The last day of my part in this blog, I had in mind to take a picture of a sunset, but it didn't happen. Here are all the cards (unopened) that I bought with me to Florida and a few gifts....I left the others at home. By coming to the USA I extended my 60th year by 5 hrs. Who were the cards from and what was in the gifts......the last day of my blogging here so .....you will never know!

The six toes of Harry Truman, at Ernest Hemingways' house on Key West.

Key West has chickens on the loose.....the baby chicks and traffic are not a good mixture. This cockeral was having an afternoon nap in a tree.

Key Largo and this is the boat that was used in the Humphrey Bogart film, 'The African Queen', you can hire it out! It didn't look to seaworthy to me!

This is my water bottle at work. I drink way too much tea during the day, so I'm trying to cut back and drink more water. Thing is dunking a rich tea doesn't taste as good without the tea.

How pretty are these daisies, I leaned over our fence and there they were. Hard to get a picture, they wouldn't stay still!

These lightbulbs make our house look 'special' but they really keep the bugs away. They better at how much we paid for them.

Just outside Liverpool Street station, London's ever changing Skyline.....Heron Tower, The Gerkin, not sure (any offers?) and then Tower 42.

Sunday 15 May 2011

I can't remember what the three words were meant to be ( I got a bit behind with this blog. ) It's meant to be something likes wooden things. I collected a whole bowl of massive wooden cones (which again remind me of my childhood for some reason). I would have had more, but my man said I could only have what I could carry... they're actually quite spikey!

Nice Moon tonight. Given up on describing myself!

The carpet at Old Government House in Brisbane. The design has been taken from the original fire place tiles.

Gus wanted to show you his favourite brush (the purple one - a Zoom Groom) and the other fur rake I use. The ball of fur is the daily haul from his coat. I tell him I am saving it so I can knit another cat.
