In one place, for a bit.

May Day greetings to you all!  Workers' rights and bunches of lily-of-the-valley. 

I've been travelling a lot, to Australia and New Zealand, mostly because of family members being ill - and it's really good to be back.  :)  Australia - the parts I was in - was showing the impact of a long, hot summer, with dry, dry gardens, and produce like tomatoes astonishingly expensive - at least, I was astonished to be charged a dollar more for a cheese-and-tomato sandwich than my friend was for a ham-and-cheese; both my friend and the sandwich-shop woman laughed at me for being surprised.
New Zealand, though - what a beautiful, damp, green country that is!  A magic country - no wonder they did all the Tolkien there.

Happy May Day! I'm glad to hear from you. I would also be surprised by tomato costing more than ham.

Blessed moisture--I love it too; dryness makes me anxious.

Happy May Day!

Hello! I hope your family is doing better now.

At first, I was surprised that the tomato sandwich costs more but then on reflection, not surprised at all. :-) It's crazy how finding all veggie options can cost more than something with meat. (We order takeout a lot at work and when you see the prices for something vegetarian/vegan instead of meat, the mind is baffled.)

Happy May day (belated)!
