Poor Woodstock!
We've had another enjoyable week weatherwise - Autumn is such a wonderful time in Daylesford - it still gets hot, but not too hot & most nights the temperature is good for sleeping - everywhere looks bright & beautiful & our garden is full of roses again.
Wes had a successful visit with Leanne, taking her some things she needed, as well as helping out with some chores & bringing home a cake she had baked for us. I had a quiet Sunday, watching footy games & taking things easily with the boys at my feet.
On Monday, after shopping, we sat down to watch a recent interview with Ian Rankin at the 2020 Edinburgh Book Festival - this was School, and we learnt so much about Ian himself, about his character, Rebus, and about how he found COVID times great for writing. He was interviewed well by Ruth Wishart, who was very familiar with his work & had prepared herself well with her questions. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpgCghMVnyw if you want to see it).

I was pleased to be able to get back to my Zoom chats - twice with Leanne, a great catch-up with Terry Borg, and a very noisy gathering of Old Friends - so much to say in a short time! I was also able to keep an appointment for a manicure, which was well overdue, and a haircut, ditto.
However, Wes was quite unwell for a couple of days with fever, shivering, high temperatures & absolutely no energy. We did RAT tests to eliminate COVID, and the telephone consultation with Dr Fred Jayawardene (a wonderful Sri Lankan surname, but he had an Irish accent) suggested that Wes had caught a nasty bug that was going around. We were both impressed with the help we got from Springs Medical Centre - I rang to speak with a nurse, gave my name to the receptionist & by the time I was connected to the nurse she knew I was 'Warren's wife'. She had plenty of practical advice & set up the phone appointment within an hour. Wes is still not 100%, but much better than he was.

We were both grateful for all the sport that was on TV to keep us entertained. The Blues had a second win, this time against last year's runners-up, the Western Bulldogs; Australia made a sporting declaration in the 3rd Test in Pakistan & bowled well to win the match; the Australian women were challenged by Bangladesh at The Basin in Wellington, but steadied once Beth Mooney came in to bat, and Collingwood beat a young Adelaide side to make their way into the top 4 at the MCG.
I ended up having a day in bed yesterday and will be pleased when I catch up with Dr Ellie this week to get the results of my blood tests & find out what can be done to improve my energy levels.
