Life is full of surprises...


This photo, from friend Sue who lives right next door to the Gov-Gen's residence on Sydney Harbour, and right opposite the Opera House, is one of my favourites of all time. What a contented possum!  He has very good taste, too, visiting such a lovely garden.

Another surprise was to make a new friend this morning.  A young man of 24 has invited me to lunch tomorrow!  He's fairly new to Sydney, having come from UK on a working holiday, and I'll be delighted to get to know him and maybe get some contacts for him while he's in Sydney.

Makes me feel like an honorary grandmother, and I'm quite flattered.

It makes me think of the German lass, Bianka, who came to me from Germany some years back, when she was just 18.

a date with a young man of 24 - result! He sounds nice and friendly just like an Aussie really so you should enjoy it. Do let us know how it goes. xx

Dear Diane, please, tell more about the feeling of being an honorary grandmother.
This possum has a selective taste!
