Bits of this n thats... really random - all over the place!

I want to post, but just can't make up my mind what I should post about!

(here's a cabbage)

Lately, I can't seem to focus on one thing at a time. Keep finding half-done things around the house.

(here's some more cabbages)

Reckon it's because I'm getting all excited about our trip. 

(here's a whole garden bed full of cabbages)

I'd been admiring those ornamental cabbages for a while now, each time we went into town for our shopping. A few have started to go to seed, but I feel that makes them even more attractive.

MD cooked up a treat brekky the other morning - bacon and eggs. Yum, a once-in-a-while treat which we devour with gusto.

It occurred to me that we're both very different in how we go about eating this special treat .....

MD's way, all nice and neat

My way... all chopped up, splathered with Lancashire Relish

... all good either way.
Especially good when followed by a cup of his excellent coffee.

Needless to say, there's no thread or theme for this post.  It's sort of a Lucky Dip type of thing.  Fun though, who knows what will pop up next!

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

I recently made a terrarium out of the goldfish tank, it sits outside on our verandah.  The photograph has picked up the reflection of the verandah flooring and created a nice effect I thought.  The plants are thriving in there.  I keep the glass lids on, so no constant watering required.

Oh yes, see the plant in the black pot in the terrarium photo above? Well, following are some closeup shots I took.  It's a funny shaped little flower isn't it.

A little peek over the fence at our elderly neighbour's most beautiful tree of blossoms.

Last night, while we were outside changing the gas bottles, this is the sight that greeted us under torchlight! Party time for snails and slugs...

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

I got a bit curious the other day, when this helicopter was circling and hovering over our little valley.  So I zoomed in for a better look.   What a job eh - hanging out the door. Bet his Mum makes sure he wears his singlet to work!
(They were checking powerlines).

Oh, that reminded me of another 'blue sky' pic I took a while back. The Hop Bush down in our backyard

and another pretty... the Woolly Bush

... just one more!

Thanks for dropping by. 

I'm off to catch up on my blog visiting now, cheerio!

Curious Cows

We were out for a drive and I saw some cows.

MD knows the signs (of my twitchy camera fingers) by now, so he pulled up.

I remembered back when I had my cows, that a little gentle call of "come on, come on" would always bring them over.

It worked for #23

#33 got a bit spooked ...

... at first, but then she just couldn't resist 

#27 stopped chewing long enough to come and give me the once-over

and Jess was downright friendly

All the rest of them had a bit of a discussion and decided it'd be safe enough to meander over and get their photos taken too.

But, by that time, I saw signs of movement over at the farmhouse and, as I was practically trespassing, and had disturbed the whole mob, thought it was best to get going. 

Good fun!
