End of June
2020

The year is about half-way done.
It is Winter here ... rainy, grey sky, low clouds, chilly.
COVID-19 is impacting all over this World; so negative in every way.

If the World is a ship, then at the moment this is how it is docked ...

Let us have Hope that the second half of 2020 will be better for all mankind.
A time of happiness.

After a freezing cold night here Monday turned into a fine, clear, slightly breezy Winter's Day.
Maybe 20 C. Typical Brisbane Winter.

Drove down to Cleveland Point to get out of the house and back into mainstream life after the Corona Virus Lockdown. Need to reconnect.

Thought

So true, methinks ...

Thought for the Day:

by the late HENRI NOUWEN

In our production-oriented society, being busy, having an occupation, has become one of the main ways, if not the main way, of identifying ourselves. Without an occupation, not just our economic security, but our very identity is endangered.

I drank some Iron Jack beer in the evening.
First time to try this brand.

Wednesday
17th June

I took some photos of my small garden this morning.

Above: My daikon seems to have a lot of leaf but I fear little substance....
Have to wait a while long.

Below: Yesterday I put two Tibouchina Trees into pots.
Purple flowers.
Got them from Sandie and Steve's garden in Maleny on Saturday.

Above: My jalepeno plants are struggling during the chilly Winter months ( pun intended ).
Below: Sam's chili bush seems to be recovering slowly after the leaves were eaten
by our local possums who come to visit every night ... late.

Above: The mango tree is doing well in its sunny position against the wall.
Below: The paw paw tree has fruit however our possums might think
that they have first dibs on them .... I don't think I'll be eating them, then !
