The view or two from my "office"

You beat me to it re: soil ....... but just for info, we have/had a white one, and using coffee grounds (Waitrose leave them in a bin outside the store!) we've changed it to pink.

When I lived in Adelaide hills and planted azaleas I used azalea food in the soil and sprinkled it around alternate hydrangea bushes and ended up with a mixture of red and blue hydrangea bushes depending on where I put the fertiliser.

Mr Flyfrequently walking his sister and cousin to Southern Cross station, the town was the busiest we have seen it lately.

So I was on a flight to ZQN last month, and got chatting to a local next to me who recommended Moke Lake. I had been to Queenstown 4 times at this point, but never heard of the lake. Anyway, I did the walk on that trip and was blown away. Absolutely beautiful scenery. And probably saw no more than 6 people on the trail.

Randomly drove there a few years go and was completely stunned by the gorgeous scenery and the peace / silence. Had to take the fam there to share the other day. Just as beautiful as I remembered.
 
The small ones were 150 baht (~AUD7), the pink was 400 baht (~AUD19) and the blue was 500 baht (~AUD24) so I spent ~AUD85 in total.
So 3 small 2 pink and 1 blue?...gee you could have just told us! At my age I need to preserve my brain cells for important, well, stuff!
