Spring isn't far.

The orchid in our yard is about to flower, it's an early starter but brings a pleasant sign that spring is nearly upon us.
I think it's a Dendrobium of some type or other, oddly to me it isn't a pleasant flower to look at yet makes for a lovely photo.

Clever bathrobe.

I saw this online and just had to order one as it was cute and may also be quite nice for Olivia.
The three arm holes seem to be the key to its cleverness, plus it's even a handy towel.

I like pretty colours.

The Italian festival is almost upon us again, I'm happy to see our youth given a chance to add a bit of colour to it.

The Ingham clock has stopped.

But at least total failure still results in having the right time twice a day.
It wasn't a fluke managing to get a coloured car in this shot, I'd seen it coming so captured it, it's now so rare to see cars in any colour other than bland we have to almost search for them.

These were good.

Whatever these little baked creations that Olivia made the other day were I sure hope she makes some more soon.

A good catch.

Our old microwave oven expired today in a shower of sparks and other bad mojo, but happily a trip up town to Reitano's 2nd hand shop found this little gem, one of the good ones with twist knobs instead of whizz bang programming buttons that we (and I suspect nearly everybody) have no use for). Even better was only having to shell out $20 for it, win-win, no doubt Olivia will soon give it a go over with a cleaning rag.
Olivia was most remorseful until this find, myself on the other hand now have an excuse to recycle the old unit's transformer into a spot welder.

Superb.

Olivia baked a cake.
