Never mind, it will soon be over.
A typical Sunday morning, the laundry lady and banal chatter descend and wreck the normally tranquil setting of what I call home.
I’ll need to make more coffee to overcome the trauma.
Lovely day yesterday, until it started to rain. Lots and lots of rain, it ws a real storm. Only lasted about two hours, then rained normally all night. My passion fruit vines had lots of flowers, ten in fact, but because of the rain there were no bees. But I did get a small video of one in the initial stages of opening.
Not very exciting, hardly an action movie. I would have filmed more, but my arms got tired…
However, here’s a shot of the half open flower next to it.
And the next flower…
Fatal error at the botequim. The beer delivery was a day late and he ran out of cold beer… So the bar wasn’t its usually busy self. I ended up relaying bottles to my freezer, so I had beer. My freezer takes a bout a half hour to chill two bottles, whereas the big coolers in the bar require more than eight hours to chill a fridge full.
The pope has disappointed me. He refused to meet the Dalai Lama because of sensibilities with China. Kow towing to China is only giving the bastards strength. He rally missed a chance to show them that they can’t rule the world.
Silly Box: The Canadian Navy has banned booze from their ships.
Very cool day today, totally overcast. I have posted on all but one blog so the morning has been productive. Once I tune out the banal banter, I can get things done.
The rest of the day is another do-nothing day, at least the beer will be cold.
Oh, the sun is trying to burst through the clouds…
Later.
Love these shots! Have never seen a passion flower, so thanks for posting.

Isn’t that beautiful! (the flower)
I like the Pope, he must have his reasons with China.
The Canadian sailors made a bit of scene (drunken sailors or the like) so they think they can prevent it from happening again. Ha ha, who are they kidding?

>Leslie, they are beautiful. Apparently he didn’t want to rock the boat for Chinese Catholics, there are a few of them.

In Beijing there is a Catholic Church right in the main downtown part of the city. We used to walk by it on our way to the Forbidden City.

I clicked forward a few times on your video, and that made the opening quite dramatic!
Do you have to be in the house when the chatterbox arrives??

>Yvonne, I hadn’t thought of that. Yes, there’s a trust issue… small things have gone missing, and there is a need to make sure that things are done. It’s eaier to switch off and post.

That is disappointing about the Pope. I thought he was above all that – even though I think Catholicism is idiotic.

>But, I thought so too, but there must have been political pressure/threats from China.
