I was hugely amused by the footage on the ABC News, this morning of shoppers taking advantage of a local supermarket being open early - They Had -Toot Paper!!
There won't be any there, now... ha ha... It'll be too late in the day for that...
But it was good to see that life is slowly crawling back to something akin to normal...
I'm waiting for the afternoon rain to arrive.
Of course it's been raining... It's Easter Friday, in Canberra...
Usually the good citizenry would be winding their way down Clyde mountain on their way to their holiday homes, on the coast.
A long and winding road it is, indeed... Hard on the brakes on the way down, in near bumper to bumper traffic, and imaginably, just as hard on the clutch, on the way back up...
But it's a nice drive, if you get a chance to glance at the passing scenery... ha ha...
I'll put in a good word in for Bungendore, too.
It's village sized, but a great place to stop for a smoko before tackling the mountain, ahead.
Or indeed calm one's shattered nerves after surviving the two lane road, there and back, and the overtaker/undertakers who just have to get to the head of the pack at any cost....
I'm sure that double yellow/white lines mean something, somewhere,.. but obviously not there...
It can be a bit of a hairy experience, cresting a hill, only to be faced with a car coming straight towards you, on your side of the road...
It's all a bit too reminiscent of Mad Max, for me, ha ha...
On the growing apples front, maybe putting the seedlings out for a bit of sun, and fresh air, wasn't the best idea - a couple of decent downpours over the last week or two seem to have put paid to that idea...
I reckon the best I can do is pick up, start again, repeat the process, but this time plant the seedlings out, directly in place, and see how how cruelly Nature can thwart my plans, this time, ha ha..
I'm envisaging an early, heavy frost...
She's one of a kind, Nature, a gal with a sense of humour like no other... ha ha...
I hope you're enjoying your extended weekend, so far.
And, as if I need to say it, stay safe, be good...
🙂
