One of my friends died last night. She had been suffering from cancer for a few years. I had wanted to see her for months, but it has been family only for a while. I feel frustrated that I didn't get to see her again, though I know it's not about me.
Maybe that influenced my dream last night. I was in a group of people that were abducted in a train. Somehow I got away, but I couldn't get to hit the right numbers on my seemingly miniature mobile to call emergency. and when I found someone to help me call the police were mot interested anyway.
I have another couple of friends who will be dying of cancer in the next few months. One will be a trip to the US. I would rather go while we might be some help, but I expect we will just go for the funeral.

Checking in briefly, seeing as I have been mentioned in dispatches. I'm still here, but busy, and I don't look into the Ship as often as I would like, let alone post.

Here is home, still near Bungendore, although I relocated my Sunday attendance with a flounce some years ago, and now find myself involved and responsible at All Trains.

As I have said in another place, and another context you are welcome to come and look after the twins, now 3 months old, for a few weeks/months/years.


eta: but it is only fair to warn you that the temperatures will be plummeting soon - a few years ago in December it got down to 15.9C!!

Oh, poor you. How could you bear it??

It's still more than our forecast high for tomorrow - when I will again be walking in a beech forest, all going well [Yipee] . The smell there is amazing due to the honeydew the trees secrete. (they are not related to European beech trees but were misnamed by early settlers).

Yes, the month we arrived in Darwin it plummeted to similar depths. The locals were shocked, shocked I tel you. I wanted a refund on my removal and air fare costs.

This possibly isn't a good time to tell you that here it's currently 25° (and with no humidity to speak of!), the sun is splitting the rocks and the trees are looking their autumnal best.

Mine is 22°C. I actually succumbed to heat yesterday at Sea of Faith conference. Don't know what the heating was but I went to bed and missed happy hour and dinner. For me to miss a meal is unheard of. Fortunately I recovered for the evening's entertainment.
Huia, at my first school in London when I did my Big OE, the geography teacher was immediately puzzled when I spoke of of beech trees. I knew ours were nothofagus and I've just checked that this means 'false beeches'. So you've sorted me out, cause some sites say they're related species.. And there are many more varieties in Southern Argentina and Chile.

Unfortunately the botanical expert was sick, but the DOC worker mentioned our beech trees were related to some South American species.

The DOC worker took my email address in case the botanical expert organizes an alternative date for the walk.

Today was the final day of the Walking Festival. It was pouring with rain when the coastal to wetlands walk was planned, but cleared up in the afternoon [Roll Eyes]

I start slowing down around 45°C if it's dry heat. 38-ish°C if its equatorial wet. Basically whenever the water pours off me - and of course in Dry heat it's evaporating so fast I don't notice.

I keep looking for a nice cushy job in Riyadh or Mecca, but I'm told there's an oxymoron there.

Just to make Piglet's day, it is a pleasant 34degC in our neck of the woods, with a feel of 30 due to the prevailing breeze. A cool change due later will make tomorrow a more Piglet-like 22. In other words, a typical changeable spring.

Slightly north of Rowen, and Spring has laid TP low. Swollen sinuses, runny eyes, bad head (temper to go with it!). Of course he refuses to take any medication for it, so we are all suffering along with him.

But Spring HAS indeed arrived. The lilacs and banksia roses are flowering along with all the bulbs. Floriade finishes this week.
Spent last weekend at Tuross Heads with glorious sunrises over the sea and late mizzly rain each day. The wind was still icy at times - Friday was 29 degrees but it dropped to 14 the next day because of a southerly buster howling up the eastern seaboard.
Then the temperature climbed back to the low 20's.

Not as warm here in Canberra of course - but as we have an election this coming weekend, the hot air should soon be on the rise again!

Banner Lady, I sympathise with him (and anyone within hearing distance [Biased] ).

I am not so badly affected, but I recognise that I do have a low grade attack of the grumps, however I will take any medication that doesn't knock me out.

White atarry native clematis out, though I get a better view if I stand in neighbour's drive. Hebe hulkiana in bud; it can open very slowly so I hope it's in full bloom when we get back from Matarangi – spikes of delicate lilac, sometimes called the New Zealand lilac, though it's a small bush at best.

Daughter and three mokopuna here for almost 4 weeks. Hugs replace Skype.

I saw some of the native clematis when bush walking in the weekend. When I was a child I remember it as being more plentiful. I had the fantasy that it would make a lovely, natural bridal bouquet. Totally unrealistic of course because it doesn't keep once picked, and anyway it belongs where it grows (conservation values weren't really considered in 1950s and 60s NZ).

TP possibly has a tooth access on top of all else. It is B4's 26th birthday today but she has no time to celebrate it. B3.1 returns to Adelaide tomorrow so we are babysitting and B1 moves out tomorrow afternoon with B1.1 and B1.2 following shortly thereafter.

A pleasant walk at the beach today. Dolphins were lazily rolling around in the water. I managed 25 minutes. Yesterday I pushed myself for a fairly strenuous 30 minute afternoon walk and was wiped out for the evening. Back for a coronary rehab assessment tomorrow.

More snow forecast for down Rowena's way next week!

This year may be OK but there will be a lot of growth for next year's fire season which has come from all the rain and snow now.

Glorious looking day in Sydney. Forecast of 26 and higher tomorrow. The terrible winds of the last ten days have eased to a slight breeze today and I can't see a cloud anywhere.

We won the appeal and the May decision is revoked forthwith.

Whether I'll actually go back will be a matter for much thought and prayer
