Did you see the sunset this evening? I did and it was spectacular, there was so much colour in the sky that I could not fit it into one photo, so here are two panoramas.
This is five photos stitched together.

More Ripples

I have been plodding away doing a little bit of crochet now and again. I was delighted to see wool for sale in the supermarket today, I didn't think I would be able to buy any here, I bought one ball of purple and one of mauve, they had some other nice colours, I might just get two balls at a time in preparation for my next project.

Rippling on

I have been doing a little bit of ripple crochet each day, it is growing very slowly.


I was at work at Lifeline today, a lot of people came in with donations, more than any day I have been there before, I think they must all be cleaning up after Christmas.

When Richard cleared the blocked drain at the weekend he hurt his back and has been walking around with a twist in his body. He seems OK again today but is taking things easy, watching TV and reading.

Rippling

I did a bit more crocheting today, I am not very excited about the colours, but I am using up some wool I have, I think I will just make this into a cushion cover and then buy some wool in a colour scheme I decide on.

Dusk view

We went for a ride on our bikes this evening, I wanted to go to the bird hide at Kakadu Beach, there were not as many birds there as there was this morning. The view towards the Glasshouse Mountains was as beautiful as ever with the pink glow in the evening sky.

Kakadu Beach

I rode my bike to Kakadu Beach this morning, there were lots of birds on the beach and some Galahs in the park and a pleasant view of the Glasshouse Mountains. I had my camera with the Zoom lens so got a few shots.

Stormwater problems

Yesterday Richard decided to investigate why the stormwater was still leaking. He found that the drains were full of tree roots. It took all day to dig up the pipes, remove the roots and relay and fill in the trenches, a very tiring and hot job.
