A
trip to Rosewood
30.3.09 - I missed Bill's call as I was picking up
Chris on Sunday morning, but he rang back later to invite me
and Chris up to Rosewood - Rosemary and Bill's home in Strathewen.
It was quite a trip out there, and my heart dropped when we
left the unscathed countryside and entered what most resembled
a WWl battlefield. There were some people out and about, fossicking
round burnt out buildings and mending fences, and there were
enormous piles of burnt logs in the paddocks, but there was
only one other building standing on the way to Rosewood, which
looked like some sort of oasis with Rosemary's new plantings
taking hold, surrounded by utter devastation. You're a bloody
hero, Bill! |

Who is that masked man on the chopper? 2) It's none other than
biking Billy Dettmer |
Dettmer
visitation
19.3.09 - I remembered that Bill Dettmer
said he was coming round today, but I couldn't remember what
for. It turned out he was picking up a copy of A Strange
Fantastic Dream for a buddy, so no dramas, and it was good
to have a bit of a natter over a cup of tea, before he leapt
aboard his chopper and headed back to the Peninsula. |

The
week
7.3.09 - I was just outside
doing some very targeted mowing - just a tiny unnaturally green
and healthy looking strip of grass along the fenceline, which
is due to the neighbours, probably quite legally, regularly
watering the garden on their side of the fence. It was ruining
the desert-like aesthetic of my back yard. I had to severely
cut back the budlea the other day it was looking so tragic.
I hope it makes a comeback because it's one of my favourite
fragranced trees. Or is it a bush?
Anyway, that's the sum total of my gardening for the moment.
I went along to support Chris at his dental appointment on Thursday.
(pic) Dr Punshon does a great job with Chris, who is naturally
pretty defensive about having his mouth invaded at the best
of times. I've decided that he should be checked every three
months, as the welfare of his remaining teeth is pretty crucial
- I don't think he could cope with dentures. |
