Distractions


Grand Design by Prints Charming



One has not blogged for yonks and misses it dreadfully.  

One is swamped with Uni (two subjects this semester) and full-time work.

But one is not whingeing...just observing.

Of course one gets distracted by all sorts of thing...one develops a keen interest in embroidery as per the picture above...


Then one decides to try and lose weight...again...and goes for the odd walk and sees odd trees such as in Picture Number Two.  Anyone got any idea what tree it is??


Or this one?
 

And then there are so many yummy books ... particularly now that the Booker shortlist has been announced....not just one stack but two....


And then there are friends who fly in from interstate and force one to go to art galleries....


It's a tough life I tell you....

I am, in a word, content.

What about you?

Walk


I went for a walk this morning......at last.  Purple petals were strewn in my path from the jacarandas.

This is what a jacaranda looks like in case you haven't seen one.




It rained last night so everything smelt fresh and damp....loverly.....



I enjoyed watching the fog lift off our moutain.  We live in the foothills of Mt Coot-tha which is probably more of a bump by world standards...


You can see the television antennas peeking through in this photo.

Wish me luck on my "Get thin before I turn 50 challenge!"
