A riddle and a drama

This weekend I have been working really hard on constructing my Winter Exchange for the Crazy Exchange Group. Here's a riddle for you. Can you guess what this will turn into? Tomorrow is a public holiday here and I will get this finished and packaged. Once it arrives in its far off destination I will show you the completed item. This has been a real drama to construct.

But talking about dramas - on the way back from church this morning I turned into the street to buy the Sunday newspaper and couldn't get through because of a police barricade. Around I turned and back the other way. The shopkeeper could shed no light - he speaks no English! - but I found out later that a taxidriver had been stabbed and the whole street was cordoned off as a crime scene. What! In my peaceful neighbourhood. I am thankful to live in a gated apartment building and have several levels of security.

And finally a picture of my white lilies. They have taken months to come from a dry dusty looking bulb to this but the smell is heavenly and they are worth the wait.

Have a great evening everyone.
