Barkley Blah!

The first time I started a blog, it was because I had something to say, hence the turningsixty blog was born. Then I started the MyBookBlog, an ongoing project to help me write 'The Book'.
Now, this one looks like being a "Sometimes Journal", definitely a reflection of the current pace of my life.

in the backyard..

stakebird

I've been puzzling over why the kangaroo paw flower stems have been breaking - having used very thin flexible bamboo stakes to hold them up and there has never been a problem in the past. But this year, I went down to put in a few more stakes, and found the stems bent and broken.

Check out the look on it's face..
priceless..

26 Semaphore Road, ADELAIDE

Daughter Carlena has joined with three of her friends to open a new venture at a beautiful beach location in Adelaide. It is a wine bar called The Third Cork, with fine wines, wonderful food, classy surroundings, live music and good company. Their ‘opening night’ last Friday was a HUGE success - congratulations to all, and I wish them every success (because they deserve it!)

Found this little fellow in the backyard.. thought it was making a LOT of noise, till I discovered he/she wasn’t alone – we have THREE new baby carrawongs; well done Mr and Mrs Wong!

And never very far away, one or the other of the parents; funny things, they bomb me if they think I am getting too close to the babies!
