We had a message from a friend today saying Harry, one of the last two of our sheep, had died.
We took in Harry and Solomon from a property that had been ravaged by fire. However, we hadn’t had them long and we decided to sell...

We’re into June already. It won’t be long and we’ll be having the shortest day again. Of course, that’s only for the southern hemisphere.
The photo shows the drugs that Vince has been sent home with. Some of these will stop in a...

In the photo, you can see a gadget Vince brought home with him from the coronary care unit at the hospital.
Several times a day he has to suck on the tube and get the three balls to rise to the top of their cylinders. The first...

I brought Vince home today. He had to wait for this and that doctor, then the physiotherapist and the pharmacist but eventually I was able to pick him up and bring him home. We had to go straight from the hospital to his own...

The photo has nothing to do with the post but shows the hail we had yesterday.
This post was prompted by @xFiacre who wrote about descending standards in restaurants.
I went to dinner at a friends' place last night. They live...

Vince has had his open-heart surgery and now has a ‘teddy’ which is a folded towel. He has to press it against his chest when he coughs to help to stabilise the area where the chest has been opened.
Today, I suddenly thought...

Nothing special to share today but our winter seems to have begun at last. We had a lot of rain overnight together with thunder and lightning. One huge clap of thunder made me jump. We’ve had more rain this morning and some hail....

I took a few things to the op shop/thrift store yesterday. I was looking for some knitting wool but couldn’t find any I liked. I was looking for baby wool or something similar but they only had really thick wool.
However, I did...

I wrote about the jigsaw with the piece missing. I came back from dropping some things off at the op shop/thrift store and blow me down, just off to the side of the board that I do my jigsaws on was the missing piece.
Sometimes...

We’re between seasons here in a way. It’s definitely getting cooler but not to the point where you need two or more layers.
I’ve taken to wearing a scarf with my round-necked tops. I have an assortment of scarves which you can...

I have just finished the last jigsaw that I borrowed from my sister. It's called Chance Encounter.
I found this one quite challenging as the variations in colour are very subtle but I got there in the end. It was helpful that...

I’ve just come home from visiting Vince in hospital. He’s been moved to a private room which took them two hours. He is still hooked up to oxygen but has various tubes attached so they can check this and that as needs be. He is...

I was reading an article about an 8-year-old girl who was abducted and only escaped ten years later. Then I clicked on a link where an Algerian man had been held captive for 26 years. His family had believed he’d been kidnapped or...

MyLotter @LadyDuck commented that she likes a particular chocolate which is filled with a cherry and cherry liquor. Whenever we have guests who stay overnight, I put a chocolate on their pillow.
We regularly stay a night with...

My husband has been in hospital since Monday and has had major heart surgery. As you can see, at that point, he had a number of tubes attached to his body but some have been removed now.
I’ve been to see him each day and with...

The photo has nothing to do with the post.
Hitting our news a couple of days ago was the fact that Australia’s first known cryonics facility has just deep frozen its first client, a man in his 80s. The client died on May 12 in a...

The photo has nothing to do with the discussion. I just like it.
I’ve mentioned in comments a few times that, although Australia doesn’t have the gun culture that America does, we do seem to be having more and more knife...

Eyre Bird Observatory is on the coast of Western Australia and on the southern edge of the Nullarbor Plain. Cocklebiddy (isn't that a great name?) is 49 km (30 miles) to the north but, other than that there are no settlements...

I don’t want to sound condescending, but I’ve been caught a few times assuming people in other countries know a phrase or saying that is familiar to me, only to find out it’s not known in their country.
So how about going home...

I went to see Vince in hospital this morning. I managed to find the entrance to the car park and found an empty spot but the bays were very tight. Luckily I have a smallish car. I was able to pay with coins so that was good. I...
