New Wheels

 Woohoo - My new wheels have arrived.

The Bible tells me so...

 Two years ago I shared this with my husband who is my personal barista.

No sirens needed

 I had a fun ride up the M1 Freeway in an ambulance this morning as I was transferred from the surgical hospital to a rehab hospital close to our home. 

The two female ambulance officers gave me five star service, it was a quiet ride as they didn't use the siren.

Screwed

 I had a little op yesterday. The surgeon removed my pesky ankle replacement and fused my ankle with an impressive range of rods and screws. 

As I have to stay off my foot for several months I anticipate lots of time for genealogy and reading. 

Pre-op

Didn't feel a thing

Not quite as bright as I was pre-op

Hello, is it beer you're looking for?

 I am very interested in environmental print in all its forms including signs, banners, plaques, advertising. Although I don't set out to photograph particular classes of item, if I dig into my photo archives, I can often find a collection of images relating to a theme. 

Today I dug up some images that related to the promotion of a universal drink, beer. Several of these photos taken from a moving bus are a bit fuzzy.
