Time is what stops everything happening at once.

I think I've used this quote before - it really amazes me how life seems to flow steadily and everything doesn't happen at once!

People are coming and going all over the world.  Philip's father (from LA) arrived upstairs on Friday for a fortnight and my sister and niece left on Monday.  They were meant to go to New York, but with the hurricane they might have to stay in LA.  Then they'll go on to London.

A Newcastle friend spent the day with me on Friday while her husband headed for Madrid (having recently got back from Bonn).  These lovely white roses were brought by another Newcastle friend on Saturday:

On Sunday I drove a Sydney friend to Fingal Bay (188 km each way) for our annual delicious curry luncheon.  The hostess, as well as one of the guests, has just got back from UK and other parts.

What GFC? one may well ask.
