We started our week by taking Lewis & Morse to the
Sunday Market. This was quite tricky & Wes had to sit on the ground
cuddling them while everyone came to say hello. They were a big success &
it will be good to be able to start a routine of taking them with me after they
have had their next injections & have learned some more commands!
We had breakfast at Larder, which was OK, as it was good
to have some different options, but it was very noisy & our least favourite
waiter continued to call us all ‘love’. However, we all had some stories to
tell & were entertained very happily.
Our neighbours, Rob & Dene, sent us this photo while we
were out at breakfast. Apparently, the boys were asking for cuddles, so Rob
& Dene obliged.
I drove to Melbourne on Monday to spend the day with
Leanne. We had planned to go together on the Thursday, but we are reluctant to
leave the boys for that long, so went separately. Leanne & I had a
successful day & got plenty done. Wes drove there on Tuesday & spent
time in the garden among other things.
We each enjoyed our day looking after the boys, although
pre-meal time can be a bit busy & fraught as hungry puppies follow you
everywhere you go. They now weigh 9kg & have grown quite a bit in the three
weeks since we brought them home.
On Wednesday, Dot & I caught up over a cuppa at Muffins
& More before heading home to escape the heat. This really has been
unbearably hot, especially on Thursday night when the temperature didn’t drop
beyond 24°. We aren’t used to that & much prefer our cooler nights.
Our niece, Michelle Mazarakis & her children, Mikaela
& Michael visited us on Thursday morning & were delightful with Lewis
& Morse. They are used to dogs as they have a Cavoodle named Basil, who was
indignant when they got home, to smell Labradors on their clothes.
Everyone looks happy

Also, on Thursday, we were put on the NBN, something we
have been dreading. However, thanks to all the work Wes put in to making sure
it went smoothly, there were no hiccups. We have a new modem & had to buy
new portable phones, as we both prefer chatting on landlines (which probably
makes us dinosaurs).
As a result, I spent a good part of Friday reading the
manual on the new phones & re-doing all the phone numbers that we like to
have stored. We are enjoying the intercom function they have, as well as the
luxury of a phone in the bedroom, which we haven’t had since we moved here to
Daylesford.
The Test cricket against the Sri Lankans has been
disappointing as they are just not up to our standard, which is saying something.
I’ve enjoyed watching the pink ball Test at the Gabba, especially on these hot
afternoons, and am pleased to see some of our new players shine.
We have started teaching the boys to walk on leads. We are
walking around the backyard at present, and it has been a challenge. Lewis is
good at sitting & staying but
doesn’t care for heel; while Morse
likes heel but doesn’t think much of stay!
On Friday morning we decided to have breakfast at Cliffy’s,
which we haven’t visited since Jeff & Donna’s son, Liam, took it over. We
were impressed by the friendly service, the improved layout & comfort &
the very yummy mushroom & spinach omelette that neither of us could finish.
I’m off to the Sunday Market shortly (without the boys)
& breakfast is back at Larder again.
