High tea


Our swimming group had a lovely tea this afternoon for one of our group who is leaving. She is Turkish, and her husband has been transferred to Indonesia. She's a very nice lady, and is very unhappy about having to leave. Their children are in college here on student visas, and will be staying. We had tea, and lots of of goodies to eat - plates of savories and plates of sweets. Yum! The mini-cheesecakes were a hit, too. And John's glad that there were leftovers.

John hasn't had a good day today. We did an awful lot over the weekend, and it took its toll. He went to bed really early tonight. If the weather's nice tomorrow afternoon, he might go for a walk - just to get some endorphins moving.

We're due to get rain on Thursday, but we're hoping the clouds don't come in too early. Remember, there's a lunar eclipse tomorrow night. Check your local listings for times, and hope that your skies are clear.

Today's photo from Glen Afric Preserve, Scotland. The flower looks like what we'd call fireweed here - some variety of phlox.

Thanks for the link, Bill. No time now, but I can't wait to get back and read more. My cousin lives on Lasqueti. Which island are you on?
