Library: BOOKCASE
One bookcase a library does not make! However, there are
other bookcases around the house. This was the first piece
of furniture I bought after I started teaching. Now it houses
mainly my books, our photos and part of David's extensive
Jazz collection. On the second shelf from the top, midway,
there is also an old Bible which a woman from Perth sent me.
I had noticed her post on a family thread asking if any Gummer
would like the Bible which she had found at a market stall.
The post was three years old so I didn't hold great hopes of it
still being available as I have a number of Gummer cousins in
Perth. However, it became mine. It was given to two girls who
were assisted immigrants in Launceston by the C of E Sunday
School c1845 before they departed for Melbourne.
I have yet to make contact with the Victorian
Gummers but hope I might be able to return the Bible
to the descendants of its former owners.
I also hope to find out if we are related.
The Bible is well travelled!
Smell:
BORONIA perhaps Boronia Ledifolia...
aka Sydney Boronia. This beautiful shrub is gracing
our back
fence. To be honest, I can't describe the
smell/perfume as
I can't climb up there to find out (...I would
have to trespass
from the next street). Hopefully, it isn't the
stinking boronia,
Boronia Anemonifolia! Perhaps Vireya can
enlighten us!
I am hoping some techie is able to come up with an
iPad
which has 'scratch and sniff' Apps! Hold that
thought!
I'm claiming it as my intellectual property!
Equipment: BINDING TOOL! I have never used it!

It was my mother's 90th birthday on Thursday.
We had a small party of 6 at an Italian restaurant,
'Gatto Matto' in Five Dock. We had a wonderful time
and Mum loved it. I will post a photo when I have
downloaded them from her phone.
