I love this Snoopy cartoon - dogs can sleep at the drop of a hat, but they can also be wide awake just as quickly. We left ours last Sunday to visit Leanne & were gone for longer than usual, as there was plenty to do, including Part 2 of her garden, which is being done slowly and properly and will probably take most of this year.

We had bought a large quiche from Gusto in Napier Street, Strathmore, to give to our new neighbours for their dinner that night, but there was no sign of anyone next door, so we had some ourselves instead.
On Monday, we were both still tired from the day before & opted for an entertaining School. Wes found a wonderful Scottish walk by Tony Robinson, which started at Pitlochry (one of our favourite places in the world) & ended at Balmoral Castle. We had walked some of the early pathways & certainly around Blair Castle, but there was plenty to see & do on the rest of his walk, which we will earmark for when we next go to Scotland.
We both spent time in the garden - Wes doing loads of watering for us & Glen, as well as mulching the roses & planting a couple of maples that had been growing in small pots. I rescued two tomato & two basil plants from Glen's garden & rehoused them in a large pot at our place where we could keep an eye on them for her.
On Tuesday, Glen was transported by ambulance to Daylesford Hospital, which made life easier for everyone, as her family didn't have to travel to Ballarat anymore. After a couple of chats with my aunt, Jeff, and my sister, Leanne, I headed to EKO for my first facial of the year & got a good report on my skin, which was very pleasing.
Also, this week, Judi & I met to play Mah Jong again after 7 weeks off. Dot was unable to join us, but we did enjoy a good catch up & played 4 interesting games - Judi won 2, I won 1 & we had no result in the final match.
We had been due to visit Rob & Dene & see their new home in Ballan on Friday morning, but when it was so wet & cold, we postponed until today & will be heading there, with Morse, after the Sunday Market.

These photos from 1982 have been running in the background on my desktop & I thought it would be fun to share them as I haven't been taking any garden or Morse photos this week!
