No more soap sales + being copied

I have discontinued soap sales, at least temporarily. I have had a lot of fun over 18 years making soap and meeting so many other interesting people. Thank you everyone .
Maybe I will get back to it again later, but meanwhile I will be making only for personal use and gifting..

Nothing

is happening that is worth recording really

dog had a costly trip to the vet for her paw.
which is now just fine........sort of miracle revival.

it is very very cold........i have even turned on the heat a few times which i dont do much as cold dosnt bother me in this city much

a lot of people i know are off on trips overseas.
is there anyone i know left at home .....i sometimes wonder??

the descandant continues at TAFE on cold winter nights.
has done ok so far. which is good and quite an effort really

havnt done any photos of interest lately.
some lovely spring blossoms are around and i should make an effort to capture them.
i have not made soap for a few weeks but will need to as i have a lot to lay out to grease lifes highway in a few weeks.
it is better that some people dealing with ones health, and who have sharp instruments in their hands....feel kindly toward one.

had a few nice lunches out....one at a great geranium nursery.
all the nurseries in the areas near me seem to have good food attached now days

as the very amusing James Valentine on radio ABC 702 would say........it is a nothing day .
he makes me laugh so much.

the Gruen Transfer has also highly amused me
so slick and clever TV from some very creative minds

off to walk dog yet again
a few of us meet each day as walk our dogs .........personally i am ready to quit walking dog.....but it is not possible. she cant lie on her pink blanket ALL day on my bed.
or can she??? ummmmmmm

today i started hypnotherapy to see if i can motivate my tiny mind to actually get real and loose some weight.
here is hoping it works

in the last year i have moved from this to this

from a ditzy rag doll to a faded rose

i would classify that as improvement.

so much for balance disorders !!!!!

RAAF 707 does last flights over Sydney

A Hercules in silouette as it went over my head on another round of circuits



today i went to the RAAF base at Richmond to see the last of the 707s on its final flights over the Sydney city and basin.
my son and i had actually been on this or another of the fleet about 12-15 years ago when a crew member took us on board one visiting weekend and allowed us to photograph

my poor little camera struggled for these shots as they were from a good distance........but never the less i have pics and they are MINE and i did it .
spent about 5 hours in total watching the 707 do two take offs and landings, a Hercules do circuits and an American plane go out and back........and eating hamburger

anyway ........a beautiful day marred only by the fact i had nothing like the lens of the other people there to capture these pics :-(


this is the USA KC10 that took off and landed





707 on final landing



KC 10 landing


horses watching everyone




two of the 707 take off .....very dirty





707 with its little fighter friend for company to the big city and back.
the fighter came from Williamstown i gather




707 and Eagle friend doing a circuit



one of many many rather distant ciruits the 707 did in the afternoon
