TUESDAY CHAT

Is it worth even doing a chat today I wondered and decided it was probably not but here goes anyway.

I have decided that where we live is destined to dry out before surrounding areas.   There has been rain in Perth but at our place, very little.   I checked the BOM website this morning and the 24 hour rainfall was widespread but would you believe that where we live was devoid of any rainfall?  We seem destined to keep watering out garden while others are complaining about too much rain!!  At least the days are cooling down at last so have to be thankful for small mercies, as my mum used to say.  My frangipani are still flowering and this is a picture of my Classic White, so lovely.


Speaking of mum, on 15th April it will be 119 years since she was born in London, England.  It is now 31 years since she departed this mortal coil but it seems it was only yesterday.  She is still so very much with me every day and I am sure I still do things of which she would disapprove.  She was just so much cleverer than I will ever be.

Youngest great-granddaughter will be celebrating her 4th birthday towards the end of April so I am hoping this will mean another family gathering.  We've not heard from or seen them since Easter and I do miss them so much.  I know how busy they all are and must not expect anything else from them but......sometimes you can't help it.

I know there is nothing much of interest here but I needed to write something just to keep in touch so forgive me if it is all a little jumbled, a little like my old brain at times.
