Lewis & Morse need to go to confession daily methinks (with thanks to Daylesford Pet Appreciation FB page)
We started our week with a lovely visit to the Sunday Market, where Ken carried my basket & bags to the car for me, Lewis & Morse greeted the odd local coming in, Yvonne provided amazing bounty & we found a stall selling scones & decided to try them for a change.
After I had put everything away, shared some of our goodies with neighbours, Glen, Rob & Dene, and tidied the kitchen, Wes cooked scrambled eggs which he served on crumpets - a very yummy breakfast indeed. The sun was shining, so I picked a vase of daffodils to brighten the entrance of our home, balanced Reckon, did a back up & prepared for the footy - Collingwood & Essendon, two very old, bitter rivals. The previous Sunday, Wes & Jeff Bain had spent a very enjoyable time fishing together, but COVID put the kybosh on that recurring, so we settled down to enjoy the footy. The Pies were no match for the Bombers, who were Finals bound for the first time in years & played like they really meant it.
Meanwhile, we were very sad to read of the death of long-time Brunswick Rotary friend, Ted Bailey, who stayed in touch over the years & found happiness a second time with his friend, Wendy Watson, after losing his wife, Maida, back in 1997. Ted was 92, but looked & acted younger & always had a glint of mischief in his eyes.
We've had a big week of Zooms again - we both chatted with Jan Pengilley in Maleny; I spent time with Leanne on Tuesday & Friday; Terry Borg & I had a good catch up; Wes spoke with Barbara on Monday & Friday; we are catching up with Ian & Robyn Robinson on this morning,(in lieu of meeting up in person with Lewis & Morse in tow); Wes hosted a get-together of St Bernards' Old Boys; as well as a pre-Finals Footy chatfest with old friends, & was part of another very successful early morning Zoom with the overseas Jackson 8.

We discussed Spring plantings & Norton Cloud back-up during School on Monday. We decided to start yet another Keep note for our Spring plantings, in particular making note of failures, which seem to get repeated most years. We were both frustrated by Norton insisting we back up to the Cloud, and it took me until 1.15pm that day to work out how to disarm it, which I did for both of us with much glee. We love Norton, but not the extra sales pitches.
I was annoyed to discover that I had run out of energy in the middle of the week, which meant I spent quite a few hours in bed - the only way to get back on track. As a result I missed out on a Zoom chat with Kathy & Karen, and had to postpone food shopping by a day. Wes was wonderful, as always, and happily provided meals & drinks to my bedside. I'm still not able to last the whole day out of bed, but this is much better than early on when I first developed chronic fatigue and was bed-ridden for days on end. We've obviously gotten much better at managing it.

We've been watching the footy as well as the Paralympics. Port's demolition of Geelong suggests they mean business; GWS & Sydney played a very exciting close match with the Giants surviving to win by a point, and Melbourne were far too good for Brisbane last night. This arvo we'll be keen to see if the Doggies can beat the Bombers to rescue their year, which has been spiralling out of control.
