24th Jamn Sn. About 6AM I drive to the newsagent as is the Sunday custom. Needed the headlights just.
Bought Vad's two magazines and the Age newspaper ( for its crossword only). As well I remembered to buy computer ink and got a birthday card that Vad anted., Some of the birthday cards are real rude. But I got a fancy posh one.
I got most of the crossword done by the time I got Vad up for her breakfast.
Another ditto day - IE grey cloudy and about 21C.
At Vad's 'suggestion' I put the big sheets through the washing machine and later hung them out to dry.
I thought my aches and pains had eased but they returned about 2PM. So I looked up and found the kind of advice I wanted. Rx= No weights for a whole week.
We both have finished the crossword. Not so hard this week.
Lunch was beans on toast for me (there was a time when I almost lived on this) and Vad had pumpkin soup. Don't like this myself.
Together  we renewed the bed. Putting pillow cases on pillows is not as easy as you might think.

The Age had an odd article about an eighty year old couple still  working their farm when all about them real estate was blooming.

I watered some of Vad's garden plants  and her early sun flowers but the flies got me in the end.

The media keeps trying to reassure us as how the markets are really ok. So things must be dodgy.

Dinner was chicken schnitzel, tatoes, peas and gravy. Real good. I like this kind of schnitzel.
I've taped (temporarily) 'seven brides for seven brothers'. This goes back a bit. High quality cliches
