Happy Fathers' Day - Morse was very thoughtful to Wes and gave him a card & book - hope all the Daddies are being well looked after today.
Last Sunday was quiet after the initial excitement of the Market, pumping mineral water, making deliveries etc. I watched footy most of the afternoon, and we were both surprised when Carlton couldn't beat Greater Western Sydney after starting off well. We now have a weekend with no AFLM, which is the perfect time to start AFLW.
On Monday, we decided to use School to see if we could solve our laptop issues. This wretched, brand-new laptop has been back to Lenova, and returned to us, and we still can't use it. After an hour of trying, we decided to issue an ultimatum - fix it or replace it!

I was thrilled on Tuesday to be able to chat with my aunt, Jeff, in Lincolnshire, on what was her birthday night. She was resplendent in a tiara, (bought for a Coronation party), and looked very well and happy, and back to her usual self, after six weeks of being so unwell with a rotten virus. Afterwards I caught up with Leanne, after not being able to Zoom with her last week, and she was also looking good and feeling positive.
Wes and I decided that I would stop taking Naltrexone that day as doubling the medication had only made me feel more tired. We are both disappointed that it hasn't been helpful, but, after three months, and no improvement to energy levels, it is time to move on.
Judi & I met for breakfast at Muffins & More on Wednesday morning before Dot arrived to play Mah Jong. We hadn't seen Dot for a while, so it was good to catch up and have a few games together.
Wes had a huge Wednesday, leaving home early to visit Leanne for an hour, before driving to Fitzroy to pick up Gayle Gibson and take her to lunch at the Kent Hotel, Carlton, where she was the surprise guest. It was a great catch up with Robert Preston, Danny Millman, Squiz Murray, Malcolm Stevenson & Tom Tyrrell. Wes left Gayle there after lunch and made his way home via Brunswick Shopping Centre, where he bought some tuna steaks, which he likes to curry on Tuesday nights.
The next day, Wes had his fortnightly chat with Overseas Friends, discussing Immigration, and I had a much more low-key catch up with Old Friends, where we talked about old knitting books & patterns, as Kathy had been given a bundle of them. After that I headed off to Hepburn to see Juls for a manicure, and she had a surprise for me - Magpie & Snoopy stickers - I'm now wearing one of each!
On Friday, after a good chat with Leanne, and my daily visit to Glen, I headed into town for a big shop at Tonna's, and collected some RATs from Council, where boxes of 5 are available for free. Les has been here most days working on our downstairs bathroom, which needs some tiles replaced as well as the grouting. He is quiet, polite, and always make a fuss of Morse, so he is the perfect person to have in the house.
Yesterday we drove Judi & Michael in sunshine to Blackwood to have lunch at the boutique Garden Room Restaurant there. It lived up to all our expectations with stunning food, paired with wonderful wines. There were only 18 patrons and we had the best table, by the water. We all enjoyed our meals, and had a lovely time sharing stories and celebrating Judi & Michael's 30th Wedding Anniversary.
The AFLW has started off not so well for the Magpies, but the Blues had a narrow win against the Gold Coast yesterday. Some of the newest sides are still struggling to match it with the more experienced ones, but they are doing their best, and it is wonderful to see good, noisy, supportive crowds at all the games.
