Plants in the "Jamie Drury pot"

At the orchid show I attended a couple of weeks ago, I bought a selection of succulents. I was intrigued by the 'flap jacks", I think they look more like big tongues

Terrigal Drive during after work peak hour

I was surprised when I left work today that I had left and it wasn't dark yet. I decided to take a snap of the bumper to bumper traffic. When I looked at the photo later I had managed to inadvertently capture vision in my side mirror...which was kinder cool I thought

I was inspired by the Librarian and the Kitchen blog to blog a recipe. I usually enjoy cooking, but really need to be in the mood. My daughter is a waitress & barista (and a uni student) and last week I enjoyed a creamy pumpkin, chicken dish with linguine & freshly made pesto at the restaurant where she works.

I love the sound of my own voice. Perhaps that's why I'm so taken with Twitter. I'm a relatively late convert to Twitter but I'm earlier than everyone whose faces go blank when I mention it. Or those who look pained and reply with an irritated: "Oh, what is Twitter, anyway?"
