Tuesday 27th May

Phew....finally finished the newsletter for another 2 months. Of course, just after I'd emailed it to the printer I had a phonecall from someone to see if I could put something else in it. Too late. Decided to pick it up on the way to work tomorrow, rather than make a special trip out in the rain tonight.
What a shame the preliminary final for our tennis today has had to be postponed till next week, because of the rain. We were doing okay too, although a late start with having to mop up one court. Was good tennis too. My first set took over an hour, with us winning the tie-break 8-6, so not much in it really. The other girls played almost 2 sets during that time too.
My weekend work has halted for the time being, thank goodness. Will be nice to have some time to get out in the garden again, weather permitting.
How'z this new haircut??
What a disgrace is the Camden community. Shame on them.
Good news on the Euc. erythrocorys - it has some new shoots. What a pity Betty threw hers out.
The Ginkgo tree is still a glorious gold with a carpet underneath.

Wednesday 21st May

Another nice bit of rain over the last few days. Just over an inch in fact. I should be out there planting in every spare minute, but the cold and damp is not so conducive at the moment.
Some more good wins at tennis, both last Tuesday, Thursday, and yesterday. This puts us into the finals for Tuesday next week.
Our Ginkgo tree outside the kitchen door is looking just beautiful at the moment, as you can see.
Must say I am finding all this weekend work a bit of a struggle at the moment. Don't seem to have much time to relax, what with the newsletter hanging over me this week, and tennis 2 days, and work Wednesdays, and Thurs night. Roll on June, when hopefully no more weekend work. Fitting my moves in on Scrabble (with Ann in Brisbane, and Joanne in NY) is fun too!
Went out to dinner with Ginnie, Kerry, Alan and Michelle Saturday night. Happy Birthday to Michelle for yesterday.
Ginnie, Michelle and I are hoping to see The Painted Veil sometime soon, and I would also like to see Unsecret.

Thursday 8/5

A whole week without posting.
I must admit I have been distracted by lots of work and our plant sale on Sunday among other things.
Last week I had plenty of work on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday afternoon.
Thursday night was our Yarra Yarra monthly plant meeting, at which I supplied the laptop to run the powerpoint presentation by our speaker. This entailed a bit of preparation on the Wednesday morning before work, checking out that it all worked, since it is a new digital projector the group has bought. Glad I did, as I had to ring the ASUS help desk to find out how to get it on the screen. Spent all day at our plant sale Sunday, which did extremely well as usual. Then Tuesday night our Committee Meeting was held here.........a bit protracted, with lots of discussion on the problems with our Victorian group, planning for this year's Flower Show to come, the success of our recent plant sale, etc etc.
Tennis was successful last Tuesday, and again this week, but last Thursday's tennis was a washout. Lovely to get some rain though. Today's game was a win too.
Work this week on Wednesday, and Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
Hope you have fun playing with Milimba my virtual cat.
