Some light - some shadow.

Hullo all you happy followers ... This about light and shade -

Life's like that - the sad and the glad, the light and the shadow. We've experienced that in just a small way. First the very nice part - a visit from the Judy and Phil those hoar-headed and aged Ps (!) who enjoyed a short flight from Sydney, that outer suburb of Melbourne, to see to see even more ancient Ps. Of course we put Phil to work on a highly technical problem. As you can see the metho bottle is handy for some purpose or another.
The small shadow on our lives is the temporary closure of our Community Centre. The end we are sure will justify the present denial of it as a meeting place and the place of various social gatherings. The Centre is to be upgraded and refreshed and at the same time a few more units are being added to the Village.

Love to you all.

One lizard = ten ducks?


The agedps may have lounging lizards to entertain them, here at Abervale we also have visitors to keep us happy. Mum, Dad wood ducks and eight of their progeny have decided to make Abervale their home. I like them but Ruth and others view them with some disfavour owing to the droppings they leave behind. Someone has suggested nappies but how ...? In the meantime I enjoy the sight of them. Too cold for them where you are Rachael!
