Hi Deb
The figure skating is lovely to watch....... so graceful! I remember going to see Torville and Dean when they were in Sydney many moons ago.
Talking of moons, looks like the wonderful west will be in the box seat to watch the eclipse tonight. Weather forecast is good and looks like we will have a cloudless sky.
The chart in the link here gives all the times for viewing right around the country.
Have a good day friends 
I bet J's phone is howling Deb 
Had forgotten about the impact of full moon on some ........ reading around the traps the past day or two should have reminded me 
Growing up, we used to have a neighbour who, regularly, was strangely affected by the full moon - an older lady, she used to dress all in white, wander up and down her front pathway thinking she was the Virgin Mary and saying she was rewriting the bible. Glad we did not live in the 'social/antisocial' media age then 
A huge butterball in the sky!
That is what it looked like to us
Perfect conditions for gazing skyward tonight.
Hope the skies were clear for you t'othersiders

there are certainly some odd balls around Laney 
luckliy for us the cloud cover cleared and we had a great view of the moon...it was quite mesmerizing
Morning Deb and ~~~~ to Friends also
Being a tennis tragic I have been watching the Davis Cup round against Germany. The 'Demon' played magnificently and almost took out Sasha Zverev ..... was a fabulous match to watch. We have much to look forward to in the future with Alex de Minaur in our camp!
Nick's match win looked effortless although he says not. More to come today .... what a great summer of tennis it has been/is.
The humidity here the past couple of days has been 'typically February' - I forget every year how awful it is. Still, with airconditioning it is at least comfortable.
Enjoy your weekend folks. Look forward to hearing a progress report from Freddie 
Wellllllllllllllllllllllllll ....................
Not quite the hoped for result but it was a pleasant change to watch matches without the all too frequent sound effects!
That will not be the case for the FED Cup next weekend 
Winter Olympics commence on Friday .... the opening ceremony is going to be ummmmmm 'interesting' with North Korea now participating.
Well that is the latest from this sports reporter ........... we will now return you to the usual programming and might actually get some things done around the place this coming week

Hi Laney.. we have a cricket tragic in our household... most nights the cricket took precedence over the tennis....
I've seen soooo much cricket over the past couple of weeks 
I'd better not mention the weather...
or going for walks 
it upsets some people too much
