Time for a quiet day. Made breakfast for our guest. My wife said "how about fish and chips for lunch?" Good idea - so off to shops we went. Rain had stopped

alt

Walked across the forecourt between the two mall building. A fab display of winter succulents outside one of the cafes

alt

Cloud clearing above the clock and fountain. Not often can one get a photo with only one person in the shot

Got the shopping done - was busy - rainy days drags people into the malls

alt

Went for a walk around the block late afternoon to get the steps over 5k. Camellia time always

alt

A few shots down the hill - big trees and afternoon light

alt

An angle a bit more into the setting sun - big trees still

alt

Magnolias in front of an old style house - out guest likes magnolias

alt

Back to the big trees and setting sun theme

alt

New theme - raindrops flowers - azalea to start

alt

Pink azaleas

alt

Pink begonias - my mother's favourite though I do not recall pink. Always orange or reddish

alt

Not sure of ID but it did have raindrops. Maybe a jasmine

alt

Chose this walk as there is a house on the corner that has orchids. A few houses above has a cymbidium orchid budding.

alt

And the house at the bottom had one cymbidium flowering close enough to get a photo. Mission accomplished.
alt
Did cook dinner - a pasta Alfredo - cooked with a lot of butter - bacon, mushrooms, onion, spring onion, garlic, a little cream cheese. Used the pasta water for thickening plus some cheating with GF flour
