A day close to home


Thank goodness we're at last getting a bit of sun and even the occasional warm day!  We're all heartily sick and tired of cold and grey.  I for one have been hibernating - going to bed with the chooks and listening online to BBC radio 4 or 4 extra.  Now that is a wonderful discovery for me!!!!  Frank and Winifred, do you listen to these stations?  In the early hours of this morning I was laughing myself silly at one of the comedy shows.

I plan to tidy up today, and maybe have a walk round the neighbourhood.  This magnolia tree is just down the road.  The whole area is full of such beautiful blooms and the jacarandas are turning yellow, ready to lose their leaves.

I have to tell you I'm at last making progress with the piano, and there's a teeny weeny glimmer of understanding with my Japanese.  This is a big relief, as I'd just about given up hope.

Love the picture of the Magnolia.
I actually like the radio very much, the set in our kitchen is tuned into radio 4 all the time and of course radio 5 Sports extra when the cricket is on. When I was out at 'work' on night duty I was allowed off the floor at midnight for an hour and I would listen to late night radio whilst eating my supper but now I read late into the night.
I am surprised though at you being able to tune into UK radio I would have thought you would prefer to listen to an Oz accent. xx
