October front garden shots

 This is how it looked in 2016.

Below: Pre-obelisks!

Bought 3 obelisks from Bunnings (West Ips)

 At $20 each, I thought they were pretty good value, and will last a long time. I got the idea of these from Desie's garden in Childers (see last 3 photos). Mine have points at the top, rather than being rounded (Desie's), which I quite like.

Desie's Veggie Garden, with obelisk

Bought white geranium and string of beans

 from a lady at Karalee, via Facebook Marketplace.

This was the bush the geranium was struck from, in her front garden - looks strong and healthy. 

I am not planting it out until it grows somewhat bigger - 

Queen's Wreath #3 flowers!

 I am pleased that this QW (Petrea Volubilis) is showing signs of flourishing!

16 October, 2020 - This is the tree just up the road from me. It is completely neglected, as far as I can see, and yet it flowers beautifully! It looked stunning this morning, with the rising sun shining on it.

and this is the same tree up the road, in 2015 - 

31 Oct -  Mine responds rather well to plenty of water (preferably rain water!).

Another change to work

 Well everyday since I got this job, I have hated teaching and being back in the classroom.

So, I have an even further reduced timetable, after parents (or rather spoiled kids) complained about me, for no reason other than they are spoilt children, and the school has a practice of giving in to students. I don't care, less work is great for me. I have become the school's in-house relief teacher. Study Hall supervision works fine for me - all care - no responsibility.

At the end of Term 3, one lady was making a video to promote their coming musical. I said I would appear in it, and here are some shots. I hate them of me (fleshy face, big nose, black top), but they are fascinating too. I almost don't know this person.

A year later, 21 Sept 2021 - I felt so fake in those shots and yet they are also part of myself. The real me felt fine, whilst those at the school were trying to make me feel different or bad. I am so glad to be out of that unhealthy environment. They are not normal at that place.

I have fallen on my feet at another school, and there are no problems. They were just spoilt cliquey kids at WestMac.

Garden effect trying to create

 

Big pigface

 17 - 19 Sept 2020: Grabbed shoots of this from around the neighbourhood - happy to see it flowering! Recent drops of rain have helped, I believe. Such a thrill to see the closed bud open to such a huge pink daisy!
