A new week and a new day. It is a tough day as it is the morning after my sister-in-law passed away in Johannesburg. It was a heavy heart trudge up the station to get a train to play pickleball.

As is customary for pickleball day is to find photos along the way. New blooms in a pot between the two apartment blocks

Second airing of this tiny rose also in our apartment garden. Flower is maybe the width of a US quarter across

This image caught my fancy. There is a man paid by the council to clean street signs. Drives along - stops - has a lift device that gets him able to access the whole of the sign. And an important sign it is - Children Crossing

alt

A big cluster of lilies flowering - these last a few days more than the Brazilian walking lilies..

alt

One with bugs.

Pickleball was a good antidote for the bad news - 5 players - play a few games and get a one game rest - go again. We were evenly matched and games were all close.

I posted a message from nephew's wife in the day. The messages of support came in from all over the world and from all the slices of life. From family, from primary school, from high school, from univerity, from work experience in South Africa, UK and Australia, from cycling and orchid interests and especially from friends. Thanks so much.

Did cook dinner - a simple BBQ. Did stay up late for US markets to open. Keeping moving and busy to calm a sad body. 4 people gone with 2 before time is hard to take

Funeral tomorrow for one friend - photos tomorrow
