13th Dec Sn. At about 6AM I drive to the newsagent to get the two magazines, postage stamps and the Age newspaper but not the Herald - (Vad says there is nothing to read in it on Sundays).
We only get the Age because it has a good crossword which we both do a bit competitively.
Home for breakfast, help Vad with pills and try to  get a head start on the crossword.
Alas this week it is rather harder than usual. Later Vad finds the same.
I run the two large bed sheets plus pillow cases through the washer. then hang them out to dry. It ids a promising day for this.
I fill a wheelie bin with cut up (using the big shears)  branches for emptying on Wednesday.And I water some plants. A lot more of this waiting.
After having coffee we both agree that the crossword  is harder than usual.
Later I use the Internet to cheat. Vad doesn't know  how to do this as she wont use a computer.
And I finish the crossword. Vad has almost done it.
Words like 'Ding Dong' really shouldn't be in crosswords.
After lunch We both put new big sheets etc on the bed. Vad must be careful in view of her left shoulder.
I feel real tired and my quads ache a lot. So I have a lie down. At 3PM Vad has her usual nap.
'Sleep' that unravels something as bill Shakespeare said
I do some hedge trimming and plant watering.
Dinner was fancy soup for Vad and thick soup for me
