Its August, its raining, in Iso and alls well!

Hello!

Great to be back, and I do look forward to working my way around and catching up on everyone's news while I've been away from Blogger.

Life here in our little spot in the world hasn't changed much.  We've been keeping busy with home-type activities.  
Have been getting used to the Click n Collect method of grocery shopping... hmmm, that can be fun... yesterday I clicked on 4 different kinds of items under the "desserts" category, lol, today I feel not quite so tempted so shall un-click on a couple... oh that Custard Danish is definitely staying though 😉

We've been having some very welcome rain of late and the garden is lapping it up.  One of my favourite things to do is to look down at the fishpond through our loungeroom window... seeing the raindrops on the water and the fish happily poking around the pond is lovely.  Here's what I mean:

While I'm on the subject of the pond.  Here's a few more I've taken over the years:

A cute little Skink, likes to visit the pond occasionally.

Skinks nest in the tops of pot plants where there's leaf litter etc.  We have lots of them around our garden.  I purposely leave old saucers overturned as shelters for them too... they use them, a lot!

Here's a pretty Poppy (cutting from our Son) and Waterlily (cutting from our Daughter) that have grown in the pond, in the warmer weather:

I'd been getting myself in a bit of a "tizz" over the fact that the wearing of masks hadn't been encouraged in our State (Victoria), and yet the infection rates and deaths were rising daily... so I've been that annoying old lady who writes emails and does rants on FB lol! 

Finally, the powers-that-be were suddenly embracing the wearing of masks, in fact they made them mandatory (so many experts had produced solid evidence of their efficacy, side by side social distancing etc, at last our government acknowledged them). 

For those odd occasions we do venture out into the world, we wear our handmade masks. My sewing is a bit crooked, but it does the job... I made them the evenings while watching tv.  Here's some of my efforts:

Can't work out how to add a caption to above image, no matter... Hubby likes the top style and I prefer the two lower styles.

Well, now, I hope everyone's doing ok as we work our way through this wonky year.  We all have family we miss dearly don't we ... just got to take each day as it comes, worrying is time wasted ❤

Bye for now and I'll see you over at yours, Sue xx
