Hello ED, well despite my pottering around I have acomplished a lot. Re. Day Light Saving I understand why the UK started doing it many years ago. Children walking home from school in the dark is not good. As for me way down south in the world it makes no sense.My daughter Hope who lives in Sydney once complained that the daylight hours here in Victoria are too long for parents trying to encourage children to bed. Haha first world problem. Now I will go back to pottering around.

Hello Ed, I have hired the Tree Lopper, however he cannot do the work until the 2nd week of January. I am pottering around that. It is cold here again and rained heavily this morning before I got up. I am glad that you enjoyed your social evening and hopefully didn't get too wet going there. Sleep tight.

Morning splash--golden dragon ty I am vacless for the weekend--it was making my leg sore and not even drawing a hint of moisture. So the nurse and I decided to just put the old type dressing on and see what happens(it is not sore this morning) and if it does drain any. It is nice not to be trailing all that tubing around and getting wound up in it by turning the wrong way. Also maybe I can do a few things without having to pull my walker closer or something when I try to reach things.We have rain and snow forecast but right now it is bright and sunny, Have a good day. I will have to do some cleaning before I even look for the Christmas stuff and nothing goes up until starting the 28th of Nov, Have a good day.

Hello Ed, TY ƒor the Mallard. I guess that I could put a net over the Olive tree. Re. the time distnce from here to Perth, Australia is a large continent and I don't think that they have so called daylight saving. I firmly believe that we shouldn't have it here in Victoria as well. Makes no sense to me. Who are we saving daylight for? Haha! Well I am really off to bed now. Enjoy your day....light.

Hello Ed, enjoy your time in Perth watching the cricket. They are about 3 or 4 hours behind my time in Victoria. I have had a scatty day. One moment I was changing paintings, then I would spot something to do in the garden. Never quite settled one one task. I did prune my Olive tree and managed to do some weeding. I love my Olive tree as do the birds. Last year the birds left me 12 olives. Not much I could do with that. Night is slowly falling and Mindy is trying to encourage me to allow her outside. That will not happen. It does amuse me that both cats stretch up to the door handle hoping to open it. Not possible. I will soon go to bed to hopefully enjoy a book. Just haven't found one that grabs me at the moment. Enjoy the cricket.

Hello ED, like you I do not put up Christmas decorations until the first week of Advent. I am having a quiet day at home today. Sleep well.

Morning splash-- It is slightly foggy this morning  but 6.6. It really does not make a difference to me other than the scenery outside. Why do they make the opening for the quilt to get in and out of--just to annoy you,but I guess so it inadvertingly doesn't slide out when you don't want it to. I am still close companions of a machine but getting used to it. Don't hear the weird noise much anymore unless I actually stop and listen. Going to plan a big expedition today--no one here but me co will try to get the garbage down and out. It is all flat and cement out there so should be easy!!!Have a good day

Hello Ed, once again we are at each other's gate. So good. Once again you gave me a great idea. I have a large , long chalkboard under my  car parking area. I also have large painting brushes that could be used to clean off the chalk drawings. It is covered in old chalk drawings. Fairly sure that I could enlist Sarah's Michael to sand it back as it needs it. He loves having a task. Then we can re paint it with chalkboard paint. The children may enjoy that.
The sun is almost setting and the cats are hanging around wanting dinner. So I will soon be inside dealing with them and oreparing txo snuggle in bed. Enjoy your new day.

Haha Ed. re changing quilt covers. Sometimes I think that I could be lost inside one. It doesn't help that Mungo always wants to join in on the fun. Enjoy your new day.
