11th jan M.  Going to reach 35C today. So I must bustle on.
By 7AM I had my breakfast , done both crosswords, got the washing done and hung out to dry and started today's shopping list.
Vad up and breakfasted by half eight and away I go.
Get some owed pills from the chemist. Got cash money for both of us from the ATM. Rolled around Woolworths. Even getting prawns and potato salad.
It ended up to  be quite a heap. the young male checkout asked me if I had bought the shop.
Next to get bread and a custard scroll.
Quite a few young accompanied children about besides us pensioners/
And home I go.
Unload and  put away the stuff. Always makes my quads ache. I'm a bit stiff and sore from the weights and the branch cutting.
Coffee followed by a comfy nap/
Lunch was a prawn sandwich for me and Vad had ham, tomato and cheese sandwich
Now is the time for idleness, it is getting greyer outside.
Australia still burns. As is the custom.
The temperature climbs into the thirties.
so rest in the cool bedroom makes sense.
I do water Vad's sunflowers, the rhubarb etc and put out water for passing birds.
Later I get the salad ready. takes time but then is tasty and filling (very) . I have a bit of a lie down afterwards.
