Time to check in...

Well I think it's time for me to check in. First James is still in Sydney with his mum. Her surgery went ok but there will still probably be some follow up chemo. James has been gone all week but comes home in the morning. I have missed him and it will be good to have him back in our home and even better to have someone to sleep next too. Max (the cat) has been trying to keep me company at night but he's just not the same.

Speaking of Max I'm surprised he still likes me at all. He recently got a scratch on one of his eyes from the next door neighbors cat whom he usually gets along with (lovers quarrel). Anyway, we've been giving him oral antibiotics everyday and then we have to put some ointment in his eye. By the time I'm finished shoving stuff down his throat and poking him in the eye he is pretty pissed at me. His eye is getting better but I think it's still a bit cloudy. The vet says it's doing just fine. I'm sure he'll live.

The only other thing still going on is the weather as usual. Winter has one more month to go and it has been pretty mild, but never sell it short as it was just a year ago that we actually had snow at the house. Both the camellia and rhododendron bush are blooming like mad and we also have jonquils and daffodils coming up. Once again I love this place because no matter the weather or time of year we always have something blooming in the backyard.

Well that's about it and that has to be one of the most boring post but it's all that is going on at the moment. I have found as I get older it's little things in life that excite me. So from our garden two pictures of the jonquils. Enjoy...
