BRINGING EVERYONE UPTODATE

It's incredible how quickly time passes.    2020 and here in 2021, here in Melbourne (Victoria) Australia, we are in Lockdown again.   Our Sixth Lockdown!   So what does a "lady" do with her time?

Well, for an ageing gracefully (or outrageously!) lady, it's a matter of perspective.   Attitude comes into it as well.   No sense in becoming bored or cantakerous although I've been known to take on this attribute at times.  No , it's a matter of doing what I've always done since I began my years in building up my "career".   I've always been a "list-maker".   Pen and paper accompany me at all times.    It's also essential to remain focussed, to have a sense of humour and a determination often described as being single-minded.

It's also essential that the lists I make come into fruition.   If not, I disregard that particular note and get on with other things.   Just as important things, that is.

So with that, and with the re-introduction of my posts I apologise for taking so long since my previous thoughts.   You'd think my excuse would be I'd been too busy, but sadly no.   But I've done a heck of a lot of reading!!!  

The other thing I've been doing over the past couple of years is also taking photos.  Well, doesn't everyone?  Especially if you have a smart phone of whatever brand.   But I enjoy it, and it's been something that's kept me occupied especially during our lockdowns.  So don't be surprised to see lots of photos of flowers and plants.   Mind you, I guess if I looked around the internet I'd see that thousands of other people are doing the same thing.  But I figure that this blog has always been about adjusting to life as it is, not as we would like it.    So flowers it is, folks.  

  



As you can tell I love looking at the textures amd many hidden mysteries within the natural world around us.   Of course we're unable to venture too far out of our local area - 5 kms at the most - but it's quite amazing what one can find.

So let me leave this post with this quotation:  

"Flowers always make people better, 
happier, and more helpful; 
they are sunshine, 
food and medicine for the soul."
