Yep, we did the Ceremony Of The Keys in...2009? If you're into that kind of thing, it's a one-of-a-kind experience and very much worth the effort. Back then, you had to actually write off a paper letter and mail it in to get reservations. Now it's all done online.

We were set to do it again in 2020, but that never happened, obviously. They had also added another night event, I think they called it Twilight Tours or something like that.

You remind me that last year The Tower of London did an Halloween night special live on their Facebook page, they had one of the Yeoman's talking about the ghosts that supposedly haunt it. Maybe they'll do it again this year?

We watched that!
 
My pic from 2008: The Tower riverbanks. My husband and I love London and have visited the city several times. In the 1980's a friend of mine worked as an au pair in London and invited me and another friend to visit the premises while the houseowners were on a trip. We flew in and visited a nice four decker row house apartment in the middle of the city. It turned out to be Jon Anderson's home (next to Elaine Paige's). Yes! I didn't even know the band then.

We spotted a nice cake on that trip. Brits seem to love football more than anything.

My study schedule for next week. They've interpreted distance learning oddly. I didn't find any new remote commissions or tasks either - and we've only had a couple of general zoom meetings with zero content 😑. My classmates have tried to contact the professors but they're always busy and 'occupied in reciprocal remote learning meetings'. Everybody is fed up with this mañana - mañana policy. We should turn in our theses and have our completion seminars by spring. I guess it's more juniper berry experiments, then. We visited our summer cottage (a 55 min ride to and fro) to pick another handful of mature berries.

View from home today.

Life is going yellow or purple at the moment

The yellow is the Cape Daisy. Originally from South Africa it thrives in Australia. We can't pull it up fast enough. But pulling it up causes problems because if the rosette of leaves thay kills competition such as grass. You are then left with nothing growing in the area (such as your lawn) and between the aussie sunshine and aussie wind, your lawn quickly dries out then gets blown away... best sadly to leave the daisies holding the soil down... each daisy kills about a dinner plate size patch of ground so leaves quite a hole in the garden.

The purple is known as the something curse (I just can't remember at the moment). Though it does remind us of the British Bluebell where it grows in woodland naturally colouring the landscape for a few weeks each year.

Both are noxious weeds in NSW and are meant to be pulled up and burnt on sight. But you just can't. As you can see, both are taking over. Bramble is another noxious weed that they are trying hard to eradicate.
