BJG has not emailed nor zoomed. He may have been delayed. Hopefully I will see him or hear from him when he gets to auckland this afternoon.  It is one mighty long trip: 3 planes, 3 flights. I got the mag The Walrus today. It is not an amazing mag by any means, too chatty and not intellectually in depth enough, but whatever, it is mail and I skim read it monthly when I think of it. 

The music is very good. I have just watered the cyclamen plant on the kitchen table. It is blooming full force , with 5 flowers and another one coming up. The bouquet I bought before hubby's departure is still okay! Two weeks! amazing! Only the red rose withered but after 7 days only.
