MAE abby people! Its another drizzly day in Paradise - although I can see a large kereru (wood pigeon) in the bushes. Very eerie but atmospheric. If it were not morning it could be a vampire set!
June - too miserable here weatherwise for a 12 km walk like you. I don't bother with keeping track of the kms usually, as we live in such a hilly place that even a short walk can be a workout. So much so that many people from here get bored walking on the flat!
Mick - I love rhodos. Continuing on the walking theme in my previous life G. and I did a wonderful mountainous trek through in Northern India/Himalayas and there were huge rhodo trees in bloom. Did you know that the sap from the flowers can make a very potent AL drink. Sherpas drink it and tourists too - actually I never tried it. I preferred my chai instead.
PPQP - can't think how to weave walking into your work and legal horrors - but don't walk away! You are a strong lady and being AF as you know gives you the edge. It really helps me in my work these days.
YAH - hope the interview goes OK and that you are back in your dancing shoes soon.
SF - how are the braces? Teenagers have a lot to deal with - much of which is out of their control. We parents (but also other adult friends/family) are so important even if we have to learn to take a back seat. You are doing a great job - even from the confines of the pool!
You too Cat - great job - being a parent, keeping off the booze and being brave with a new relationship.
Blondie - diving ay? probably too hot to go for long hikes in Western Australia for most of the time.
Cinders - hows the incipient cleaning business set-up? We have someone who comes in for a few hours a week - although I think its mainly to force us to pick up!
Hi there Det. Are you on the road at the moment? I made parsley and almond pesto last night - it was just a made up recipe - but family loved it. Had it with a little pasta, plus sole fillets and salad.
The bird in the garden has shifted - so its time for me to move my bum. Today is a day of dealing with other people's matters - some work related and some and some for family.
OK - time to fly away - flap flap

. The suffering we lived with is hard to see in other people. When we can help, it is a good feeling. And those that don't want help.....are vital reminders of where I never want to be again.
