Whow, you are getting BOSSY Miss Tina. I did write a message earlier today, but looks like the darn thing didn't go thru! Well, it is very COLD and WET here, but I guess that is okay, because we really need the rain, but by now I would like to see a little sunshine. Because I live in the suburbs,Tina.. only about 5 miles out of Melbourne city we don't have many 'wild critters' around, unless you count my cats and my really fierce goldfish!
There are lots of different birds tho.. Australian native birds, such as magpies, wattlebirds and the gorgeous rainbow lorrikeets, a small parrot, and well named as they have all sorts of colors on them, red, blue, purple, green, yellow. We also have birds like doves, sparrows, crows, and in the summer I've sometimes seen tiny lizards sunbaking on my balcony. That's about it for local wildlife!
Today I went for lunch with my daughter at the Bistro at the college she attends. The bistro is staffed by learning hospitality students. and is really nice, white tablecloths, sparkling glassware etc. And so reasoanbly priced! We both had a potato pancake, topped with salmon, a poached egg and hollandaise sauce, for only $7 each.Now tonight I've just got home from our monthly writers meeting.
Hugs,
Ellie.

How I would like to see the colorful birds you have.Rainbow lorrikeets sound like they would be a joy to watch.Even tiny lizards would be fun.Nature amazes me.
Your meal sounds wonderful.They do the same thing"reasonable priced meals" at our local college in Bridgewater..15 minute drive from here.
Belonging to a monthly or any writers group must be so interesting.As I age I make so many spelling mistakes that they would have a hoot with me_lol
This week-end I have My 8 yr old granddaughter,her golden retreiver Scoobie Doo and her pet hedgehog Scruffy all staying with me while her parents go on a bike trip.They have Harleys..the bikes that are known as hogs-lol
Remember I have 3 dogs and 3 budgies and 4 love birds so this place will once again seem like a zoo for a few days.

Hi Ellie,

It was good to read about your weather and to hear the description of the beautiful Australian birds. I know of a couple of my neighbors who are birdwatchers and they belong to an organization that is active in observing the birds.

What a good deal on lunch and most important to share it with a loved one. My daughter and I often go out for lunch on her days off from work in between our shopping adventures. She works flex time (extra hours) and then gets every other Monday off. It's great for her as it allows her time to catch up on things.

My youngest sister, Shirley is a writer and I am the opposite, I really do not like to write and if I ask her to review something important, she always changes it. I really don't mind her suggestions as I value her opinion. She is a great sister and lives within walking distance of my house. She and her husband celebrated their 26th anniversary yesterday and I had them over for supper and we had ice cream cake for dessert.

Hope you have a good weekend. Please stay in touch.

Phyllis
