rain and it's effects
Brisbane has had 100 mils of rain in the last 24 hours. Good for the garden. Last night I was watching the news on tv when I heard a crash and a rumble. It was very dark and once I had ascertained it was nothing inside the house with me I went on with my evening.
This morning I went to pick some mulberrys for my breakfast
(don't they look nice) and when I looked down the side of the house, I saw that the scaffold for the house next door had sunk and
tipped a whole load of bricks onto my lillies and agapanthus!! The builder had neglected to tell the brick layer that the land had been filled!!

the house next door
the house next door is getting bigger and bigger. yesterday I came home and found they are now laying bricks. this neighbourhood has old colonial queensland houses and for some unknown reason, the local council is allowing a "stranger" to be built in our midst.
Anyway, spring has really sprung and the rain that we have had has made the garden very pretty. I'm even eating my own mulberrys. My front garden is in the shape of a patchwork. I originally thought I would have a low hedge and no trees but cars parked all over the street and the loss of trees to make way for my neighbour's new house has changed all that!

visit from a friend
yesterday a friend came for lunch. we had travelled to India last year and enoyed reminiscing about the travel, the people and the textiles. It seems a shame that the Commonwealth games athletes aren't supposed to go out of their village to enjoy what delhi has to offer. I took this photo at a market in Delhi in Nov 09 - how colourful can you get.

new toy
this is my latest toy - i seem to have spent a large part of the weekend playing with it and trying to get it set up to do all the things it can do. I now have pictures on it, the australian and it collects my email. the next things to work out are how to connect the keyboard and put my contacts and appointments on it.
