Round Table Revisited

[just_me_karen]

And so Lord of the String said unto the peoples, "Go forth anew. Seek a land you can call your own."

The people saw it was good.

So, on the last day the people said their solemn goodbyes and began the long journey to the promised new land.

And so began the new land and its people were joyous!

Welcome, to the Return of the Round Table known as...

"Round Table Revisited" (RTR)

Good morning Stringsters 🙂

Big sleep in this morning 🙂

It is freezing here but bearable.  Isn't it nice to see that LOL cats are welcome all over CS. They give me a giggle 🙂

The cartoons which troll aren't so nice but I guess we can't have perfection.

Have a great day everyone!

Waves to the MIAs......will you please hurry up and come back......my arm is getting sore....whoops....dots!!!

Hi Prim,

it's coolish here as well, but not too bad

Morning everyone 🙂  A special good morning to our latest MIA 😐

I think a trip to Bunnings is in order today.  I've been meaning to go and pick up some things that I've needed for a while and now I can't remember what they were so I will have to think what they could be first.

Otherwise I will just have a look around the garden centre.

Sunday breakie first 😄

Joono, go and stand where you were when you first thought about what you needed and you will remember 🙂  I do that and it always works LOL

We had brunch because we got up so late and that should be enough until dinner time.

I am sitting here watching my neighbour desecrate the Jacaranda tree on the nature strip 😞

Each year he trims it about two thirds to a leafy green ball shape. I am sure he thinks he is doing a great job because it looks tidy however the tree hardly ever flowers because it is always recovering from the harsh trim.

It had finally grown to a good size and I was looking forward to next November but on hearing a sawing sound I looked out the window to see the old codger up a ladder sawing away.

When he is finished I will take a photo. Get your tissues ready 😞

So, here is the tree that, at dawn this morning, was a 30ft dia. green leafy beauty 😞

That's a shame, Prim 😞 I love jacaranda trees. My dad planted one when I was born, so by the time I was big enough to climb, I'd spend a lot of time up there. That reminds me of my friend Mandy who used to wee herself when tickled... and I tickled her as she was shimmying up the trunk above me.., so her jeans copped it, but so did I :^O 

when we moved out of that house, the new owners chopped the jacaranda down.

The Matron of a maternity hospital in Sydney gave every couple a Jacaranda as they took their newborn home. That is why there are so many Jacarandas around Sydney. I wonder if that is where your dad got your tree?

"Note to self: do not tickle the climber above me when I next shimmy up a tree"

Evening everyone, yummy roast lamb, marinated in garlic & lemon juice tonight. Even better 

OH is cooking it for me. What more could I ask.

how was your day shiny, do anything at all?

:^O Deb! 

Prim, I wasn't born in Sydney, but my mother worked in a hospital there before getting married so I suspect that's where she got the idea. I hadn't heard before about the jacaranda gift before 🙂
