I missed it, I thought, although it's odd that I didn't hear any mention of it during the week. Subsequent investigation revealed that it's next weekend. So that's good.
In lieu of that, I spent this afternoon helping my mother fill in the forms she needs to complete for Centrelink (social security) now that she's a retiree. Centrelink's form says things like if she has an 'income stream product' she needs to fill in form SA330, Declaration of an Income Stream Product, but doesn't really make clear what an income stream product is. My mother files every piece of paper related to her finances, including empty envelopes. Between those two things, it took some time.
Also, I've lost my kitchen scissors. They never go anywhere other than between the top kitchen drawer and the sink, so they can't be far away.
The week marked the start of spring and the garden is full of colour, so that made this week's photos easy. Two-thirds of the way through!
Day 240. Sweet pea knots, Day 241. Grape hyacinths, Day 242. Waratah bud, Day 243. Poppy and nasturtiums, Day 244. Hellebores, Day 245. Pansies, Day 246. Ranunculus, Day 244a. Daisies on the lawn, Day 244b. Today this is a daisy, Day 244c. Pale daffodil, Day 244d. Daffodil, Day 246a. Ranunculi and daffodils, Day 246b. Cyclamen, Day 246c. Viola, Day 246d. Carnation
I think grape hyacinths might be my most favourite flower ever. So delightful. So cute. So grape-y.
