Hot hot hot but cooler at home.

I bought two avocado's and the beer fairy doesn't eat them so I will have to have them for breakfast for a few days, they lasted for 3 days so I'm taking food pictures lately, and Leeroy pictures too.




 A blueberry milkshake maybe I should have put some sugar in but more healthy this way.
 Leeroy is dreaming, she was making grunting sounds and pawing the air wonder what she is dreaming about.
 We are awake now and not happy I'm getting the evil eye, the yellow one.
 I have a new gazebo but it's not too good so the streets umbrella is supporting it, well it is providing some shade to the back garden lots of growth up there but it gets super hot in the middle of summer and all will burn if no shade at all.

 There once was a tree but it died, we believe it was struck by lightning as it was completely brown in 24 hours and never recovered, this is the stump.
 Lots of greenery and lots cooler in summer




 But as you can see the middle bit is not right.


 All the new things I've planted out are going ok all from cuttings.

 I repainted my fancy bird cage it needs to be done every few years.
 Of course it has a fake bird in it, I don't like birds in cages and the only pet bird we have is Pidge and he is free to come and go as he likes, I think he had a fight with the girlfriend she has not been around for a while now.
All I can say is it's super hot here, I usually enjoy summer but this year not so much.

Mavis turns 100.

I went to a 100year old's birthday party yesterday, this was a first for me, it was Barbara's mother      Mavis 100 birthday last week she is my oldest mate.
Held in the local club a wonderful affair all her family and a few friends.   
You can get a blessing from the pope
A letter from the Queen
I think this one is from the governor general
                                                 and this one is from the prime minister.

These were the place mats various things of interest from her lifetime
Did you know listerine was once used as a aftershave lotion, I didn't......
The front page of the daily telegraph on the day Mavis was born.

And her flowers she asked we all bring a artifical flower to make a display and give a donation to the stroke foundation instead of gifts.
Her cake was quite something made by her great grand daughter.

Here we are, The Bingo girls as Mavis called us, as we have been going for some time now.
Here is a much better picture of Mavis with her grand daughter.
She is looking good for 100.

A day visiting and the rest of the week too hot to move much.

Today was a horror super hot, I slept in the lounge room under the fan, I took the rubbish out and checked the mail a layer of sweat in a few seconds.
Yesterday I was making a red and white spotty dress for my grand daughter
but much to hot today for sewing,  because I know this cat will think it's hers, I will put it out of  reach and finish it tomorrow. On Thursday I'm visiting the twins and their mum so will finish it by then, my friend is coming with me, Thursday is the only coolish day this week all other days are 40c or close to it.

I found I had no photos of my daughter on my camera she took some of my photos, so I took this one of her  well a painting of her I did a long time ago.
This is the finished dress, but little things are so tiny and hard to make.
And this one I got from Target to give me the size.
Another one that was just so cute .
And we mustn't forget my grand son, who doesn't want a suit of cacti.
Here he is sleeping in the pram on a bed of Tall animals with long necks.
We went out for lunch and this little bloke slept all the way there while eating and home again.
Or  I not sure what, on a bed of chickens, maybe, but the little miss was wide awake and full of life.
Not to happy about something
Now thats much better
Well maybe not
Many moods in a few minutes.
They are well strapped in these days.
My friend and I at lunch
This was my lunch

and hers
Some of the street gardens are quite lovely.
Who leaves their shoes at the railway station., they don't look very old maybe not very comfortable.
Well thats my week.
