It's been so hot here - not even officially summer yet, and we've had several days in the high thirties. Yesterday it was very cloudy and it drizzled a little. We've been promised a storm today - it looks hopeful so far.
Other news :
Kati is flying home from Melbourne right now, having purchased 29 dresses!
Maddie is working hard on her thesis, looking forward to a trip to New York in January. (I can't believe she gets to see it before I do - I have wanted to go there for so long!)
I went with my sister Annette to see the Peggy Guggenheim exhibition at the Art Gallery. One of the high points was hearing a teacher explaining a Jackson Pollock to a group of kids who I swear were pre-schoolers - "...now this is abstract expressionism, children!"
There's lots happening in the garden - I'm still enjoying the roses.

We have something of a glut of peas at the moment. Some I planted, others came up by themselves from the pea-straw I used to make the garden beds. The tomatoes are also looking promising.
We're off now to see one of my all-time favourite movies - The Maltese Falcon. As it should be seen - in a cinema, on film, with all the crackly bits. Aaah, Humphrey!
