We’ve been
able to walk most mornings, making sure we avoid causing the parents of
ducklings & goslings any grief as they make their way around their
favourite spots at Lake Daylesford, which quite often includes where we park
our car.
We’ve both
done lots of gardening – Wes mowing & weeding & planting more seaside
daisies, which remind us poignantly of Stuart Rattle. I’ve harvested the last
of the snow peas & baby spinach & am about to plant the tomatoes &
chillies.
Barbara
hasn’t been well again this week, so Wes put her car in for service for her on
Monday; went to the pharmacy for her, & made sure she had plenty to eat
& drink. Judi was also unwell & had a quiet week, which is most unusual
for her.
Dot &
I played Mah Jong & Dot was back to her best, wiping the floor with me. I
also had a lovely facial with Emma Ford at EKO & am feeling much better
after my period of unwellness.
On
Thursday, I drove in pouring rain to visit Leanne in dry, sunny Strathmore. We
had a good visit together & caught up on each other’s news. Meanwhile Wes
took his sister, Denise, out for a drive to show her places in the Hepburn
Shire, where their family settled & they finished with lunch at Boathouse
Daylesford.

On my way
to Strathmore I dropped off my latest crop of beanies – most of them in footy
colours, which I hope will be appreciated by the blokes who get them!
Yesterday
& this morning, we walked around Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens for a change.
It is so beautiful there at present – lots of irises, roses, rhododendrons,
primula, and hellebores.
We enjoyed
watching Derby Day on TV yesterday. Once again, we put three horses in a
quinella, which cost $3 each race. Our outlay was $27 & our return was $75,
so we have still have money up our sleeves for Cup Day.
