Sunday Selections

 I rarely follow blog themes, but on occasion get inspired. Unfortunately I don't really know the etiquette of memes but hat tip to River and Andrew who had their posts up this morning, thus striking the flame.

Image of a mob of Kangaroos across the road from my house. 

Kelly requested more roos. We regularly have many kangaroos - it may be the thing that we miss the most when we do move, as not many places in town offer this.

 

Painted sign on footpath advising "Slow Zone" with a snail image.  

Its amazing how many people meander along these paths - but they are a shared zone and there are also a lot of people who zoom along these paths on bikes (and even more horrifyingly, e-scooters and e-bikes) so there is a requirement to remind people to be considerate - this is near the playground, so even more so!

 

Image of very aged concrete with very little insects!!

I am not sure if you can see it, but in the crack in the driveway concrete there are several gazillion ants moving to higher ground with their eggs - a flood is coming!

 

Red grapefruit tree laden with green fruit (and a very lush lawn requiring attention_ 

The grapefruit tree (and the orange and the lemon) are all abundant with fruit this season - we are hoping that a few ripen before we leave, but that is in the hands of the real estate gods come 5th Feburary.

 


2 images of a garden bed planted with petunias, celosias and snapdragons and hemmed by bricks and concrete  

These photos were taken 2 weeks apart - the main difference being the effects of a pressure wash - I am hoping that those flowers get a go ahead soon but they are starting to put together a bit more colour.

 

4 panel cartoon - adult asks "How was school today Nelson?"  Nelson replies "A mean kid asked if I was a nerd."  Adult: "What did you say to him?"  Nelson: "I said I preferred the term 'Smarter than You'".  Attaboy.
 
Enjoy your Sunday folks!
 
On my list today is painting, packing boxes, taxiing the teenager, lawn-mowing and wondering what is for dinner - oh, and then making it, I suppose. 
 
(Apologies for the layout - blogger is having a tantrum!)
