It's almost Summer

Well, I can't even begin to cover all that has happened in the past few weeks. I am loving the fact my tomatoes are growing and I think I have won the latest in the battle with the aphids. The tarragon is looking very healthy and so is the dill, coriander and the leeks!

We have had numerous hot spells interspersed with cooler and humid days. I certainly hope that my plants will continue to thrive!

I am (still) reading "The Housekeeper and the Professor", a great novel that I have had to put down (reluctantly) in order to edit report comments, prepare for compliance, hsc marking etc etc etc. I hope to finish it today.

The other thing I have to do today is housework. Well, I'd best get to it.

Enjoy your weekend!

Authority

Good to see Malcolm take the reigns of the party. Press Conference is a success. I hope that the reported "spill" doesn't eventuate into anything other than a few over zealous pollies blowing off steam. Will be very annoyed if we are catapaulted into political siberia!!!

November

Wow, I know this isn't much of a revelation, but it is the first of November! I cannot believe how quickly the year has passed. At present I am enjoying the last of the sunlight. Went for a one hour run today, a one hour weights session and one hour of yoga, to compensate for all of the inactivity of sitting and marking papers in the coming week. Don't know if it works that way though!

Am still reading The Housekeeper and the Professor. It is going to take me a little while to finish as I had to put it aside to do some other work related reading.

Plants are growing and am really enjoying the verandah.

Tonight I am going to do some Christmas planning!
