New designs and new veggies to try


Very low key weekend... we are both still recovering from the post nasal drips...etc... yet went to the market and had a good sale day...

Hard to get up in the dark though !!

I've moved into a whole new design burst... and it's about time...as I was starting to feel repetitive... Here's one example of a pair I became fond of.


Bruce ventured out to buy our veggies at the market and got to talking to some friends who were selling their organic...jams, beans...purple spinach...and these..
Jerusalem Artichokes.. rooty crop...

Bruce cooked them up for dinner tonight and they definitely need an acquired appreciation... I love Artichokes...and these have a "hint" of the flavour...yet ...they tasted waxy...ish.. not a fav of mine, yet I'm glad I tasted them.



Colourful..


We received a bit of an alert...
Jannah needed to get out of PNG on an emerg evac and although she left us a voice message this aft...that she is ok... we are awaiting connection to actually speak with her... it doesn't sound good.... for any future expeditions though.

News from J update:
Nothing happend to J...she was only taken off the trek this time to assist a participant in getting back to Port Moresby for treatment. (She had already walked the 96 K over 9 days..and this was a second group which followed the first trek!)
A blind gentleman on the Kokoda trek who was in great physical shape..blew his right knee while on day 2 of the hike. J volunteered to be his companion on the transport out.... Now, she loved the helicopter experience and ...yes... wants to persue this further sometime...
She is back in Queensland and a bit lonely...
