Once again, we started our week with a lovely visit to the Sunday Market, where Yvonne had everything ready for us to collect, and Jeff, the dog treat man, had found the special bones that Morse enjoys and had a packet of them for me. Afterwards, Wes & Morse went fishing at Newlyn Reservoir & had the place to themselves for a couple of hours, which meant Morse could frolic in the water.
I'm not sure Morse grasped the purpose of the fishing rod!
We've had a busy week again - lots of Zoom chats with family & friends; brunch at Pancho cafe with Di & Jeff; a visit to Glen at St John of God Hospital in Ballarat (just me as there is a COVID limit of 2 visitors per day); a visit from our old neighbours, Rob & Dene, to collect various items they left under our house (and to play with Morse, who was over the moon to see them again), a visit to the vet for Morse, and quite a few phone calls catching up with local friends.

Wes has been watering Glen's garden as well as our own while she is in hospital, and I think he is enjoying looking at different plants & getting ideas for improvements to our place. It will be lovely for Glen to be able to look out at her beautiful garden when she is home recuperating from her operation.
I ran out of energy on Thursday afternoon & had to rest, which wasn't too hard with the latest Vera to read - The Rising Tide - by Ann Cleeves, which is set on Lindisfarne aka Holy Island, in Northumberland. We spent a day there about 6 years ago & I am enjoying being transported back to that time.

Our new neighbours finally moved in yesterday. It was a huge day for them as they packed everything in their large Strathmore home to be delivered to two places - their unit in Docklands & their home here in Daylesford. James arrived with the removalists at 5pm, directed the positioning of items, and then drove back to Melbourne to stay overnight there. We kept Morse inside with us, as large trucks are not his thing!
We are off to visit Leanne after the Sunday Market, to implement Stage 2 of her new garden. Once again, it is only a small patch, but she is excited, and enjoying the changes. After the very hot day yesterday, we hope it will be cooler in Strathmore, although they may not have enjoyed the light rain we woke to this morning. Wes took Morse for a lap of Lake Daylesford, which will tire him out and hopefully he will sleep while we are away.
We now have a ferocious owl scaring away the cockies on our main decking
