Out with the old, in with the second-hand

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368260) • Rockingham, Australia 28 Dec

About a month ago, I posted a photo of a jigsaw I was attempting. However, I gave up on it. There was too much dark and a piece could go in multiple places quite easily which made it even more difficult. So it went back in its box...

Closing Lilly Street for a lasagna competition

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368260) • Rockingham, Australia 28 Dec

This post is about lasagna but I don’t have an appropriate photo so you’re getting a photo of a beesting, another favourite of mine. Lilly Street in South Fremantle, Western Australia, had its day in the sun recently. Since...

Helping out with DIY a few years back

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368260) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Dec

This discussion has been inspired by Snowy and the fact that her son had been able to do a few ‘odd jobs’ for her. Some years ago, we visited our son in Melbourne. We travelled with our caravan so were able to take some power...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368260) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Dec

Another nice little story that I read today was about ladybugs being released in the gardens around Parliament House in Canberra, Australia’s national capital. The gardeners there are having trouble with aphids on the garden...

Lucinda is alive but someone else has her heart

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368260) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Dec

I hope you’re all recovering from a joyous Christmas, if you celebrate. Soon we’ll be facing a new year with new challenges and experiences. I read an incredible story today about a young girl who had cystic fibrosis. To continue...

Free Rolexs for British prisoners-of-war

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368260) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Dec

We watch Antiques Roadshow most afternoons and there are some really interesting items that appear. Sometimes the back stories are very intriguing too. A Rolex watch was shown which had belonged to a British POW who was interned...

More than one way to splint a broken ankle

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368260) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Dec

I read today that a woman in a remote part of Arnhem land in the far north of Australia slipped and broke her ankle in three places. With no mobile coverage and too far from her camp for anyone to hear her cries, she crawled 500...

Don't park here. Who would want to?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368260) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Dec

I am trying to sort out my photos. I have duplicates of a lot; one in a larger size and one under 3MB if I’ve used it for myLot. I came across this one at a community hall iin a small West Australian town. It says ‘Don’t park...

What's in a name?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368260) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Dec

I’m using the same photo as the last discussion to draw your attention to the ‘outrageously thick’ custard. We hadn’t seen these before but, as well as the Bailey’s flavoured custard, there was Limoncello, Caramel, Spiced Brandy...

Cream puffs for Christmas

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368260) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Dec

In my terms, I’ve had a really busy day so it’s nice to sit down and share a bit of time with you all. I did two loads of washing, we shopped and we also visited our sister-in-law who lost her husband (Vince’s brother) earlier...

A mouse brings down a major supermarket

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368260) • Rockingham, Australia 21 Dec

The photo is of a guinea pig, not a mouse. I heard a story today that I found amusing. The country town where we both grew up has two major grocery stores, Coles and IGA. A few months back, a naughty mouse chewed through a...

A shout-out to Donnybrook stone

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368260) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Dec

The photo shows the old Baptist Church in Donnybrook, Western Australia, where we used to live. The photo has been ‘enhanced’ a bit by Vince. The Anglican Church is also constructed of the same stone. The church is made of...

There is always something new to learn but even so, some things still surprise me. A friend has become allergic to cold and now carries an EpiPen. Imagine being allergic to cold!! It seems it is quite difficult to control but so...

There one minute, somewhere else the next

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368260) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Dec

I had to undergo a gastroscopy today where a small tube is put down your throat and pictures taken with its tiny camera. All quite mind-blowing stuff. I don’t want to go into details but when they were ready to go ahead, they...

Hijacking discussions - aye or nay

Judy Evans @JudyEv (368260) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Dec

I’ve heard about ‘hijacking a post’ and wondered if anyone would like to comment. I’m not too sure what it even is. The other day I found myself responding to many responses/comments then suddenly realising it wasn’t my...
