Gluten-free wafers for church-goers

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 28 Apr

Many of you would know that our younger son lives in Ireland. A few weeks ago, his 87-year-old mother-in-law fell and broke her hip. Unfortunately, she didn’t survive the operation and was buried on a few days ago. Through the...

We've scored ourselves a workbench

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 28 Apr

When we moved here from our 15 acres, we had to downsize in a big way. Recently, someone in the village was offering a free workbench so we were quick to offer to take it off their hands. It was a bit tatty and the top was...

Back in the land of the living

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Apr

It’s a great many years since I’ve been in hospital but I spent a night there recently. They were very thorough with the paper work even if it did take a lot of time. Every time anyone came anywhere near me I had to give my full...

Back in my own bed

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Apr

I slept in my own bed last night after having one night in hospital after a small operation on my throat. So far, I’ve only been having clear liquids but today I can have any liquids so it’s yummy soups, custards and yoghurts for...

AI photography under the microscope

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 25 Apr

Six months ago, western Australia introduced fancy new AI-assisted traffic cameras which see into the front of the car. They are supposed to pick up if people aren’t wearing seatbelts or are wearing them incorrectly, if the driver...

My new-to-me jigsaws

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Apr

The photo shows the three new-to-me jigsaws that I picked up yesterday at the swap meet. The centre one will be interesting. The word on the box says ‘jigsaw’ backwards and the picture that appears when the puzzle is complete will...

Going under the knife

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Apr

There’s nothing like being a bit dramatic and a drama queen but don’t get too concerned. Early tomorrow I’m having an operation called Zenkers peroral endoscopic myotomy, more easily thought of as Zenker’s POEM. Zenker’s...

Searching the skies

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Apr

At Easter, we went to Nungarin Military Museum to watch them operate a searchlight which was in use during World War II. When first found, the searchlight was in a number of pieces. It was restored over several years by some...

I'm going to a jigsaw/puzzle swap meet shortly

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Apr

Shortly I’ll be going up to the clubhouse as they’re having a jigsaw/puzzle swap day. There are a lot of jigsaws in a drawer in the clubhouse so those will probably be up for grabs too so they can make room for some different...

Dry-land farming in Kenya

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Apr

When I read this article on the news website, I immediately thought of our myLotting friend, Siddi, (@SIDIKIMPOLE) who lives in Kenya. Australian farmer, Stuart Barden, now lives 50 kms south of Kenya’s capital, Nairobi. In 2009,...

New kitchenware for the chef

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Apr

The photo shows a set of kitchenware that we purchased while we were house-sitting. We went into a big shopping mall just to see what stores were there. They seemed to have at least two of every sort of shop. We spotted a store...

This is what Vince is REALLY like!

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Apr

I thought you’d like to see this grumpy old man that I live with. Some time ago I posted an AI photo of Vince but it was a happy one. He looked like a benign old man. After he saw the ‘happy photo’, he asked for a grumpy...

Horse-works in Nungarin

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Apr

I took these photos at the Nungarin Military Museum Open Day, where we were able to watch a ‘horse-works’ or whim in operation. This mechanical device was in common use before the days of mechanisation. The horse-works supplied...

My sister is in hospital

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Apr

My sister is in hospital about an hour away from us. They are not too sure what is wrong. She is dizzy and nauseous and feels very weak. They are running lots of tests to try to get some answers. She is 88 and we share a birthday...

We were tanked to see a tank

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Apr

Now we’ve finished house-sitting and are home again, I have access to all my photos. The collage is of the tank that was at the Military Museum in Nungarin. They were giving rides in the tank but it wasn’t cheap. When the tank...

Jensen??? Or Brian???

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Apr

I correspond online with a friend in England. Over a few years we’ve shared bits and pieces of our lives and we both enjoy our mutual chats. I told her about our latest house-sitting effort and sent her a photo of Jensen. When...

Two friends relaxing

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Apr

We returned from our house-sit yesterday and I thought you might like one last photo of Jensen, the retired greyhound, that we cared for for the week. He and Vince were good mates as you can guess from this photo of them both...

Other people's houses

Judy Evans @JudyEv (378696) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Apr

An interesting thing about house-sitting is seeing how others decorate their homes. The house we’ve just left has this cow-hide rug on the floor. They don’t really appeal to me. Many moons ago, my father tanned some sheepskin...
