Tuesday morning

Have had some nice rain the last couple of days - about 17mm all up. Long may it continue.
I have been disappointed with one of my Bunnings plants - a Eucalyptus erythrocorys - planted it out soon after purchase, and it is already dying. My friend Betty bought one at the same time, and it seems hers is dying back also, and hers is still in the pot. Think it must have been pushed along too quickly in its growth and hadn't been hardened off enough before sale - there was a lot of new tender leaf growth on it when we bought them.
Well, I have succumbed to joining Facebook. I decided I needed to know more about it as a librarian - people do come to us expecting us to know all about everything on the internet! I must say I am not impressed with it so far - not intuitive to find your way around it. Though Annie was quick off the mark inviting me to a game of Scrabulous (Scrabble) before I'd even signed up fully! So that will be fun to play, though I expect they will be very long interrupted games.
Yesterday saw a really cold snap arrive, though it only got down to 10deg last night. Oops, look at the time - am off to tennis.
