I think Sydney's jacarandas get better and better every year. I got this photo from the internet, but could just as easily have taken it myself, as this is what it looks like all round here. This morning I took Emma to my favourite French patisserie for breakfast and now she's at a birthday party and I've been sitting by the pool reading the papers. She's decided she wants to learn French, so we have a short lesson once a week and I've suggested she Skype her French grandfather (in LA) frequently, to keep her motivated.
I've just cooked some risoni, a new type of pasta - well, new for me - which I'll make into a salad and have with lamb cutlets for lunch. Then I'll do my Christmas cards, play the piano and read some of P D James's last novel, 'The Private Patient', since she died last week and I'd never read any of her books. So far, I'm really enjoying it. Will have a swim later in the afternoon.
The weather today is quite pleasant, though who knows what's ahead this summer. I think I'll be staying inside a lot, where it's always about 10 degrees cooler than upstairs.
Winifred, I like the sound of that double expresso and some chocci biscuits!!!! (You should have seen what I had at the patisserie this morning! I'm depending on you, Frank, to peddle the extra fat off for me on your exercise bike!) But who cares what I look like!

Lovely picture - there is no doubt I am jealous of you having a quick swim in your pool. It was 1 degree
above freezing this morning - have to admit it was lovely when the sun came out.I too am beginning to look into my Christmas Card box and feel sad that there are at least 4 friends and a sister in law I have lost this year but just at can't take them off of the list just yet. xx
