Hello Ed, TY for the Mouse and Ruby seed. I would have loved the Grandfather Clock and I did gaze at it for some time. Asking price was $500 Aus dollars. Even came home and looked around the house however realistically no room for it. Regarding the astronauts in satellites circling the earth it must at times be quite boring however I find the whole concept of them seeing many mornings and nights in one day facinating. Late this afternoon I decided to relax on my bed and read the Miriam Margoyles book. At some point I fell asleep and when I woke it was dark outside. For a brief moment I wasn't sure what time it was and then I realised I was still fully dressed and hadn't had dinner. I recall a number of years ago having that same experience. I blame it on the so called Daylight Saving that is not really needed here down south of the world. Oh and it might have something to do with me being tired. Haha! I rallied and fed the cats and cooked dinner for myself and then cleaned up. Now I am ready to get into my PJ's and go back to the book. Enjoy your day!

TY, have a nice day

Good Morning Ed, TY for the mouse. I hope that you are enjoying 'Orbital'. It has been pouring down here all day. Despite that I filled up the boot of my car with children's books that I have rescued from my Op shop, DVD's and C.D's from Mum and 2 small collages of Brian's and headed to the Rotary Op Shop Warehouse in Rosebud. (10 minutes away). It is a huge warehouse that sells furniture but also collects other things for the smaller Op shop in the main street. I went in with one of my bags of DVD's and asked where do I leave donations and told him I had more in the car. The chap said, "Well we are not actually accepting donations at the moment as we are full. But hang on a moment I will check." He then consulted a lady and she looked at me and said, "We will take them as it is raining and I don't want you to get wet again unloading your car at home." I must have looked bedraggled. That was kind of her. Then the chap came out to my car and unloaded it. Another kind act. I went back into the warehouse to explore. It is impressive with lots of beautiful furniture. A large Grandfather clock caught my eye however  I didn't buy it as I would have nowehere to put it. Enjoy your new day!

Morning splash-- Decidely cold by any standards here at 0 this morning but the sun is shining. Don't think our heat is turned off yet but put a light blanket extra on the bed and poor Sagwa was a cold little ball on the end of the bed this morning but soon curled up beside me for a bit to get going this morning. I didn't watch the landing ,actually forgot about it and was in bedd reading(glad everything went well as they had not done one of those landings for awhile and they were leery. I didn't watch golf until the end,now that a number are weeded out it will not go so long. I don't know Rory seems to stumble a lot towards the end but having broke the jinx last year who knows and there is still 2 rounds to go. I don't know if Sheffler  is still waiting for the birth or the second child or not but his mind seems to not e on golf. Kevin played dart  but the other two just aimed them at the board occasionally, Husband and I did get in a dart league at the legion as I said but it was more for fun than going anywhere with it.Our darts were fair weight to them but certainly not what some people are using. Have a good day

Hello Ed, I did watch the re entry and landing as well as the Astronauts getting onto the boat. 
Wish that there was a closer shot of them. I sure it will come. Fairly sure that they would have been a bit wobbly after being away from Earth's gravity. I think that is information that I learned reading 'Orbital.' Now I am preparing for bed and a book. Sadly Collingwood lost last night. My friends told me that it was a dismal and low scoring game on both sides. Enjoy your day.

XXXXXXX
