Heading into 2021..


 I'm sad to say that after a lovely long visit my Sydney family have now flown home. It was a miracle that they made it into WA by a matter of hours before the border closed to NSW. We were so happy as we hadn't seen them, apart from Skyping, since last Christmas. The bathroom renovation was finished just in the nick of time.. five adults, two children and one bathroom could be twicky :) The weather was wickedly hot, so much time was spent in the pool. We did take the grandchildren in to explore the new WA Museum Boola Bardip which they enjoyed a lot, each time they come to Perth there is so much more to explore. I did attempt to put up a post last night but my computer fought me all the way plus Picasa seems to have made changes also and to be honest I didn't have the energy to fight it, am I the only person who likes technical things not to change, why 'fix' something it it isn't broke right! Anyway I'm on to it now and normal activities will resume :) Looking forward to catching up and seeing what you have been up to while away.. happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe 💙

  2. Oh Grace I know how empty the house feels when this precious grandkids are gone. You have been missed. If you feel a chilly breeze it’s me blowing some cool air your way!

  3. Welcome back, Grace!

    I quit Picasa decades ago because of one of their improvements that really fouled their platform. GIMP and Darktable are both as good or better than any of the high priced pay-for packages and most of the free ones.
