Sixpence it is.

Two blogs in two days. What does that mean? Nothing to write about!!!!! Except that ...dah dahhhhh.. the sun is shining!!!!!!! This morning there was not a cloud in the sky, nowhere. Eric thinks it's the first time he has seen the Kaimais cloudless the whole way along. And the sky was so blue, what we always call an African blue sky as I had never seen it that colour before I went to South Africa. This evening the weather has been perfect, still and warm. This is what evenings were like when we first got here. The last 2 years the wind has put paid to many evenings on the deck.

We have finally decided on a name for our dolphin. I emailed the stuff off yesterday and await our certificate. Thank you once again Bridget for an awsome present.

Yesterday was spent sunbathing by the pool. Today was spent... sunbathing by the pool. Actually not for too long really as I had had a big dose of the yellow stuff yesterday. Popped the Mistral into the elctrical people yesterday to get the horn fixed, not that I use it but the WoF (MOT) will. It goes in tomorrow for that.

Carol I have finally planted out the Bird of Paradise plant you gave me. I pulled up the globe artichoke by the back door and have put it in its place. I need it close by so I can be sure to protect it from frost in the winter.

Mom and Daddy the kauri you gave us is also looking very healthy but I don't plan to plant that out for another year at least.

Harriette is acting very strangely. She has spent the afternoon and evening reading in her room (Return of the King - for the 5th time!) emerging only to eat supper and wash up! I put it down to hormones.

Does anyone remember The Ultimate Alphabet? Bloo you won't you're too young! The book with 26 fabulous paintings each one containing hundreds of items starting with the same letter. Alice has just found it and is facinated by it. I always think of Mike, Elly's husband, when I pick this book up. I am not quite sure why, I think maybe he introduced me to it.

Off to bed to continue with my latest Jodi Picoult - Picture Perfect. Gripping in places and slow in others. Night night world.
