Big Catch up….

I can’t believe that it has been so long since I posted. I am still taking photos every day. There are days where it is a quick shot but anyway… Here are last weeks photos.

I spent Sunday cooking for the week. This is the start of a date/lemon slice that I make.

 

Some welcome rain.

 

 

 

Here are 2 photos of DD1 who turned 17 this week.

 

 

 

And another 2 of beans in our garden:

 

 

 

I went to the fruit market this morning and found beetroot was $3 for as many as you can fit into a bag.

Now this afternoon I have about 3 kg of pickled beetroot in the fridge, beetroot in the oven roasting with our dinner and the leftover we made into a Turkish dip. This is just before stirring the dip as I am walking around the house asking my 2 teens for a photo backdrop. DD2 suggested the lounge carpet and actually this was perfect as it came from Western Turkmen China. And the dip is very tasty. It contains yoghurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and cummin. Yum!

 

 

 

Enjoy the weekend and Valentines. For us though tomorrow is Chinese New Year and welcoming year of the Tiger.

Eyes improving but brain needs help

I went back to the eye clinic today as it is now one week since surgery. They are very happy with results and my eye is healing well. My problems in focusing are better but still a problem although I can see a computer screen now. It seems that because I had such a dominant right eye before surgery, it will take time for my brain to realise that the left eye is also now working. This sounds reasonable so it is now just perseverance and time.

I am still taking photos so here is the catch-up.

This is my new chopping board. I saw it in our organic store yesterday and fell in love. Each board was a different shape and wood grain. This was definitely the most distinctive. And where better to take the photo than in my vegetable garden. I love the different wood grains.

 

And this is our geriatric Kelpie, Cheetah chasing flies. She really wants to keep everything out of the yard.

 

 

This was a Church but is now a nightclub. It was here that relatives of mine preached in the mid 1800's. So sad.

I have been wanting to take a photo of this church for heritage pages for a long time but today is the first day that I have passed here with my camera.

 

 

Hanging the clothes out on the line and I spotted this butterfly in the lychee tree. So I rushed inside, up the stairs, grabbed the camera and out again not expecting the butterfly to still be there. But it was! Not long enough to play with camera settings but just long enough to take this photo!

 

And finally thanks everyone for your wonderful wishes over the last week. They are really appreciated.
