Hello Ed, Sandra's confusion about what day it is, is understandable. My coffee Club friends also admit that they sometimes wonder. Such is retirement. I always check my phone. And strangely the shop will not be open on Australia Day. Most unusual. Usually the shop is only closed for Christmas day and Good Friday. I might check in with the supervisors to see if they are going to haul in goods from the donation bins on Monday. Perhaps I can do some shelving or help clear the donation bins. In the meantime I have had dinner and am now sitting outside listening to the traffic as tourists arrive. In the background I can hear the surf.

Hello Ed, you didn't wake me. In fact I had a great sleep last night. I am home again after working at the OP shop. Happily I managed to shelves lots of books, DVD's and Cds. The discs sell well so I guess a lot of people still have the players as I do. Many tourist arriving in Rye for the Australia Day long weekend. I had to call into the supermarket on my way home and it was crazy. Another heat wave coming tomorrow so the beaches will be packed. Enjoy your day.

Morning splash--it is clear and -6 this morning so far and not sure when our next snow stormy day is supposed to hit, Tea was good ,we had a few new ones so conversations were interesting. Yes apparently  Carney got a standing ovation which is rare and he wrote his own speech*not a bunch of writers for him) but then trump called him some names and on we go. I didn;t get to see anyone in the office as it was sort of crowded yesterday -I think with others that have lost their stuff from the lockers(there is some thing of value that are missing out of peoples stuff.*() one lady collects porcelen dolls and a couple are missing,a set old old named dishes are missing) so either they disappear in the transition or some people got into those apartments unsupervised and helped them selves or something. I don't know if golf is on or not----it should be the second gamr in Hawaii .But I think there is some curling so that ought to keep me occupied, Have fun with you snooker--never even tried that one but as you said before--you go to play for fun not got to win. Have a good day

Hello ED, TY for the Love Birds. Dinner done, leftovers, and I am sitting outside listening to the surf. As it is still light I may do some light gardening. We are expecting an heat wave this weekend although it is pleasant here outside at the moment. Enjoy your new day.

Hello Ed, the Australian Open is somewhat more casual than Wimbledon regarding the audience. However Osaka was turning it into a circus re. players. I hope that it does not catch on. I want to see sports people ready for their event not putting on a crazy fashion parade. Just imagine the participants in the Tour De France, Golf and other world wide sports doing that? Tennis does not need that sort of publicity. I would actually call it CHEATING as I am sure that she threw her opponent off the game. Tennis is not a circus. GRRRR!

Hello Ed, I guess that you are sleeping? I had another lovely morning when I went for my usual coffee and a lot of the Monday Morning Coffee Club turned up at the same time. So naturally we all sat down to chat. Now I am just pottering around doing household tasks. I have booked the Guttering people that I used a year ago to come and quote on the other side of my house now that the trees have been cleared. The sea air can damage metal. Re. Australian comedy I have never heard of 'Sando.' An Australian comedy that I remember was "Aunty Jack." Late 60's or early 70's? It was quite funny and Monty Python like. I hope that I didn't wake you.

Thanks
