We're sure this is what Morse does 🤣
We had a wonderful week planned and had to cancel almost all of it, because neither of us was well enough to do much more than sit/lie around reading and sleeping. Thanks to everyone who coped with cancelled & postponed Zooms, and a special thanks to our neighbour, Glen, who offered daily to do anything she could to help us.
We realised last Monday that we were in no state to attend the ALP Life Members' function at State Parliament, nor the MCC 50-year Member lunch for members & guests, that we had accepted. Even if these events had been just around the corner, instead of 90 minutes travel away, we were both coughing too much to be welcome in polite society.
Les came on Friday morning to finish off his work with us by painting all the areas he had been replastering etc. He also fixed a cupboard door handle and a small issue with the dishwasher. Wes discovered that he was in the market for a lawnmower, so gave him our spare one, which thrilled Les to bits. He has only a small amount of lawn to mow, so this second-hand one will be perfect.
Our first little vase of roses
Yesterday we spent watching the races from Moonee Valley as it was Cox Plate and what an exciting and wonderful race that was. We had a few each way bets, which added to the interest and didn't deplete our TAB account. We also caught up on AFLW games, and later on the ICC One Day World Cup match between Australia & New Zealand at the picturesque Dharamsala stadium, which Australia won by 5 runs in a nail-biting finish.
Today we are off to visit Leanne on our regular three-weekly visit. Wes has some planting to do in the garden bed he prepared last time, and I will be inside helping Leanne reorganise her pantry. We are both feeling well enough to do this, and especially because we know we can have a quiet afternoon on our return. home.
