Le printemps and other weather.

I just walked down to the Boulangerie to get a baguette for lunch. (And could I help it if a tartelette au chocolat cried out "Pick me! Pick me!"?) Anyway, what I wanted to say was that I could have almost gone without a coat! The wind is a bit cool out there but there are certain signs of spring in the air. Including these lovely self-seeded violets which are everywhere. This photo was taken at my gate. You'll get a better idea of the violets if you click on the photo to enlarge it. Anyway, it's actually quite overcast but I am remaining positive! However, I am a bit concerned at the moment about the cyclone bearing down on Australia. I am worried about Hayden and Vanessa who live in Bargaga right on the coast. I didn't know about the cyclone until I read on Facebook that Vanessa had gone to the supermarket to get some supplies and it was like a madhouse! And no masking tape left, no candles, hardly any tinned food.... Crikey! However, I did have a laugh when one of their friends wrote that she had expressed concern about H & V but her partner said it would be all right because Hayden was a policeman! Lol! Anyway, I rang before and talked to Vanessa and they have taken in all the outdoor things and now can only wait and hope that it fizzles out before getting to their Wide Bay area. Fingers crossed!
