It's back to work here at NASA at Big Tree Harare. And as always we begin the year with fresh insights and sometimes the odd optional extra. In this case I'm donning a Chimanimani T-Shirt and thinking about who to add to my new Trees of Southern Africa Birthday Calendar!! 🏞️🌳✅

Catching up on some reading here at NASA at Big Tree Harare thanks to my first ever pair of spectacles. Thoroughly enjoying Planetfall by Emma Newman. Finally I can see the text again without zooming in. I've been longsighted in my left eye for about a year now. 👓😉💜

Saved your music to the Flame lily folder on my phone
Here is a "bouquet" of flame lilies. They grow on the driveway which I named "Cornelia Street" here at Big Tree Harare
