A day in a few parts - pack up for the return to Sydney

alt

A different view of Coolangatta Mountain on the way to the bins. The climber with the orange flowers reminds me of the I grew up in all those years ago. It is a golden delicious - we had one growing in our front patio - year after year

alt

Budding dendrobium speciosum - Sydney rock orchid - a few doors up. Photo is a fix - because of the sloping panels behind the cropping tool will not create an equal aoded frame. It tries to line up the panels - some young IT jock knows better what a user might want

alt

Next plant doen has flowers identified. No trouble cripping this one as the panels are somewhat in a straight line behind

Next part of the return trip was rhe drive up to Moorebank to visit my wife's disabled brother in his new home. He has been moved into a new place which will be shared with a few other blokes in care. He has not been happy with the move. Nice house. New carers seem really good. Important time to get him settled

Spent an hour and then headed back to Sydney. Unpacked and then went for a walk to get the steps up. Signs of spring walk

alt

Friesias coming up in a lawn

alt

More signs of spring

alt

Walked down to the orchid house down the hill - fab cymbidium in flower - a bit moth eaten

alt

Side on view of the next flower along - in better shape

alt

More signs of spring - flower arrives before the leaves

Steps done - finished unpacking

alt

Did cook dinner - Wiener Schnitzel with chips and veges. Worked well. Prefer chicken

End of a good weekend. It is so good to get away from the noise of the lady who lives above us. Good to be able to jump on a bike and cycle anywhere quickly and safely - then walk for orchids
