Yesterday I had a Hair at our local Hairdressers, the last time I had a haircut was about 3 years ago and it was free because I'd won a voucher at a lunch.

Our garden is loving lots of attention not only from us but our favourite Niall as well.

There are 50 buds of our extra dark Orange Clivias waiting to burst into flower and 40 buds on our lighter Orange Cliveas, they both really lighten up our garden that's for sure.

Hang on... What the heck is this on our tennis bench?? Mmmm... methinks it's one of those possums doing their business!

Passionfruit Flummery... Just love and it brings back wonderful memories of Wollogorang where Linda, the cook, made this often and gave me the recipe.

It's Book Week around here at the moment so of of course this lovely photo came to mind.

May Gibbs stories were very popular with these too back then so I dressed them as... Briony was a Pink Blossom and Gwilym was a Gum Nut Baby.

Now here's a story.

Back in 1970 David and I were travelling through the USSR and just loving it all, we changed American Dollars into Russian Ruple in Denmark on our way to the USSR, we got about 7 Ruple for 1 $US not bad, when in the USSR we were told we had to change our Dollars to Ruples only in banks and it would be 1 for 1, so it was surprising to have young men come up to us in the streets wanting to give us about 5 Ruple for one US$, guess what... we never changed any money in banks but we were rich for the first time so I bought my first Babushka at the GUM Store in Moscow.

After we went across Sibera on the railway then when about to leave the USSR at Nakhodka and sail to Tokyo we were told that we had to give back any USSR money we still had but there would be no $US to replace them... so what's a girl to do... hide the one and only coin we still had in my shoe!
