The West Australian Christmas Tree near my work has been flowering for some time now. You don't see that many of these trees in suburbia. This is quite a small one, but I love seeing the yellow flowers against the blue sky when I walk back to work after my lunchtime shopping. It always reminds me of holidays by the beach.

Everywhere you look, there are jacaranda trees in bloom. The flowers fall and leave gorgeous carpets of purple - the photo just doesn't do this one justice. I was very disappointed when my neighbours re-did their backyard and had a jacaranda removed. It used to look very pretty from my kitchen doors!

And of course, agapanthus is flowering happily away everywhere. I do love the humble aggie.
I haven't done any Christmas shopping yet except send away for one book online. I gave up being organised about Christmas years ago - it seems to make the year go so quickly if you're buying Christmas presents in September. I suppose that I must start giving the whole thing some serious thought soon.
I watched Paul Keating being interviewed on Lateline on Wednesday night. How delightfully refreshing to see a politician (former in his case, I know) answering questions so intelligently and authoritatively. He even stops and thinks about his answers before speaking - something you don't see much anymore. Come back Paul - we miss you!
