Friday Fragments



So sorry to hear of horrific news on the TV, in London, and in Oklahoma, thoughts with anyone affected in any way.  All the best for those who commemorate Memorial Day in your country. (Ours are ANZAC Day 25th April and Remembrance Day 11th November in Australia.)
 
Rain Again
After many dry years, it is always a surprise that we get so much rain these days. Nights cooler too, around 6C.

Gutters not Music
We usually play music with our friend on Monday mornings, this week DH cleaned out her gutters for her, and we came home with bags of beautiful compost, as she has some pine trees at the front .
Concert
Tuesday was our last concert for the month, and when we are in Lismore that always includes stocking up at the Bulk Food Store.  Beautiful honey that hasn't been heated and lots of organic items.

Community Garden
Wednesday lunchtime at the Garden, and catching up as they have a new worker who will be putting in a lot of time there, and progress is being made.

Thursday and Friday
It is our annual festival here, Beef Week, so we took in a few of the activities, the craft show and decorated windows, and coffee at the local club.

Joining in at Friday Fragments hosted by Mrs 4444 to post a few thoughts.

Blessings, Jan

When you mentioned London I had no idea what was going on. Oh my Lord that is horrific.

Have a nice weekend and be careful on that ladder!

I feel so sad about all the tragedy's happening all over the world.
What is 'beef week'?

Stacy Uncorked said...

The news sure has had a lot of heartbreak lately, hasn't it?

How sweet of your DH to clean those gutters!

I'm with Tami - what is "Beef Week"? Inquiring minds want to know... ;)

Yes, so much bad news.
Beef Week is our town's annual Festival, and today is the main day, and looks like a fine day. There will be beef cattle from producers in the area tethered all down the main street, and many other activities, and a parade this afternoon. I'll have photos soon.

It's amazing how our world hurts. A boy in a high school an hour south of us had a bomb that he wanted to use to blow up the school with. He was apprehended at home! North of us in Washington state, an oversized truck hit a bridge girder, since truck was too tall. One section of the bridge fell behind as he after he went over it. Nobody was killed, 2 cars in river. But everyone ok. Good to hear you are busy, so are we. Celebrated our granddaughter's 5th birthday today. Fun!
