I planted the two smaller ones on the left thiry years ago
Still being very much a tropical bird, I don't like the autumn mornings at "Riverbend", but I must admit that once the sun is out, there's simply no other place like "Riverbend". It's pretty hard to tear myself away, but with Padma meeting another Indonesian girl for coffee and I having to do some serious hardware shopping for the verandah project, we are off to town this morning.
One last look in the rear vision mirror and we're round the corner and heading for "the real world". First stop will be the warmwater pool to thaw out those old bones; then I get dropped off at the shops; and Padma, with a bit of luck, will talk long enough with her Indonesian friend to leave me in peace to read my books for the rest of the week.
While in the Bay, I will pop into my favourite op-shop to check out their book section. If I do find anything above the usual dross — Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus" would be nice — I'll let you know in my next post.
