Sunday 25th January

I am aware I reach the next day before the UK by nine and half hours.
The humidity is 94% today, a bit difficult to stay awake after a sleepless night.


This is, Tim and Dale's, where I call home for the next few weeks.

The walled garden is in fact quite straight not with a corner!
However, it is quite an expanse of ground, 21/2 acres. Dale is trying to contend with the weeds, which takes some doing in this wet season.

So, Sunday morning was spent with Omar who is four today. We travelled south on the Stuart Highway for about fifteen minutes, past Humpty Doo, Noonamah, the jumping crocodiles and the didgeridee shop. Sadly at this time of the year the shop is closed, I'd really like to take a didgeridoo back to the UK on one of my visits.

Partying with Omar this morning in strong sunshine, the pool had been erected under the gazebo, such a good idea

Omar's grandparents have an amazingly huge garden which they're setting up as Open Garden and tearooms later in the year. 

The remains of a bonfire complete with pans

A few metal items are mounted in the trees with plants trailing through

Trying to capture the expanse of garden, failed, a pretty picture nevertheless

Plants growing over some plastic piping to give shelter from the sunshine

A sewing machine tractor? A great innovation 

An ant made out of propane gas cans, I thought it was Rudolph at first, friend Mali put me right

A beautiful place to behold. We might be calling out here again

The rain storm has been epic this afternoon, and with humidity of 70% it's been hard to do anything but to sit still. A good exercise as we watched a pair of curlews struting about the garden looking for food I guess.

Daisy rode on the little plastic car. which Austin has outgrown, backwards as yet but at 81/2 months was pleased with herself.
