The photo has nothing to do with the post. It’s an Australian ringneck parrot engaging his landing brakes. Some would have seen it before.
My husband is booked in for major surgery in a few weeks. The hospital rang to say our...

The photo has nothing to do with the post but is of a Border collie dog that was at the recent endurance ride that we attended.
Sometimes I can hit the ‘like’ button and it doesn’t take. Usually I just hit it again, and maybe...

I wrote a while back about Vince needing open-heart surgery and the date was set for May 14. The last few days we’ve been pretty much isolating as there is still a lot of covid around. Then, just yesterday, he received a call...

On our way to the horse-endurance ride last week, we stayed a night with friends at Yabberup. We house-sat there a couple of times and, during the big fires last summer, they were almost burnt out. I wrote several posts about our...

I brought back four jigsaws last time I visited my sister and yesterday I finished the 1,000 piece one. The sunflowers were a bit tricky as were the cows but I got there in the end. The pieces were normal size so I was quite...

We’ve been away for a couple of nights and just got back yesterday. We caught up with friends along the way then went to a (horse) endurance ride and caught up with more friends.
We took photos at the ride but it drizzled most...

We were given this beautiful bunch of roses yesterday. There is a lovely young lady who is the grand-daughter of one of the couples in our village. She now gets called the ‘village grand-daughter’ as she is loved by everyone here....

I love watched automated machines work whether it’s newspapers churning off the presses or machines shaking apples from trees.
Vince called me to watch a clip of farm machinery harvesting various vegetables. I know these are...

I belong to a WhatsApp group of four. We do the New York Times wordle puzzle each day and share our results on WhatsApp. Whoever solves it in the least number of turns gets smirking rights for the day.
Vin and I have an...

We travelled to a nearby city yesterday and attended a play last night in their state-of-the-art theatre.
They called it a ‘spectacular fusion of theatre and cinema’ which was a pretty true statement. The setting was the World...

Yesterday was ANZAC Day for Australia when we remember those who fought in the various wars. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The focus is on the beach landings at Gallipoli where hundreds of soldiers were...

Vince went to an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist this morning and it seems his hearing is just the same as before. It’s the hearing aid that is at fault although Vince tested it when the problem first arose. So that’s good news....

About a week ago, my husband, Vince, quite suddenly lost almost all hearing in one ear. He cleaned out his ears then went to see a doctor. The only doctor we were able to see prescribed antibiotics and steroids in case there was...

We went to visit my sister a few days ago. I took back some jigsaws and books that I’d borrowed and was pleased to have the space back but I’ve come home with four more jigsaws and another four books. You can see some of them in...

At the opening of the shopping centre, the children were treated to face-painting, balloon animals and a petting zoo. Vince had instructions to take photos of the creatures in the petting zoo so I’m able to show you a collage of...

I wrote recently about food vans that came to the oval near us. One couple there had some parrots on a lead and I wrote about them too. I thought the parrots were sun conures but it seems I was wrong.
The couple and their birds...

A small shopping centre has started up near our village. There is an IGA, a pharmacy, a medical centre, a beauty salon and soon we’ll have a Mexican takeaway/café there too.
At the fashion parade held this week in our clubhouse,...

Yesterday, our lifestyle village held a fashion parade. I thought you might like to see some of the outfits which were modelled by some of our residents. The clothes were from several different labels and available in a large...

Well, I’m home from the fashion parade and had a very enjoyable time although I didn’t buy any clothing. However, I did win not one, but two, prizes.
Before the parade started, we were told to look on the bottom of our small...

I live in a retirement village and the membership of the social committee has recently changed. There has been a lot more events happening and today there will be a fashion parade at the clubhouse. It’s not really my scene but I...
