We had a very quiet Sunday after the Market. I was tired from our big day at the footy the day before, and spent much of the day reading The Age, doing crosswords, catching up on footy and staying awake! It was a "dreary" day according to the weather bureau - perfect for staying home and doing very little!
The first fire of 2024
When the cat's away.....
On Monday morning, it was too wet to walk, as there had been a fair amount of rain and wind. After shopping, we had School, where we sorted out the remaining details of our upcoming Dog Holiday in Rye next month, and our Test Cricket holiday in Adelaide in December. We also discussed what impact the future closure of bigpond email will have for us. During COVID, we moved just about everything over to gmail, but I will check what hasn't been changed and make sure we are ready when bigpond disappears.
Morse wondering where all the leaves came from 🤣

I found myself having an early night with head cold symptoms and spent Tuesday very quietly, apart from my usual Zoom chat with Leanne. She needs a new mobile and I had a lot of Telstra Rewards points to use, so we were able to find a phone that suited her and put my points towards it.
Wednesday was spent quietly as well. Judi was very understanding that I wasn't up to Mah Jong, and the sun shone, in spite of the cold, for much of the day, while I read the Age, did Crosswords and Logic Puzzles and read crime fiction, mostly with Morse's company.
By Thursday morning, I was starting to feel better, and enjoyed an early Zoom with Terry Borg, (with far too much footy talk for her liking I am sure), followed by a great catch up with Kathy, who was the only one of my Old Friends able to Zoom. We discussed the funeral of her friend, Dorothy Hamilton, which had been held the day before, and finally solved the puzzle of why Verey Funeral Directors, Daylesford, were in charge of the occasion. Andrew Nuske, who runs Vereys, was one of Dorothy's grandsons.
On Friday night, Collingwood played Freo at the Perth Stadium, at the unfriendly timeslot of 8.10pm our time. We had quite a few inexperienced players and I was delighted when we were able to salvage a draw at the very end, when Freo was on a roll. Needless to say it was a late night and we had a sleep in yesterday until 6am. Morse was very happy with a run at Daylesford Cemetery, followed by a bath, a bone and lots of lying around in the sun.
Wes headed off late morning to the Docklands to see Carlton host the Gold Coast Suns at a lunchtime timeslot, which was very manageable. He caught the train to Southern Cross station and arrived in plenty of time to get a pie & sauce! Carlton had a good win, and he thoroughly enjoyed his outing, especially when he arrived back here to find a home-cooked fruit cake.
