Jacaranda trees coming out....

I love this time of year when the city is like a sea of purple with the Jacarandas coming into bloom!  In a couple of days this will be amazing!

Had a frustrating day - went to renew my car insurance - no problem.  Except their card machine was on the blink - tried twice and my card was rejected, phoned the bank - no problem with the card.  Was told to go to another branch to pay (took me over an hour to get there in the traffic)!  Paid at last.... The whole process took over 3 hours when it should have been a simple 15 minute job!  Frustration...
