A perfect winter's day



Who could complain about this view from my living room!  I absolutely adore sitting here listening to music and gazing out the window.  Right now I've got a cup of hot lemon juice, ginger and honey as I've had a cold for the past few days and am not very energetic.  It's 18 degrees inside. Muffy is sunning herself on the deck, listening to the kookaburras.  The family have gone for a picnic beside the harbour.

I was thrilled the other day to get an email from Bianka in Germany.  (She's the young lass who came to Australia five years ago, as soon as she finished high school.)  She had to contact me through Facebook as my old email address no longer functions.  Her life is wonderfully interesting.

Some time back I mentioned Coursera, an online provider of courses.  My first one, 'A Brief History of Humankind', starts today.  Am really looking forward to it.  It comes out of a university in Israel.  Isn't it amazing!!!
