 Saturday 6^th May

SHE SAID:

I had a day out randomly driving & stopping at possible orchid spots in the bush. I think all the stops I made had one form or another of the Bunnies. That was all I saw in flower, maybe 4 varieties, but all Bunnies. There were some other signs of things to come, Greenhoods, Red Beaks & Suns.

I took roads I’d not done before on the way south, then a different route back.

PS I did watch a couple of hours of the coronation, a pretty speccy event, though the religious stuff seemed a bit OTT!

Non-orchid sights today.

Coronation of King Charles III

HE SAID:

Five days since I stopped the cream. Today was the first day since I stopped applying the skin treatment cream that I have not taken any pain killers. It is no longer painful, but still is very annoying. The hint about taking antihistamines to stop the itching didn't seem to work, so I stopped taking that after two days.

Luckily for me there were two footy matches on TV today. I am no monarchist, so the only interest from my perspective is the historical aspects of the coronation. After watching the footy in the evening there was still a fair bit of coverage from London. So, I sat with Varena for a while, wondering why they used so much flowery, and repetitive, language to say what could have been said in a quarter of the time. It actually looked like it would have quite an arduous ceremony to get through, for all involved, even the guests.
