Flecker Botanic Gardens

Sunday, 11th August





















At the risk of sounding boring, Saturday was another beautiful day – the only word to describe the weather, lately. Himself had a momentous and thought provoking start to the day. He actually thought for a short while and then washed the car! Following a quiet morning catching up on the housework and some reading, we headed into the esplanade for a walk after lunch. We parked opposite the hospital and discovered the paths alongside the park were blocked off as the medivac helicopter was about to take off. Very exciting. The new thongs which I thought had been suitably broken in, only allowed me to walk about 500 metres before creating a blister between the toes. Of course, it would have been rude to sit at a table while applying bandaids and not order an ice cream!!!


Sunday morning started off a little cloudy, but the temperature remained high. We made our weekly trek to Rusty’s Market for our supply of avocadoes and fresh produce, with a stop at the supermarket on the way home. After lunch, we headed to the Botanic Gardens for a walk – very humid under the trees, but generally shady. Many of the flowers were different to our last visit, and the gingers were just starting to bud and flower. There were a lot of tourists about today with their cameras, but I don’t think any of us were quick enough to capture the Ulysses butterflies.
