PROTEST FOR INDEPENDENCE

We were sitting outside Starbucks when we saw these ladies with their flag. When the lights changed they would rush out into the middle of the road and hold their flag up. On 1st Dec every year around the world people protest for justice supporting freedom of independence for Western Papua which is under unlawful Indonesian governance.

MY SUCCULENT CACTUS COLLECTION

In the corner of my garden I have two nice french looking shelves. I did try to grow little buxus trees but it was too hot so thought it would make an ideal spot for my succulents and cacti as they like the heat.

Peter and I stumbled across a nursery specialising in cacti and succulents and brought these plants. I love the color and the texture of this one.

I didn't think I would like cacti but just lately have grown to like them. This one has a beautiful pattern on it.

Sharon this is the Gardenia we brought with your money to remind us of your visit. Couldn't get a bigger one and haven't potted yet. Thanks sis.

This was the succulent Peter and I liked the most. We brought one for our friend Viv for a xmas present.

MERRY XMAS

Today was decorating the house for xmas day. Jacky I was impressed with your decorations last year and was inspired to do less but with more impact. I was happy with my sideboard. What do you guys think.

On my xmas tree I chose only the decorations that I really loved and mainly in the silver and white theme.

I decided to bring my madonnas downstairs and add to the xmas theme.

My little angel on this tree is from Harrods, one of the few things I could afford.

MAGIC MUSHROOMS

I looked in my garden today and hidden under my green veges was this lovely grey mushroom with long white stems. It was quite hard to photograph as there was a lot of plants around.
