Morning splash--mallard ty. It is nice and sunny and -8 this morning but the big problem is the ground is all white. We got more snow overnight but don't think it will last too long--unless we get more and lo and behold it is really snowing at the moment. Kevin aparently made out alright yesterday but he was totally exhausted by the time he got home. Haven't heard yet how he slept but did say he has a sore stomach from all the coughing. But think he tamed the worst of it over the weekend. I have a bunch of jobs that need doing but question is which ones to start at!! Not to be picky but I rarely ate what my husband cooked--he seemed to dump everything in and hope for the best. Have a good day and good luck with the grocery   shopping.

Hello Ed, I hope that your friend Kev's return home improves. He is lucky that his wife accepted him back. I had a great day starting with my usual walk around the corner for coffee. A lot of my friends arrived there at the same time so we sat and chatted. Then I went and visited Mum. She told me that she is worried that she is not ready to leave the Respite Hospital on Friday. She wondered if she was being a wimp. That was not the word she used. I reassurred her she was not a wimp and should tell all of us how she feels / thinks. Mum hates offending anyone and will often hide wht she is really feeling. As my brothers and a nephew seem to be arranging things and I have not been consulted even though I am the oldest, she felt safe telling me. In many ways I am happy that I have not been consulted as Mum feels safe confiding in me. She never wants to offend the people who are trying to help her. If a family member gives her a piece of furniture that she really doesn't want or like she quietly tells me although accepts it. I pointed that out to her and she smiled saying "Dianne, you know me so well." Naturally all of the family love her and are trying to help. Sometimes they should ask the question, "Is this what you want?" Rather than deciding for her with all of the best intentions. I am now trying to set up a chat group with my brothers and nephew. Not sure how but asked my younger brother to do it. It would save numerous and missed phone calls. Now time for me to reheat my leftover dinner from last night. Enjoy your day.

Morning splash--Very chilly start to the week but sunny and -2. There was very little on sports wise yesterday that I could watch so ended up watching the end of golf-- it seemed like it really dragged and no one could quite catch Spaun. Just hope the Masters is a little more lively and they leave some of the commentators at home.Kevin I think managed to go to work this morning as last night he said he just had the cough but wasn't sure how long his energy would last. If your invited someplace for dinner then the conversation should be there afterwards but if your invited for some big sporting event then it would be the tv on.Have a good day enjoy your meander to town.

Hello Ed, my head is nodding. I got your messages. You asked me about tea. I only have a cuppa when I work at the Op shop just to be sociable. I am always content with my morning cup of good coffee. Then it is usually water for me. Now and again I enjoy a herbal tea. I googled Camp Eureka and enjoyed looking at the site. Many changes since I was last there. Little known fact, when I first went there with the school family camp I was sitting at the river and chatting with the lady who arranged the camp and she said to me,"Dianne have you ever considered teaching?" She, Caroline,  planted the seed. I will always remember that conversation. Now after my usual busy Monday I have fed myself with a Frozen dinner, Chicken Kiev, always yummy. Cats inside long ago as no more daylight saving and I will soon be in bed with a book. Enjoy your day.
