Don't joke about food with Snoopy, Charlie Brown
Once again, I have had to cancel things this week, in the hope I would be well enough for this busy and exciting few days coming up. Everyone was very understanding when I couldn't Zoom, especially as I was still coughing, and I took another cycle of prednisolone to see if that would help, which it did for a while.
Wes & Morse enjoyed doing the Daylesford Market last Sunday - Yvonne loves it when Wes does the shopping as he is much more adventurous than me, and spends more money at her stall. He asked Ken to hold Morse while he shopped, and they both had fun with that.
We were nervous about deliveries of our daily Age newspaper this week, as Steve has finally retired. In all our life in Daylesford, either Ken or Steve has delivered the newspapers, usually around 5.15am and usually as close as possible to the house. We have been very spoiled and when last Monday's paper didn't arrive until 10.30am, we were feeling very sad. However, there was an excuse of a car that broke down, and Tuesday's paper was there by 7am. The rest of the week has varied between 7.30 & 8.30am.
Wes presented me with the Maloney Cup after the Collingwood AFLW were too good for Carlton in our traditional clash
Finally, after 5 years, our wisteria - Double Japanese aka Black Dragon is blooming
The weather has been lovely this week, which has meant Wes has spent ages in the garden - weeding, trimming, mowing, staking, and finding new treasures each day. We are about to get some irises, the clematis has a new lease of life, all the rose bushes have buds, and the banksia rose & jasmine are happily covering the arches over the steps in the back garden. Our first rose has bloomed - the very beautiful Sir Donald Bradman, which is a very deep red hybrid tea rose with a stunning perfume.
Yesterday, we were both unwell, did RATs, which were negative, and had a very quiet day. I managed to pick a few winners on Caulfield Cup day, but took them in quinellas & trifectas, and didn't show a profit after an exciting day's racing. This morning, Wes is well enough to go to the Daylesford Market, but I'm going back to bed as I can't stop coughing, which is a real nuisance, especially after a fortnight. It's raining lightly, which is another reason to stay inside.
