Rags

Got him!!

I bought myself a new plant from the nursery, the flowers are so pretty and the buds are on the stems not the branches. (Brazilian plumbs do the same thing.) And my little birds just couldn't resist the nectar. A... Continue reading

Trying to cross the T's and dot the i's

I know I shouldn't worry but I want everything in order before I start the intensive part of my treatment. So, I mowed the lawns, did the garden and got things in order and wore myself out in the process.... Continue reading

Sally Whitwell

I first heard Sally perform as the accompanist of the Gondwana Children's choir. There was something about her performances that made them different from every other accompanist I have ever heard. This one one of her compositions. She is a... Continue reading

I'm not up to doing anything much at the moment but I have been working on the cross stitch. I have to make some corrections to my previous report. I find that I have to use the magnifier. I nearly... Continue reading

Book - The Man Who Died Twice

This is an enjoyable, entertaining read. In fact I read it in one sitting. I should try and pace myself but I got caught up in the story and just kept reading. I think it has been written with the... Continue reading
