Hello ED, that game must has engaged little ED. Home again after visiting Mum. As usual an enjoyable visit. I had a tin of Derwent coloured pencils for her that came into the shop but could not be sold as many of them were used and quite short. Demonstrated how to colour in softly using the edge of the pencil rather than the point. Driving home using the freeway rain started teeming down. I had the wipers on high and still had trouble seeing the lanes. I hate driving in those conditiions but there was nowhere to pull over. Thankfully it only lasted about 10 minutes and cleared up. Home now and I can hear Thunder so guessing that we are in for another storm. Enjoy your day.

Good morning splash--It is 2 and raining so I guess no snow today which is a good thing because it would probably be freezing rain. I had some day yesterday--first off I stripped my bed of everything and went down and washed everything(except the pillows) I all went well and it was not busy so I was able to use 3 dryers(1 each for each of the quilts and then one for the rest of the stuff. All went well then back upstairs and try to make the bed with a cat in the middle.finally got it done and so feed him then get myself some lunch and try and finish the gardens. Then the parade of equipment and medical supplies started. By suppertime I had 5 boxes piled in my living room. In the middle of all that Sagwa's groomer came --so I am safe from the claws again. "Vac dressing" is a machine that is put on my leg with a tube with holes in it over the surgery/wound on my thigh. It has a low vaccuum and plugs in,thus sucking the excess fluid out of my leg. It speeds healing and is on most likely for about 5-7 days. It does have a power source that I have to lug around if I want to move that apparently they say is an over the shouldar bag to carry it. We shall see if the bother is worth it. Off to get busy and get the garbage down this morning then will see about some thought of meals and I guess just carry on with my day. I watched the golf from Burmuda and Hadwin was leading--I think it is a lot of the 25 from the Korn Ferry tour that moved up to PGA and are trying to gain a few points before the big guns return so they can keep their card, Have a good day and I hope you can retrieve the puzzle(maybe seen as they know you explain how the error occured and maybe you can just have it back.

Haha! Ed, my King?

Hello Ed, we are once again at each other's gate. What do you have on your toast?  I like Vegemite and sometimes marmalade or peanut butter. Dinner now done. Leftovers reheated in the microwave that Shannon would not approve of. My neighbour next door, who is building the fence that I really do not want helped me to trim my apricot tree this afternoon. It is on the fence line. He even took the huge cuttings into his garden to get rid of so that I didn't have to. Night is falling now and I will soon be in bed. Enjoy your day.

Hello Ed, TY for the White mouse. Good grief your shift work must have been terrible. I cannot imagine what it would have been like. However I guess that is what you had to do to
earn a living. It has been a lovely Spring day here and I have been quite busy gardening and washing. I have a small air fryer and sometimes use it. My son Shannon when he used it loved it  as he and his wife do not use a Microwave. I should use it more as it would most likely keep my kitchen cleaner. I generally cook on the stove top. I hope that Tracey is having a better day. I am sure that she will be exhausted after baking cakes and catering for a funeral.  Give her a hug from me even though shez doesn't know me.

Morning splash--Off down to get some laundry done as apparently tomorrow they are going to put on a vac dressing so will not be going anywhere lugging a machine. I have had them want to put it on over the years but it never appeared in time to do its job--so we shall see. Laundry tires me out but its not real pgysical and I take my book and sit and read or visit with others.Not much exciting news around here--same old every day but I guess that is good as I don't get into trouble that way. I found out years ago that I can't fly so won't be trying that again. Have a good day and stay out of trouble.

Hello Ed, TY for the Peace Dove. We are at each other's garden gate at the moment. It is just after 8 pm here. I am waiting for the sun to go down so I can go to bed. Mornings I only get up when the sun has risen. If I wake before that I pretend to be asleep so the cats don't expect to go outside. And I usually drift off again. I did not like having to wake when it was still dark to get ready for school during daylight saving. So yesterday you did upstairs duties and today downstairs. You are a good husband. Brian always cooked for me but never really did any cleaning. Well coming home after school and not having to think about cooking was good. I haven't read The Rules of Civility. I will be really interested in what you think about it. I keep hoping it will appear at the shop but so far it hasn't. If you enjoy it I may have to order it. Wishing you a great day as I will soon get ready for bed.
