Day 266: Wish list...

Day 266: ...for a lovely garden, one day

Tuesday and back to the Gold Coast to accompany mum to tai chi after a three week absence due to work commitments (yes, work commitments while on leave). Last week we noticed one of the major hardware megachain was busy building a mega-mega store, not far from, according to mum, one of their existing merely mega-stores. 

Earlier in the day we visited her independent little bonsai specialist as well to look at some possible specimens. And he suggested should we find a plant we'd like bonsai-ed, we could take it to him to get it started. So for that and other reasons, we dropped into the merely mega-store in the event it might be closing down soon to make way for the mega-mega store up the road. 

Mum has always had more success than me with gardening and she also has a fabulous eye for interior decorating and garden ideas. It's always interesting looking at what is around, what might be done. 

While wandering around, I snapped a couple or three of the new roses...such delicate and traditional colours...AND perfume! So rare it seems these days. 

Almost like fine paper...

We didn't buy today but I think we have managed to help each other with a Christmas wish list (yes, just three months away...).

I headed home for another three hours of intensive tai chi instruction and practice. Perfect tai chi...that too is on my long term wish list...
