@Luckynana Lois sounds like a wonderful neighbour then close friend to you both. I am very sorry for your loss.

I was dropping off a book to a street library yesterday whilst the owner of the house was spraying his grass out the front. A guy walking his dog stopped and informed the owner in a polite manner that the spray he was using was toxic to dogs.

@FromSea2ShiningSea looks like you are having lovely weather. Your photos are stunning. Thank you.

This set up & your dishes looks very similar to The Test Kitchen on Virgin Voyages. Except the menu - you get a description of each dish. On VV you just get a single ingredient.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate it. We have had lovely weather for Good Friday in Sydney - a very pleasant 26C. This morning, I did an 8km undulating urban walk and was delighted to find towards the end that this cafe was open serving all day breakfast. Afternoon and evening we spent at the beach first relaxing on the sand then later enjoying take away fish & chips for tea in the adjacent park with many others enjoying their family picnics on this lovely evening. A young group near us had a guitar and were singing Sweet Caroline and other songs. Meanwhile, DD sent me this photo taken on their drive to Calgary.

Just looked at the photos from my son’s soccer trip to Japan. I remember being really excited that he would be in Japan for the cherry blossoms. On his return I asked him did he see many blossoms - “mum, they were EVERYWHERE”. (Easter pre-pandemic)

Good Friday here in Sydney. Looking forward to four days off work and a family get together. Won myself this Easter egg in a raffle. Smashed it up last night and it filled two large Tupperware containers. Won’t be needing any chocolate for a while that’s for sure…. Watched first episode of 3 bodies on Netflix, thanks for the recommendation. I am intrigued and looking forward to watching more.

@DaniDanielle I wish your grandson didn’t have to write that but it is indeed beautifully written. 2 years. Please remind me how old he is now. @dani negreanu sorry you are unwell. Get better soon. @FromSea2ShiningSea pretty sure I speak for everyone that we don’t mind how long your posts are. Your photos are stunning.

Stunning photos! A whole fish for breakfast is an interesting concept.

Thanks. 3 body problem sounds like a better choice for me than the Lockerbie doco that DH just recommended to me. Started watching the doco & then decided watching it 2 weeks before a 15hr long haul flight is not a good idea.

True but It’s because he wants to do an specific overnight hike next year that is a solid 20km each day (you can’t split it) and he wants to see if it’s do-able.

You know I love birds. Please share photos if you happen to take any when you visit after your move. That’s a good distance each way. I took Max on a 4km one way walk last weekend and got DH to collect us, thinking 4km would be enough for Max. Nope, he started barking and wanted to keep going. So, he is getting 8km walks, a couple of times, this Easter weekend.

The weekend I fly back from Alaska, DH wants to do a brand new 20km bushwalk that has just opened up in the Blue Mountains. I read the link he sent me, where it is suggested you do the walk in two stages with an overnight in beautiful Leura which sounds ideal. Nope, DH wants to do the full 20km walk in one day. Me “but I need to go slow for photos!” plus I love Leura…I’ll have to convince him. Either way, looks like I’ll be using the stairs to Deck 14 on the cruise to keep my fitness up. I already plan to walk the entire sea wall perimeter of Stanley Park in Vancouver on the morning I fly in from Sydney.

+ 1. Very tragic. Thoughts go out to the families impacted.

This would be Max…

I recently discovered one of our local supermarkets sells Krispy Kreme’s. This is NOT a good thing. I have to restrict myself to shopping there once a week because OMG. Haven’t had a Krispy Kreme in years prior to this discovery. The supermarket has the best calorie loaded varieties too 🤤

Oh, haven’t heard of that one. Will have to look it up. Thanks

Quick question - for Princess is there a cut off date for doing your online check-in before a cruise?

That looks great.

Airlie Beach - Ocean Rafting ship excursion. Cairns - spent hours in the free pool on the foreshore. Afternoon - ship excursion - stretch limo tour to Cairns Cascades and Port Douglas. Port Douglas - did the ship excursion with Quicksilver to outer reef platform for snorkeling. All done through Carnival. Enjoyed all of them. tip - if you haven’t done a cruise by of Willis Island before, make sure you are on the open deck as you slowly cruise past as the reef pilot will interview one of the scientists who live on the island and broadcast it through the ship speakers. Interesting

Sincere condolences to your god-daughter.

Happy 2nd Birthday to Annabel

@FromSea2ShiningSea Japan during the cherry blossom season 🌸. Can’t wait to see your beautiful photos from this trip. @Ozark_Kid Happy Birthday. I know how much joy the garden gives my dad. Wonderful that your family is ensuring you can continue to access and enjoy your garden.
