A week in the sun and Visiting friends.

Lovely week lots of sunshine.
Spent a couple of days cleaning up the backyard emptying out water from containers and pot plants all over the place, sweeping paths of dead soggy leaves and washing.

New plants coming they must think it's a early spring we haven't had winter yet.

But will protect from Drummy she likes new shoots but thats another story and I'm not talking to her at the moment.

No more room on the clothesline socks go on the back of chairs.

And not  a cat on a lounge anywhere all missing.

It's Friday and off to visit friends at we had fresh make scones and different jams, very nice.

If you look closely you can see the cook in the background, why do men make better scones than a lot of women, the beer fairy makes mine too.

Off to my daughters on friday night to visit Angus and catch up on some tv shows and eat lovely pizza.

Angus wants some too.

Then on saturday catching up with a old friend.

It's been a few years since we have been to the old neighbourhood, a few changes.

And look here is Leeroy sleeping in the sun on my seat.

A new weather station and sun at last.

 Out shopping today before the rain comes back again tomorrow, paying bills at the post office they had these weather stations so I bought one, I thought they were pretty good and only $5 but their was only two left they were much more the other day so I guess they were trying to get rid of left over stock.

 Drummy painting is almost finished her drumsticks are not right she has filled out a lot in the last few weeks.

 I'm not much good at selfies, but I try.

 It was a lovely day yesterday  so I took some sunny shots as it's not going to last tomorrow afternoon more clouds and rain on Friday and Saturday.

 Two pumpkins are growing the others must have rotted or fallen off, as they are just gone.

 Blue sky and very little cloud.

 Dry areas, that's nice.

 and a clean floor.

Breakfast with Dummy and hail in autumn on Anzac day.

It's hard to eat with Drummy she always wants some and will have a go at anything.
The beer fairy wanted noodles for breakfast these are spicy and of course we must eat them out of a saucepan. I sat there and laughed then got the camera.

He tried standing up.

but gave up and just fed them to her, she jumps up and grabs the noodle but I was a bit slow and this one is a bit fuzzy.

she ended up with about half.

Today is Anzac day beautiful morning sunny and warm but the afternoon clouded over very quickly and the heavens opened masses of rain and hail, we only got a small amount compared to the rest of Sydney.

we have been putting down newspaper as our laundry floods

and Drummy like to sit in the toilet when raining she just doesn't like wet feet.

It just pours off the gutters they just can't cope

My solar power box is all alight I think it is transferring power back to the grid but normally you don't notice it but it is so dark.

Lots of drama at bingo today.

 The fire alarm went off at bingo today, no one took much notice of it as it happens from time to time usually they work it out and it's not a problem.
About 20 mts later went we were getting our lunch they announced everyone was to leave at once.
We had separated my friends mother who is 98 and on a walker had gone off to play the poker machines as she had her lunch earlier, we had a quick scoot around but were ushered out by the staff.
She was helped out by one of the staff members and this fellow went to look for her and wheeled her up to where we were waiting, they were very good and I was very impressed by the kindness shown to her, no panic by the 98 year old, at all see stay calm and you will live for ever.

 This is my friend new hairstyle a little bit wind blowen as it's windy and raining a lot today and we been standing around in the rain for a bit.
Anyway we went back to the club but were told to go out again as the problem wasn't  fixed after that we just went down to the car park and drove home as soon as we allowed into the car park.
It was on the news 1200 people were involved and it was a fire in a pizza oven and had moved into ducts so that's why it took so long to be located and controlled but all is well now.

 Plenty of firemen and police out the front.

 and fire trucks.

 Remember the bears up a tree well they were having a party today, even have a car up there for a quick getaway.

 I bought this jigsaw for a few dollars last week, it took a week to do
 it much easier than the one with 1000pieces it took a month, do you like jigsaws I find them relaxing.
This one only has 500 pieces.

 These two were not too friendly too busy eating and cleaning up afterwards.
I was waiting on the front porch to go to bingo as it's pouring outside.
Nothing like fresh water off the roof.

And this is the 98 year old lady being rescued and escorted by a kind gentleman.
