Steaming happily through life...


Winifred, I loved the train power point thingo you sent me.  Wonderful shots with pertinent philosophical sayings accompanying each one.  I'm over the moon that I actually managed to get one of the photos in here.  (Yes, Michael, in spite of your wonderfully clear instructions, I amaze myself every time I get it to work!  My biggest problem, it appears, is retrieving the folder where I file the particular photo.  It's not as straightforward as it should be, because sometimes the files simply refuse to be found.  This one took a bit of doing, but I found it in the end.)


Our weather continues to be mighty peculiar.  The other day Emma invited her little next door neighbour to come in for a swim in the afternoon, and was very unhappy when a gale blew up and made it too dangerous, and anyway, the pool rapidly filled with bark blown from the trees.  I just noticed this huge amount of bark is turning the water brown, as we still haven't fished it out.


I've been watching the tennis over the past couple of weeks and on Monday the Australian Open begins, so I'll no doubt be glued to the telly again.

Oh you clever thing. It was a lovely
group of pictures wasn't it? Some people are astounding in their talents. Sorry about the pool, when we were lucky enough to have one I was always shocked when it was 'out of order' for any length of time.
Our weather is as to be expected mid-January; it was minus 1 this morning and has struggled up to 2 degrees this afternoon. xx
