Hello Ed, I guess that we were at each others farm gate. I am about to snuggle down and read a book. A much lighter read. 'The Tea Ladies of St Jude's Hospital' by Joanna Nell. I have really enjoyed 2 other books that she wrote. 'The Single Ladies of Jacaranda Retirement Village' (I LOVED that book) and also 'The Great Escape from Woodlands Nursing Home.'  Good night ED!

Hello Ed TY or another Mallard! That is strange about Sandra's missing hearing aid. Did the Hair dresser notice if she had it in? They surely would have. I guess that you have checked her bedroom and around the chair that she sits in knitting? Was there a loud noise the other day that could have caused her to remove it? I hope that you find it soon. Now I will soon be in bed to read a lighter book. Good Luck.

Hello Ed, TY for the Mallard. Mum called me an hour ago and she was perfectly fine about my non appearance. In fact she told me that is was all overwhelming as it was also my brother's wife's birthday celebration and there were many people there. Mum and I have settled on Wednesday at her unit for my visit. At least I know how to get there despite the detours. I just head towards the signs that say Dandenong and once there I can work it out. TTFN

Hello Ed, yes I finished the Dark Wild Dark Shore. I highly reccommend it! I didn't get to Cranbourne today as I was so confused by the detours. I really must get my phone set up on the dashboard so that I can read directions. Mum will have been kept busy by all of the others. I know that she was miffed by me not getting there. I could hear it in her voice. Mum has never driven a car. Oh well I will much prefer a quiet time with her during the week at her unit. Hopefully she will forgive me. In the meantime I was home for a video call from Shannon and his family and Hope also called me.

Good morning splash--It is bright this morning but no sun and the good part -no rain. I was awake at 3 for an hour or so but did manage to get back to sleep and then slept until 8:30 so hopefully I will make it through the day. Glad you have everything under control there,you sounded a bit frazzled so wondered if it was getting to be a full time job. I may go shopping for a few things with daughter tomorrow(Big shop will be next weekend with Kevin as he is able to carry all my goodies up to the apartment) Its nice you can get to see Jake play and you even have a ride so you are all good to go. A few little thing needing done around here then thats it for the weekend.Talked to Kevin and the rest of them yesterday and I don't think he is ready to get out of the bush yet--will go home tomorrow but he has all the stuff to get ready for back to work, no more playing with the turkeys!!! Golf is rather flat--no big enthusiasm on anyones part --so I been watch other things. Have a good day and enjoy yourself

Hello Ed, my plan is to join the family for a late lunch in Cranbourne. Bit nervous about the detours I will have to make due to major road works. I will soon be in bed to finish reading The Dark Shore. It has gripped me. Enjoy your day.

Little Bunny Foo Foo watered linnypoos's Garden but didn't spot anything. Hare today, goon tomorrow!

Thank you!:o)

Good morning splaash-- It is a nice sunny morning here and I am up and getting organized to go down and do the laundry before the nurse comes. Fid watch the golf but couldn't really get interested as for some reason not a lot of the people I wanted to see but maybe better today as some of them will be in the afternoon flight. Sounds like thing are starting to get a little harder--when you go out Do you have someone to keep an eye on Sandra so she doesn't go wandering or figure she has some other appointment.  Have a good day.

Hello Ed, Rae is actually a woman. I guess that her name is confusing. I have had dinner of a serving of my frozen home made Pea and Ham soup with a few pieces of toasted garlic bread. Always handy after working at the Oppie and quite tasty. Now I will soon be in bed to continue reading 'Wild Dark Shore.' I am gripped by the book. Facinated by the idea of researchers/ scientists staying on a remote island for months at a time to protect seeds for the world. Well it is a novel. So I will say goodnight to you and i hope that you enjoy your new day.
