SHE
SAID:
My
'exciting" new umbrella arrived this morning, all the way from England
!
An
umbrella...exciting...well yes, actually!
It
is called a Kazbrella, & this clever guy has re-invented it! It
opens upside down... so you can open it up through a partially opened door, and close it down without getting water everywhere. It's very
clever, but not cheap! I now have to wait for the rain!
Geoff
& I met up with John & Reggie at the Little Garran cafe, owned
by Reggie. Both these guys are ex- Aussie Rules team-mates from the
Kingston Wolves days. We had a lovely brunch & there was plenty
of catching up done.
Bluebell - not an Orchid! |
Dozens of Thin-clubbed Mantis or Green-combed Spider Orchids
(Caladenia atrovespa)
|
Gnome Track - one of the entrances to Farrer Ridge |
Plenty of flowers still blooming around Farrer |
A new to me Donkey Orchid - Diuris semilunulata
(Late Leopard Orchid)
|
My new Kazbrella! |
Varena had been waiting months to get her hands on the Kazbrella. I think it was crowd-funded, and Varena thought it looked sensible, so ordered one. We'll have to wait to see how good it actually is.
Our brunch at Garran was a solid 2 hour chat-fest. It was an enjoyable outing, and the food and coffee were good.
