When I arrived at the Sunday Market last week, everyone was
most disappointed that Lewis & Morse weren’t with me. I explained about
injections & will no doubt have to do it all over again this morning.
Tomorrow is the big day & then we can introduce them to Daylesford life.
While we were at breakfast at Larder, Rob & Dene
came in to give the boys a hug & play with them. We arrived home to find
them watching next door looking for signs of life in the garden & hoping
that the sad looks on their faces would prompt another visit.
Lewis found himself on
Wes’s chair & seemed to like it!
This past week has seen the end of holidays for most school
children & their parents. The traffic has increased on the freeways, but
Daylesford is much quieter & there are very few cars in our little piece of
Duke Street. Our U3A starts this week & gym classes are on again. As I
haven’t been to gym for 4 months (holidays, asthma & puppies), I had a
private lesson with Barry on Wednesday morning to get myself back in the swing
of it all.
Lewis & Morse –
getting bigger, but still fall asleep at the drop of a hat – between the
ottoman & the couch & under my feet until I got up to take the photo
On Thursday we had a lovely catch up with our oldest
Daylesford friends, Glenda & Joe Rozen, over lunch at Boathouse Daylesford. Glenda
sold us our house & without her we probably wouldn’t be living happily
here, as every other estate agent we visited was unhelpful & not prepared
to listen or show us any properties. Joe & I developed a great friendship
at the Info Centre. Joe invited me to join him there on Monday mornings &
we worked together happily for about 11 years & were joined by Wes for some
of that time.
The next day, we were visited by Kathy & Gerard
Lazzaro, who had been to the Bendigo Gallery for the Frida Kahlo Exhibition
there. They arrived in time for lunch & the weather was kind enough for us
to be able to sit outside on the decking during their visit.
You
can see how excited Lewis & Morse are to have visitors!
We were delighted to have some rain at last – 12mls, all in
a hurry including thunder, lightning & giant hailstones. This was a good opportunity
to introduce the boys to all these climatic events & they have already
learnt not to panic at the noise.
On Friday night, Wes showed & watched the film Vice,
about Dick Chaney. He was most impressed as were the rest of the audience.
Although films at the Daylesford Town Hall aren’t a patch on a cinema, patrons
are turning up in good numbers, thrilled to be able to see the latest offerings
without travelling to Ballarat, Bendigo or Melbourne.
Yesterday Rob came in to have a serious cuddle & play
with Lewis & Morse. It is lovely to see how much they enjoy seeing him
& how excited they are to play. They are nice & clean after their first
serious bath.
In the late afternoon, Wes accompanied Barbara back to the
Daylesford Town Hall to make sure she was able to get in successfully to see Bohemian
Rhapsody. He ended up showing the film to 48 patrons. Meanwhile I was
watching the first game of AFLW where Collingwood lost by 1 point to Geelong at
Kardinia Park. We had planned to attend this match until Lewis & Morse
arrived!
While we swelter here,
our cousin, Leigh Murrin, is shown leaving home to walk to work in Luxembourg
about 10 minutes away
After the Sunday Market & breakfast at Boathouse
Daylesford this morning, we are looking forward to a visit from old
friends, Lovely & Malcolm, who are keen to meet Lewis & Morse.
Similarly long-time friends, Judi & Michael, are joining us all for a
sandwich lunch which will be inside with this dreadful heat back again.
