~ TODAY ~ at Jan's Place

I am using Peggy's headings, but not posting to the meme. If you wish to see other Journals, please visit Peggy at The Simple Woman's Daybook

And a big vote of appreciation to all my readers who call in here, with a special thanks to those who leave comments and have become friends.

FOR TODAY
Outside my window... just coming on dark, been a pleasant day 25C or 77F
I am thinking... about our online friend who is in Vanouver concerning her brother's transplant. We haven't heard from her yet.
I am thankful for... our safe holiday and trip
From the kitchen... nothing yet, though we had a home-made pizza for lunch.
I am wearing... a cotton blouse and navy 3/4 pants
I am creating... nothing yet
I am going... to stay home mainly this week. It is school holidays here and regular events are in recess.  Strange when most of us are over 60!
I am reading... The Navigator by Morrris West. An Australian author now passed, who usually wrote Christian based novels. I am intrigued by the ancient ways of navigating the Pacific.

I am hoping... that I get a bit more motivated, have not made best use of my time since we got home. Still I have planted some berry plants and done a bit of gardening.
I am hearing... the news on TV
Around the house... a bit to do to.
One of my favorite things... Blueberries, and I hope I have my own in due course.  I have to do something to stop the birds getting them. Mine have green ones on at the moment, looking forward to these, pic from internet.

A few plans for the rest of the week.... we are singing on Friday afternoon. With Green and Gold for the Commonwealth Games.
Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

Received it by email this morning.... my daughter second from left graduating from her (mature age) university course.

Have a blessed week.
Love, Jan

Sometimes I know I can get after myself because I don't always feel up to doing something. Take time to relax a bit if you can.

I love blueberries too! I purchased a flat in the summer and froze them though I have been away for a month and I see there are few left. Congratulations to your daughter for her magnificent achievement.

Congratulations on your daughter's achievement! So nice that you are enjoying your spring. Love the blueberries too - fresh with just a little bit of milk and a hint of sugar! Have a great week-end!
