Hello Metro

Took a train to check out Connex's replacement.


Wonder if the stolen supermarket trolley enjoyed the ride?

Wondering

What will happen when the last bolt gives way?


I have a feeling it will involve the electricity company coming out and disconnecting the power to the property, then the electrician moving the "point of attachment" to a different spot, then having the power re-connected. Then some repair work on the woodwork, and then some painting. It all sounds expensive.

Christmas is Coming

The Christmas tree guy at the end of my street opened for business.


And yes, there was more rain today.

Fish Pond

It is getting tricky to photograph the fish, because the plants are growing crazily. You can just see 3 here.

Rain

80mm of rain in the gauge.


Don't know why Blogger has tipped the photo on its side. All the water will run out!

Every Thursday morning at about 9:30 I see this on my way to work.


Those who don't have to go to work enjoying a morning coffee in the mall.

Blackout

Cut out about 90 white triangles, and two whole garments, while waiting for the electricity to come back on. Then I sewed more triangles to the ones from the 12th.

Triangles

Chain-pieced some triangles to relax after work.


Later they will get a few other bits added to them, to make a block called "Leap frog" designed by Bonnie Hunter. One day they will be a quilt...

There are more of some colours than I expected.

Overcoming the Block

For nearly a month I've done nothing on my Red Delicious quilt, because I couldn't get the thorns to work in this block.


Today I decided that my roses didn't have to have thorns.

Airconditioning

To escape the heat, (and take advantage of cheap Monday tickets), I saw the film in cinema 11, followed by the one in cinema 5.

Sister

Spent the afternoon with my sister, who is visiting from interstate.

We shared that flourless chocolate cake, and it was very good.

Iris

Planted some "free-cycled" iris rhizomes.



Hope they will survive - it seems too hot to be transplanting them at the moment.

It is Eucalyptus leucoxylon (yellow gum) 'Eukie Dwarf'.
