Look what a lovely Colour these Beautiful Flowers are.
These are the Flowers on a tree in my front garden. However I am not sure what the tree is called. Mostly when it is in full bloom all the leaves have dropped off. The small green birds love to sip the nectar from inside the petals.
So today maybe the day is the day to pick or choose a red flower to put in a vase on your table or workspace. They really do brighten and cheer the room up ……… But…….. if you cannot find a red flower it is nice to put some other colour in, maybe with some green leaves to make a special show that will last for a few days to give pleasure to whoever will see them.
Just one Flower say’s – *Look at Me*
Perhaps we should have a Recipe – Here we are then:
We have lots of Lemons at the moment so thought this would be a good recipe to try.
You will find the above recipe in our Recipe e-Book available from the Link below.
The Recipe Book is for those who love Cooking….. it has some great Recipes in and is illustrated with Pen/Ink Drawings. Only available as an eBook on here.

Here is another Link (It is my Story) Hope you may find it interesting…… I am the baby on the front cover.

How about choosing to have Fish for dinner –
it is excellent protein for us and can be very tasty.
Here is a Pen & Ink Drawing that I did of a Fish.
Yes This is a Fish….not sure what sort though.
So what Fish do you like to eat?
I think I like most Fish really and find there are lots of ways to cook them.
The main Fish around here are ….North West Snapper, Black Snapper, Pink Snapper, Taylor, Mullet, Yellow Tail.. Also Crabs and Cray’s (Lobster)
Non edible Fish or Creature’s are: Dolphin, Sharks (the small Sharks are good to eat) Groupers, Blowies, Sea Snakes, Turtles and the usual small Sea Creatures that abound in most places like Star Fish, Jelly Fish, Stone Fish, Cuttle Fish. We have beautiful beaches that you can stand on the Shore to Fish from.
Our beaches can rival the best of anywhere in the world.
Here is a Recipe: – Salmon Mornay
415g,tin-Pink Salmon; 2cups-Cooked Long grain Rice; Cheese Sauce; Grated Cheese; White Pepper.
Method:
Spread the Cooked Rice into a Lamington Dish, Pile the Salmon on top of the Rice, Cover with your Favourite Cheese Sauce and Top with Grated Cheese. Sprinkle with the White Pepper.
Put into a hot oven until heated through and Cheese has melted.
Serve Hot.
***
Alternative:
Tuna can be used instead of Salmon.
Other tasty things to make with Fish are: – Fish Cakes, Fish Fingers, Prawn Cocktails, Fried Fish, Fish Curry (one of my favourites) Poached Fish and Grilled Fish.
So if you do not feel like cooking any of the above just buy some Fish & Chips ready cooked and you will still be getting a really good Fish Meal.
This is my Painting of a Scary Fish!!!!
Hope you like and enjoy Fishy Cooking and Eating – maybe share a Fish meal with a friend
You will find Fish Recipes in the Book above available via the Link.

A Lovely Basket of Flowers to start off for the New Day.
Yes today is a New Day…. each day is different from the day before… so what are we going to do today? Let us have a think !
Perhaps we can do some cooking…… what would you like to cook today? Something different, something nice.. maybe a cake, maybe some rice, maybe a stew, let us have a look in the Recipe Book !
Well – here is a nice recipe for a Syrup Tart…. If you have never made this and you like something sweet it is very good. Can be eaten cold with Ice-cream or nice thick Cream or just on its own. Why not give it a go. It can be found on page 22 in our Recipe Book, which is available as an eBook. Will put the Link on here for you.
I just remembered, did I forget to do that or – did I do it and forget that I did it?
I forget now but if I do it now and I have already done it, that means that I would have done it twice.
Best if I don’t do it now. I may not have done it at all if I didn’t do it in the first place.
What a dilemma, why did I just think that I hadn’t done it, then think that maybe I had.
Well I remember thinking that I should but I wonder if I did.
The best thing is to go and look I suppose – – now what was it that I think I forgot to do.
I can’t remember now, best to have a Cuppa and think about it later.
*****
What about the Syrup Tart then?
Psalm: 3 verse 5. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because The Lord sustains me. (This is from the Bible)
Sometimes we are like sheep that have gone astray – but it is nice to be back in the fold and enjoy our day.

Hibiscus that come over our fence from our Neighbours garden. They are just Beautiful – I use them sometimes in the Basket of Flower Arrangement that I take to Church.

Have you ever thought how beautiful Flowers are……
maybe today is a good day to put some in a vase or jar
to look at in your kitchen or lounge room.
They are a good talking point as well when you have any visitors
also they definitely brighten up any room.
Even One Single Flower looks great in a vase on its own.
The little drawing above is one that I did……..
you may like to make your own drawing of a Single Flower,
it is a good exercise for any of us who like painting or drawing.

Beautiful Colourful Blossom on this photo that I took
Instead of a Basket of Flowers here we have a tree blown into this shape by the constant wind in and around Geraldton N.W. Australia…..it is an Acrylic Painting that I did from one of my Photographs..
Every Day is a new day for us to live and laugh and love and enjoy…. some days are not so good but life is what we make it. We need to get up each day to get on with the work we are meant to be doing. If we live alone or with a family we need to be pleased that we are alive to live another New Day.
Don’t let the wind blow away those thoughts and things that you need to do for today.
Remember Yesterday has gone and Tomorrow never comes so we have: TODAY……which is a New Day.
What are we going to do Today then? That is the question!
We all have to get up from our beds, get washed and dressed ready for the New Day….some of us like to pray first before we have our breakfast, others wait until later….and others do not think to pray but just get on with the daily chores to start with. However we all have a New Day each Day to do something with remembering that this New Day will never come again because then it will become Yesterday. How about that then?
Here is a link to one of my Books…hope you like it and can have a bit of fun with your family playing the game. It tells you inside the book how to play – you need at least two people. It is good to play in the car while driving to help keep the Driver alert and is a bit of fun for the passengers.
This is a book of Pen & Ink Drawings of Cats and is a Game for Young and Old to play together.
From the bible: Matthew: 24 verse 42. Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
