Before I say 'yes', I want to know who else will be there

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 8h

We had lunch with Vince’s god-daughter a few weeks ago. She has three children aged from 14 to 19. While she was away, the older daughter was going to have some girlfriends around. When we made some comments about parties getting...

I think my niece is very brave

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Apr

In about ten days’ time, we start house-sitting at our niece’s place. She, her husband and four sons are heading for England and the continent. The boys are aged from about 14 to 21 and three are on the autism spectrum. One is...

Another 'Be Careful What You Wish For' Discussion

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Apr

MyLotter Fleur (@Fleura) wrote about being careful what you wish for. When we first moved to the city about 13 years into our marriage, we found all sorts of opportunities waiting for us. One of these was the chance to attend...

Like losing an arm when the site goes down

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 16 Apr

We all had problems with the site yesterday. I kept going back and forth trying to get on. I was very surprised when one discussion ‘took’. I thought at that point that it was all good again but no – still couldn’t read or...

When children don't know the meaning of words

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 16 Apr

The photo has nothing to do with the discussion. I am reading an intriguing book called ‘Too Close to the Falls’ by Catherine Gildiner. At one point, she manages to get the better of a bully by stabbing him in the hand with a...

An update on the recovery of my photos

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 15 Apr

When we got back from our house-sitting stint, we needed to recover my photos after an external hard drive got dropped. I’m pleased to say the photos are now on a new external hard drive. The technician couldn’t recover a few of...

Celebrating a birthday early

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Apr

Our son is married and lives in Ireland with his wife. Hopefully, he will come out to see us later this year. His wife won’t fly and we’re no longer able to visit them. They don’t have any children. My sister-in-law is in much...

The guinea pigs didn't like being segregated

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Apr

The photo doesn’t have anything to do with the text but is a tribute to Austsralia’s Light Horseman. ANZAC Day is nearly upon us. It’s an important day for Australia. I haven’t got all my photos back yet. I wrote a while back...

Six hands making light work of a task

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Apr

We spent a night at my brother-in-law’s place. Our niece was playing in a brass band concert so we attended that on Saturday evening. On Sunday morning, we helped him cut up a large pile of old pickets which will provide him with...

Cheesecake at the clubhouse

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 11 Apr

The photo has nothing to do with the discussion. These lambs were having such fun. You’ve seen it before. I don’t have all my photos back yet. Every Friday, it’s ‘social night’ at our clubhouse. A few weeks ago, only two people...

I was given flowers today

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 11 Apr

I wrote about how my external hard drive got dropped and for a time we thought I’d lost all my photos. It was an accident but Vince caught his foot in a cord and pulled the laptop and drive off my lap. Today he bought me these...

I used to belong to a writing group. You would put your writing up and others would critique it for you. There were also competitions from time to time. I helped several people by editing their work and even got a credit in the...

Bet you can't find my little vagrant

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Apr

I wrote about the little weed/flower that has pushed its way up between the paving slabs at our house. I took a photo of the area to show the scale. I bet you’re battling to find the plant, aren’t you? It’s about in the middle...

Look at me! Look at me!

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 8 Apr

We are home at our retirement village and quite glad to be home. My friend has kept an eye on my garden which is very good of her but on the side path I found this little vagrant. This plant has not only forced its way up...

A grey fantail says good evening

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 7 Apr

Once again I’m using one of Vince’s photos. This is a grey fantail (Rhipidura albiscapa), a small bird with a long tail which it fans out constantly. They are only 11.5–21 cm (4.5-8 inches) long. They are similar to the willie...

Sunday Island and Hog Deer

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 7 Apr

I wrote about Wednesday, Thursday and Friday Islands so I went looking for islands named for the other days of the week. I thought Sunday Island was worth writing about. It lies on the coast of Victoria and is a barrier island,...

Not very happy at the moment

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Apr

At our house-sit, I’ve been working with my computer on my knee with a power cord running back to the wall. Tonight, Vince walked between me and the wall, caught the cord in his foot and pulled the computer off my lap. It’s...

Riding on the backs of hares

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Apr

While we’ve been in our old stamping ground, we took a trip out to a favourite winery and stocked up on a few bottles of wines we particularly enjoy. Some bottles were on display in a wooden box which was supported by these...

An update on the pumpkin

Judy Evans @JudyEv (350935) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Apr

Back on the 19th of March, I posted a photo of a pumpkin plant. There was a stone about a foot from the end of a runner. It’s now 17 days later and I’ve taken another photo of the plant. I’ve put a brick about where the stone had...
