Daylesford Summer Dispatch - Sunday, 3rd February 2019



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.
