I'm feeling a bit slow today - actually tired as I had a disturbed sleep due to idiots firing off fireworks in the middle of the night. Couldn't get back to sleep.
However it is a good day.
1. I still have some crab left. My friends and I ate through quite a bit yesterday, but I will savour one big claw later today. I can't get over the size of the crab and its claws in particular. Good to eat outside as one needs a good crack (which often results in a spray of juice and crab shell particles) - so it will be dining outside with a glass of wine tonight.
2. I have been watching some Cattleya orchids coming into flower - each day I check on the buds, as there are several of my pots ready to flower. I only hope they flower before I go to China. Would be a shame to miss the blooms. I had expected this one to be a deep purple as I though all of them were purple, and I was most surprised to see that this one had a pale yellow flower.
3. This time last year I was still in Denham, on the coast of Western Australia. It was a pretty place, and the folk were friendly so I stayed longer than originally planned. It is never long enough. There is so much to see.
