Delicious Sugar Loaf Pineapple - Creative Monday Blog Hop

    On my tropical island it is always great to have my favourite fruit as the days get hot.  For some time I have only been enjoying pineapple slices sold in tins. Come to think of it, I can't recall eating home grown pineapple in years!  I was therefore thrilled to eat some slices of my favourite species,Sugar loaf, recently. 

       When the pineapple was real ripe we peeled it and then cut it in slices.  After that it was placed in the refrigerator.

      I am not able to cut it in the fancy designs that I have seen over the years. However it was very sweet and my family enjoyed it.  We certainly won't wait long to eat another one!

Question Time

    Every weekend I will have a blog post where I ask and answer questions.  It is a good way for readers to get to know more about me and also helps me to get feedback on a number of questions.  Do you spend more time listening to the radio or watching television?  I spend far more time listening to the radio than watching television. When I am not listening to a talk show I am taking in some good music on my favourite programmes.
       As usual I am participating in Friendship Friday hosted by Create With Joy where this week the theme is Music. Who are your favourite musical artistes?  That could be such a long list for me - Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, The Bee Gees, Whitney Houston, Lionel Richie, Olivia Newton John etc. Do you have a favourite song or album of all time?  Not really but I have bought several of Jamaican reggae legend Bob Marley's albums. Are you attending any concerts this summer?  I am not good in large crowds but if a concert or any musical show is on television I will be sure to watch it. What musical competitions do you watch on television? A Jamaican reality show, Digicel Rising Stars.  I can hardly wait for this season to start.  It is similar to American idol.

Decorating With Birds - Creative Monday Blog Hop

     For many years my twin and I decorated our home with bird calendars, pictures, figurines, wall hangings etc. I have continued to do so. This week I share some of the ways that we have decorated our home with birds.  Every year we have a bird calendar. I love the beautiful Golden Whistler that is featured for May 2013 on my Birds of Australia calendar. David Messent Photography did an excellent job sharing  several birds.

      Our bookshelf  is decorated with birds.  This is a special bird picture for me as Janine and I bought it many years ago when we were on a shopping trip in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

          
    There are also bird wall hangings. Here are 3 of our favourites that came all the way from Austria.

Question Time

   Every weekend I will have a blog post where I ask and answer questions.  It is a good way for readers to get to know more about me and also helps me to get feedback on a number of questions.  Where shoes are concerned, what type of heels do you like?  There was a time when Janine and I used to wear very high heels.  These days I rarely wear shoes that have heels higher than 2 inches.  I also have some flat heeled ones which I usually wear at home.
  As usual I am participating in Friendship Friday hosted by Create With Joy where this week the theme is Summertime.   What summer activities are you looking forward to this season?  Travelling to Jamaica's popular tourist resort in Ocho Rios to do some shopping. I also look forward  to enjoying nature and good weather, hopefully without a storm or hurricane this year.

Bird Figurine Series - # 39

      Janine and I were so thrilled when we got these figurines as gifts from our mother.  We just loved the colours. I have been doing some research in order to find out what species these birds are. Based on pictures and information in one of my bird books I am wondering if they are figurines of  Hoopoes.
