@NatureLover 3.5 hours.
How did you sleep?

3.5 hours is a bit better than your last few nights, I think?
I had a good night thanks...

Its a very warm day here today, almost too warm I think @Lee71 @NatureLover . Meant to get to 28C I think, and at this stage i think its well and truly that already.
So I went for a wander around my garden and noticed that the first of my spring bulbs are flowering. I have pretty yellow freesias flowering. I took my phone out and photographed one for you. Unfortunately when I brought it in and downloaded it to my PC so I could attach it to this post ... its a bit blurry. I couldnt really see what I was photographing because the sun was so bright. 😎🌞 Anyway I will post it here anyway.
Really hoping your appointment is going well Lee. Cannot recall what your appointment was, but maybe they could help guide you through your big decisions which are bothering you lately?

Hey @NatureLover its looking like you will soon be able to extend your current 1-hour walk to 2 hours from mid September. Pretty sure you will be happy to hear that, along with many other Victorians. Not official yet, but looking good.
