Flowers again....

Its coming into summer here - its suddenly become hot and flowers are blooming like mad!  Jacaranda trees are out all over the place.  At our language study centre, there is a bed of these flowers (no idea what they are) but they are just stunning!

After class, I went and bought a twintub washing machine!  Those of you old enough will remember twin tubs!  Basically if you have low water pressure, and sporadic water and electricity, its the only option apart from hand washing!  Hopefully I will be able to try it out tomorrow!
