Good morning splash--The sun is up again and we are starting at 16 so maybe I can get around to sitting outside for a bit . But probably not as I forgot some bananas on the counter so have to make some banana loaf,I have to figure out what I want to eat,which lately seems to be a problem as by the end of the day not much appeals to me It seems you are getting better at reading Sandra's moods and then you can have good days(guess if she is talking about the other Ed you will find out what you did right all these years!!) Hopefully they can figure out something so the load does not fall on your shoulders alone. Have a good day.
Sagwa is now sound asleep in front of me!!

Hello Ed, TY for the Peace Dove. I run the dishwasher every 3 or 4 days except when I have family staying here, then it is usually everyday. Re. Debra Byrne. I still have the dress. I am thinking about donating it to the Melbourne Museum of Performing Arts. I lost contact with her over the years but have recently become friends with her on F/B. She was a big star here starting her singing career on a local TV show, 'Young Talent Time.' as a teenager. She went onto greater fame due to her amazing voice. In my opinion her greatest performances was in the musical 'Cats.' She played Grisabella and I think that her rendention of the song Memories is the best ever. We all loved her here in Australia. Sadly she has had a troubled life after all her fame and is now trying to rise above it. I think that I will now google her act in Cats. and then go to bed to continue reading my book. Wishing you a good day. HUGS

Hello Ed, TY for the Yellow Wagtail. It will be great to hear from Evelyn again. How do you contact her? Did Kevin send you his input into our English spelling chats? Bow, bough etc. It is just going 5 p.m. here and night is now falling. I had to rush to put the bins out. And it is too cold to sit outside listening to the surf. The only water noise I can hear is from the dishwasher. Wishing you a good day!

Hello Ed, I won't be seeing Mum this weekend as I have a lot to do to prepare the house for Arja's visit. Bt the way Arja's name sounds like 'Arsha.'  It is an unusual name and the only other one I know is the one that Arja was named after. When I was married to David we lived in Camberwell and one of our neighbours was Debra Byrne an Australian singer. Debra's oldest daughter was Arja. Sarah and Arja became great friends as did Debra and myself. Her other daughter was on the spectrum and would only allow me to brush her hair. Funny story... one morning I woke, opened my eyes and there was Debra standing next to my bed with a brush and Lauren. It seemed that they had an early appt. that morning and Shannon must have let them in. Debra and I often enjoyed a glass of wine together and one day when I was at her house she played a Tony Bennet record and we both started dancing. The Debra said, "Hold on a minute." Popped into her bedroom and came back wearing a beautiful gown / stage costume and holding another one out for me to put on. I did so immediately. Then she gifted it to me. I still have it! Now back to my house work. Enjoy your day.

Morning splash--It is another nice bright start to the day, although it really cooled off at night and is only climbed to9 so far. It really sounds like your whole life is going upside down and your old routine is out the window. But long as you can keep things calm until more is figured out I guess it will be alright. Too bad you have to miss the BBQ as you really like them and it would be a chance of a meal without having to cook it. I guess I will spend a quiet day as every one is busy it seems.but thats good because my stomach is upset(either something I ate or all the  chaos at the beginning of the week.  I hope you can have a good day and the sun keeps shining.

Hello Ed, Arja has just told me that they will be arriving late Thursday! So I have to get my act together preparing the house. She also told me that the children do not know about their visit to me and doesn't plan telling them until they work it out in the car! It seems that both Chace and Bailee have been asking to come and visit me! Now I will go off to bed and try and rethink  my week, or perhaps just to watch something on Netflix? Enjoy your day!
