My friend's unique flower

Judy Evans @JudyEv (343824) • Rockingham, Australia 20h

If I had to design a flower that was unique and different, I couldn’t have come with something like what you see in the photo. It’s a bromeliad – Tillandsia guatemalensis – to be exact, and it’s blooming in my friend’s garden....

My plan was to make up a batch of clam chowder last night for dinner, but after we dropped mom off after running some errands, and since my mom currently lives with my sister and brother-in-law, we wound up having a bit of an...

How many Singapores to go?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (343824) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Jan

I mentioned couch-surfing in a recent post and was reminded of two people we hosted who were from Singapore. At that stage, they hadn’t done much travelling and they were very befuddled with our distances. We would be driving...

We need to accept other customs and cultures

Judy Evans @JudyEv (343824) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Jan

I sort of promised to write about this but I hope it doesn’t upset too many. Remember, I’m just stating facts. The fact is that, in Peru, guinea pigs are considered a delicacy. They are known there as ‘cuy’ and have been a part...

M Cheung I agree. We need to tolerate or respect other cultures. But in some cases, I just cannot accept, such as eating dog or cat's meat.

In the hills I love the mist and the fog

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (19868) 17 Jan

During this period the hills are filled with mist and fog. The morning and the evening are really beautiful. Whereever there are forests there are even beautiful scenes. There is a lovely smell of the mist of the winter.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (343824) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Jan

When we first moved from our country property to the city, we did quite a lot of house-sitting in various places around the countryside. Then Vince needed several major operations so in 2024 we didn’t do any. Now, the people who...
