Possum


Winifred, here's a possum for you.  They are the size of a very big cat.  I'd always imagined your squirrels were this size, too, until my visit to UK, when I discovered they are actually tiny.


I just drove to my favourite coffee shop to have coffee and a pain au chocolat and found a friend there.  It's extraordinary to run into friends in a city the size of Sydney, and this is about the fourth time this has happened with the same friend!  We used to teach together in Newcastle in the seventies and she now lives in Sydney.


We both exclaimed over how lucky we are to live here, as we both love Sydney.  And we both count ourselves as very fortunate to be in good health and able to please ourselves what we do every day (as opposed to years of teaching, which was very stressful).


Now I'll play the piano till HeartMoves at 2:30, then do my food shopping on the way home.

Thanks for the picture I don't remember seeing one before, I was expecting a little thing bujt they look huge, they also look timid, I hope they are as I wouldn't like to come face to face with an aggressive fellow. One of the few positive things about becoming 'elderly' is that you can meet up with a friend and sit
drinking coffee for ever on any morning you choose. I am going to do just that next Tuesday when I meet up with my friend Trudi who has been living on the south coast, near to Brighton for a few years but is now back in Bristol. xx
