Spinnering

Yar. Got me a used spin bike. Not too flash but it was cheap and it will do the trick if I can make sure I use it. Here's hoping. Got a raspberry vine and some Vietnamese mint too! Had a pretty good work week with some great team meeting and hospital experiences. Got to run my first MBS in 2 years. Very fun. Went for drinks with friends twice at our favourite bar too. Super fun!

What to do with all these plants

Spent the rest of my day planting and fixing the reticulation in the garden. It was nice and relaxing and not too hot outside.

Plant spree!

There was a huge plant sale on today so I got there super early and was first in! just before going in i saw lots of cute grey kangaroos munching away in the fields.  top shot is of them...blurry but you can just make them out. Got 10 plants, half were fruit trees. Other half were: a huge black bamboo plant, cherry blossom tree, chalice vine, and some blood lilies. Fruit trees were avocado, tree tomato, vanilla ice cream bean, white sapote, rose apple, and custard apple. Got a few pots too. Amazing. A friend met me there and then we grabbed breakfast and went for a walk with Miski on Middleton beach. Lovely morning!

Walk around the neighborhood

Yesterday I took Miski for a stroll around the block after work. It was a very hot day until our walk when the clouds gathered. It was lovely and the sunset that evening was spectacular.

Glass sculpture at hospital

Had the hospital site orientation today. It's lovely but I need a map! Anyway at one entrance is this gorgeous glass art installation. It's so peaceful to look at. I'd like one at home.

Total bliss

Had a busy work day and was tired when I got home. Almost went for a walk but talked myself out of it unfortunately. Anyway as a compromise I sat in back or rather on the side of the house to watch a spectacular sunset. It was so relaxing and peaceful with the gum tree swaying in the breeze and for those few moments it was bliss. Then Miski would come by and stick her wet nose on my foot. How cute. Can't wait to have even a side deck on which to sit and watch the skies. The scenery here and specifically our view is so amazing. I feel lucky to live here and can't wait for jose to get home. Wish you could all join me for some sun tea :)

incredible sunset

albany 2013 album here  wow. last night's sunset was incredible.  some of the clouds were long with curls on the end.  made me wish we had a deck out front so i could watch from a lounge chair.  anyway today i was going to rest but instead took another long walk with miski, pruned the roses out front, though i think it's a lost cause, got the whipper snipper/weed whacker up and running and cut the back grass.  that was pretty funny, i've never used one of those before and it took me a while to get the hang of it.  my arms feel like jello.
