26th Feb F. Will it rain nor not? anyway I got the washing machine going about 6:50AM. Then had my coffee and toast.
After Vad is up and I've got the washing hung out on the Hill's hoist to dry - we arrange for the shopping.- a list for the chemist, butcher and Woolworths.
And away I go. All runs fairly smoothly. Except in Woolworths , when a carton of milk fell from the shelf and exploded near me. Luckily someone sorted this out.
Home to unload and store the vitals. Then have coffee
Vad is going to a friends birthday thing at lunch time. So I have a short nap.
Then I drive her to the 'Italian club'. As always parking is tricky and as always Vad makes light of it.
Home i go the low traffic way. For lunch I have a bacon sandwich and a sausage. Not got the energy for cooking.
Outside it is rather overcast.  I put out old bread in the back garden for the passing birds.
It seems that Australia is going to spend real money on 'defence '.
But more likely to fulfill a supportive role when China and the USA start eyeing each other. 
I picked up Vad from her coterie of ancient females
(it was the birthday of one of then =aged 90) at the Italian Australian club. I can just remember when it opened. There were a lot of Italians about here back then.
Home we drive. Having to do 40Kph to protect non visible children.
Vad has a nap  and I nave a shower. And bring in the dried washing.
Very  grey overhead. Then we both have coffee and a small custard tart.
Now Vad is sorting out the sausages (21 thin beef) that I bought this morning.

I did this and that .
dinner was good - schnitzel, tatoes, peas and gravy. Yum!
