flashback fridays



Contrary to today's theme for Flashing Back, I did not have a kangaroo as a pet. This photo was taken around 1971 at Healesville Sanctuary. I particularly love my knicker-skimming dress. This makes me think of My Poppet's gorgeous little bloomers. I know my Mum made me some to match a couple of my dresses, but they would've looked a treat with this one.
Neither did I have a little parroty friend. But I did meet this friendly boid at Mornington Pier.

I'm very happy to see my teeny vegie patch well-soaked after a great rainy night. I hope my broad beans start to bulk up a bit, I'm dying to try them. Now I can't believe how blue the sky is. I felt sure it would pour all day.
I'm off to visit Miss Cintia, then maybe a trip to Mikes as well.
What I really need to do is apply my powers of creativity to my lampshade dilemma. Bit tricky to fully focus during the school hols, but I'm down one squid & the other is a bit low in energy today, ready for a telly day in pj's.
Have a Fab Friday everyone!

The lampshade dilemma will resolve itself at about 3am the night before their needed. Funny how creativity works that way!

Oh how I would love to say perhaps I will go to Meet Me at Mikes,that shop sounds so wonderful.But it would be a very loooooong trip for me to be on.Holland is just too far away for a visit to Mikes.But who knows perhaps in the future..
Happy friday!

Yes, you need those broad beans nice and plump - you can't have skinny broad beans!

I think you have confused lots of OS readers of your blog as I'm sure they think you really do have a kangaroo for a pet. Would be cool though wouldn't it.

Ah the obligatory Healesville Sanctuary photo shot!!
Is there a person in Melbourne that hasn't made the seemingly endless trip along Maroondah Hwy to pose with a kangaroo??
