Hello Ed, Happy Fairy Land Birthday. I went to the Monday Morning Coffee Club and we nearly had every one there. So many interesting conversations. Came home and pottered around for awhile then got ready to go to Tom Katz at Sorrento RSL to celebrate Australia Day and enjoy the music of the Marty Rose Band. They perform classic rock. Marty is a dead ringer for Paul McCartney. I went with Terase and bumped into 2 ladies from my Art Group. They sat with us. My SIL, Janet and friends were also there. It was quite a social afternoon. Absolutely packed and the music a bit too loud but quite enjoyable. A lady whom I think had had a few drinks encouraged me to get up and dance. As the band was playing Billy Thorpe's song, 'Most People I Know think That I'm Crazy', I couldn't resist. Her eyes widened when I started to dance. Seems that I still have the old moves. I surprised myself. A most enjoyble late afternoon and early evening. Home now and I have fed myself. Tomorrow is going to be 40 here. EEEK! I will get up early and set the sprinkler going and then walk for my morning coffee. Then I will shut the house up. Although I do have a chap coming to quote on new guttering around lunch time.
Kev's wife really seems to be reaching out to you. I guess that she is hoping that you can talk sense into him. Sad. goodnight from The Land Down Under.

Peace dove. TY

Morning splash--field mouse ty It is -12 and light snow this morning but we are waiting for a big storm today. It has hit the southern U.S. and they have freezing rain and ice everywhere but no equipment to deal with it. That -23 was the temperature not the feels like which was -40 and let me tell you it gets you moving in a hurry  even it you have trouble doing it. Kevin has returned my apartment and me to calm again==the reading glasses were push almost out the other side of my bed but seen as I can get down there I couldn't see them. Got all the groceries and extras that I wanted and Kevin checked the storage locker(nothing really missing but part of my shelving got broken and one cooler I had in there,all organized and the Christmas stuff is now back in. Today I have a small pork roaast to cook for supper and any thing else to go with it and I can relax and watch the storm if it comes. You outing sounds like it was ok except for the rubber steak. (do you need your steak well done--we eat them mediun rare except for Kevin and he gets it blue--no usually tough that wasy,) Have a good Sunday.

Hello Ed, TY for the mouse. I tured the hose off after filling it. I will attach a sprinkler to it tomorrow and see how it goes. Much cooler here today. I am sitting outside as I write to you and I can here the surf. Almost time to bring Mungo and Mindy in as night is falling. I don't think that Mungo has a friend as he really would not know what to do. He was desexed when he was quite a young kitten. I think that he was most likely sheltering under the house. HaHa, they just had a hissing scrap and when I shouted at them they both looked the other way as if to say, "It wasn't me." Enjoy your day.

Hello Ed, TY for the Mallard. Sorry that you did not enjoy the Italian meal. I hope that Sausage enjoyed her celebration and the handbag. Yes that is a lot of money to spend. My favourite handbag cost me about $30 dollars in Aldi about 20 years ago. It is leather. Still not sure that I have sorted the hose / tap. I am about to turn it off and go and make dinner. Enjoy your day.

Hello Ed, it seems that I have to fill the hose before using it then leave it in the sun for 24 hours to iron out crinkles from packaging. Then leave it in a straight Iine. I think that I have done that??? Complicated outdoor tap system. Why do they make things so difficult? I will now put all of my 3 bins out for collection in the morning. My gardener placed my green bin out last week as he decided it was too heavy for me. I lifted the lid earlier to put some more green waste in it only to see that someone walking past my house had put a drink can in it. Grrrr! Honestly some people???
