We returned from our trip to the Daylesford Market last Sunday with one thing in mind - cleaning our bathrooms before we sat down to tea & toast. We have been doing these chores on a Monday, which is already busy, so tried moving to Sunday, and it worked well. Wes very kindly did both shower recesses and I looked after the flat surfaces in return. Although it had been cold & frosty for our walk, by the time we sat down, it was sunny and warm in the lounge and we took our time over the Sunday Age, listening to Martin Buzzacott on ABC Classic FM, as he played endless beautiful piano music to tempt those listeners who hadn't yet voted in the Classic 100 Piano.
On Monday, after our walk & supermarket shopping, we headed to Cliffy's for breakfast to chat about our upcoming Dog Holiday to Barwon Heads. We leave on Tuesday morning and return on Friday afternoon, and are hoping to find a piece of Thirteenth Beach that we can let Morse run free. Wes enjoyed the porridge, while I went for poached eggs with tomato & greens.
Later, while I had a massage with Sarah Hunt, Wes got the mower out & made a start on the grass. He also did some tidying up in the front yard & planted some Golden Oregano near our Golden Beauty roses.
Tuesday was one of those days where the temperature doesn't vary much and it was too cold to do anything outside, so we both resorted to indoor jobs. I had my usual fringe trim a day early as we were off to Parliament House the next morning for a reception for ALP Life Members, which we were thrilled to have received invitations to attend.
Sadly, we both woke the next morning with head colds & coughs, not COVID, but not worth infecting anyone else with, so had to forego our visit to Parliament and spent a very quiet day inside, with lots of hot drinks & panadol.
Fortunately we both felt much better on Thursday and Wes was able to drive to Camberwell for lunch with the Jackson Group members who live in Victoria - Graham, Rod & Jim. I was pleased to have another quiet day at home, although Morse isn't too happy when Wes disappears and needs constant TLC & reassurance.
The rest of the week has passed by very quietly - both our colds freshened up, and we spent Friday & yesterday with the open fire going all day as it was chilly & wet. The rain is so very welcome here in Victoria and we have our fingers crossed that it is getting to those farmers who are so desperate. We had to postpone our visit to Leanne, and hope to do it next Sunday.
We've been listening to ABC Classic where we voted in the Top 100 Piano - so far Wes is winning with 3 of his 10 picks in the music played yesterday, while I only have 1. It's been fun seeing what choices other friends made and shared on Facebook, as well as knowing that the whole of Australia is enjoying the Countdown at the same time.
