My apologies for the
delay in sending an Easter Dispatch. I have been in bed recovering from a lurgy
and Easter has passed by without my participation.
Wes has been wonderful,
as always, doing everything, which includes managing our two excited & unpredictable
young Labs.
His reward was a trip
to the footy last Sunday, where he and Barbara saw Carlton finally win a game
& win it well, scoring 101 points, which is something they have failed to
do for some time. I was well enough to get up & dressed & babysit,
while he went to the Docklands, but I was more than ready to go back to bed on
his return.
From my window I have
watched Autumn gradually taking over the deciduous trees, I have seen some glorious
sunsets, the occasional pink sky at dawn and, every now & then, two mad Labs
chasing each other around the back yard.
Daylesford was chock
full of visitors over Easter and I’m sure all the traders are both grateful
& exhausted. As I sit here looking out to the Lake, it is quiet &
peaceful, and although there are few roses, the lavender is out, the seaside
daisies are recovering from the battering they took from Lewis & Morse and,
through the misty rain, I can see grass trying to make a re-entry through the
dry, dusty earth.
Apart from yesterday, we have had
non-stop footy since Holy Thursday night, where Collingwood was able to account
for Brisbane quite comfortably at the Gabba. I am hoping to attend the 25th
ANZAC Day match tomorrow, between Collingwood & Essendon. I haven’t missed
one of these games since the very first, memorable draw in front of nearly
95,000 people. Wes has offered to drive me to Ballan Station, so I can catch
the train & I have a reserved seat on Level 4.
Yin & yang – Morse & Lewis with their post bath
bones – making sure they are separate!
