Morning splash--I am up--it was garbage pick up morning--some times hardly hear the truck and the dumping but this morning it sounded like a five car pileup down there. Bet the driver must have bounced the dumpster off the top of the truck half a dozen times(must have been crammed full and didn't want to empty!!) Yes we had a few of those disasters of towing the kids around on a lot of things--think it was mainly on a sled behind the snowmobile that was the one most apt to dump the kids off in a snowbank.As you might know--I stocked up last week but things I want are on sale this week so Kevin being the good son is coming over after work and we will make a quick trip and get that stuff.Have a good day

Hello Ed, my adult children would have gone bonkers  with sounds coming from decorations. The Grandies would Love it. Not sure that I would like that Santa face coming at me. Dinner done. It as a mix of leftovers. It is in the low 30's today. Afternoon shift at the charity store and thankfully the store has A/C. Unusually not many donated books so I concentrated on the cd's. I have to open each one and make sure that they are not copies as we cannot sell them. A customer asked me, "Do many people buy cd's nowadays? "  They sure do. Then she told me that she enjoys classical music and happily I had them sorted on the top shelf. She left the store with about 4.  I wish that I had more time to sort the cd's. Enjoy your day.

Hello Ed, here in Australia we no longer make cars. I think that GMH was the last to close down. I did love my Commodore that I drove for many years. Now I love my small Mazda. Goinig to make dinner now. I will get back to you after.

Duck. Ty

Good morning Ed
Hope you had a good night's sleep
I had a terrible night's sleep. Only got about 3 hours.
I will be wrecked later
Have a good day, stay warm

Mouse thanks

Splashed--field mouse ty. It is a dark dreary morning out there but we must have go frost as the roofs are all white. I am up earlier so I can get down and get the laundry done. I seem to have a bigger basket full than normal. You might know --after I stocked up last week a bunch of stuff that I can use is on sale this week--maybe I can suggest for someone to pick up my list of stuff or even take me(but that could backfire and I buy too much) Maybe what you need for your beer is a sturdy little wagon to put the container in so you could take it outside  when you go to bottle--I have a little flat moving cart that we get quite a bit of use out of for moving things. Have a good day--off to get at the laundry.Have agood day

Good morning Ed
Another cold one. The pond is frozen! Going Dogwalking in a while. I thought it would be too cold for their paws but my friend said it would be ok.
Cleaned my kitchen cupboards out this morning and threw away out of date stuff.
Have a good day, stay warm

Evening Sprinkles

Hello Ed, TY for the White mouse. When I was a child Holden had a large factory in Dandenong. However they sold out to the USA. I loved my Commodore that I drove for many years. Now I drive a Mazda. I may have told you we are heading into a few days of heat wave. Today was a comfortable day that I spent pottering around. Walk to the shop around the corner for coffee. Reading, Supermarket for a few things, reading, a bit of gardening, reading, and going through my drawers to clear out clothing that I will no longer wear, reading, then dinner and clear up. Now writing to my friends such as you, and night is falling. I wonder if you can guess my next activity when I go to bed? Have a great day.I may have told you we are heading into a few days of heat wave. Today was a comfortable day that I spent pottering around. Walk to the shop around the corner for coffee.
