it was really refreshing @CheerBear i was off on my own little tangent and half the time mum would send a msg to say shes lost me haha. i wasnt far but taking photos of different plants i was squatting and theres were heaps of bushes and hedges so it was like one giant game of hide and go seek. when springs in full bloom im going to go abck casue heaps more of the plants will be open esp the big rose section they have. the last time i seen them im sure they had every single colour!
my foot- is just one big pain in the backside. getting use to it now lol but it wasnt the gardens that made it act up it was running and slipping in the mud and rain srambling to feed and rug the horses ive got in my care! the rain really caught me out and i was at the gardens for longer than expected. i wasnted to stay longer but we had a clothelines full of clothes and i had horses to feed so 2 hours was plenty.

@outlanderAww, hun, the the trip to the botanic gardens sounds so nice. And you have a very good eye for photography too. Hang on to those lovely memories when the hard times come. You can go back there anytime in your mind.
It has been a beautiful sunny day here in Perth, and my house mate and I went out to the very, tiny local farmers markets, then for a drive through the beautiful back streets. After coming home for a while we then went for a short walk to our local Bunnings for a look, and bought from the sausage sizzle before coming home. We haven't ventured far in the last few weeks, because it has been cold and wet. So this afternoon we are both very tired, but grateful of the the warmer weather.

yes i love nature. any sort really which is why i find drawing it the best thing for me though im not great at it. it keeps me occupied when i need to. @Sans911
sounds like youve had an adventure yourself today too, weve been having nice weather here lately but ive been too busy or in a shocking state to really pay attention to it. jsut getting through the day was the goal. but today im glas i went out. i wasnt going to but i thought it might be better than sitting at home. and for once there hasnt been any arguments either which is a bonus. just have to keep the day going well and it should set me up for a better night.
going to jump back on and do some more study for an hour or so as well. im into the nursing one at the moment which im finding pretty interesting.
lots of love

the common illness ones are hard! @Sans911
the nursing ones are seeming to be quite interesting so im finding it easy to keep up.
but the common illness ones arent too great and finding it hard to keep up with them all.
ill find the module videos and topics and see if you can give me a hand with anything.
i might move this convo to my study thread though if you dont mind..
