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.

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Cleaned my kitchen cupboards out this morning and threw away out of date stuff.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

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.

Hello Ed, it is acrylic painting that I will attempt despite the teacher saying oils are easier. Brian always preferred acrylics. John, the teacher said that water colour was the hardest medium. Hmm. that is what we always taught in Steiner  Primary school. I had a chuckle at the idea of your Santa playing the saxaphone. I have a Rudolph doing the same thing. I somehow think that your Santa is as old as my Rudolph. The little ones have always enjoyed it. Not so the adults apart from me. The first Sunday of Advent is when I will put up my Christmas decorations.
