Sort of sunny

Today’s forecast started out as a high of 13C with possible showers.  The showers didn’t eventuate and whilst driving the car’s thermometer showed 15C outside. Tonight it will drop down to 5C.

We had a fun morning changing the furniture around in the living room, which we completed this afternoon after a quick lunch with my daughter followed by finishing off delivery of the Meadowbank brochures.  Another job done!  With a few simple changes we’ve opened up the living room, making it look and feel much more spacious.  Wonderful!

There was a new piece of art at LaLa Café where we had lunch, so that features in the blip, as does a beautiful magnolia tree and a rather interesting succulent.
