Hello ED, I enjoyed the Monday Morning Coffee Club today. I shared my problem re. my neighbour next door wanting to put up a wooden fence and expecting me to pay half. $4550. It is a long fence. The Coffee Club all agreed that if the existing fence is fine then I do not have pay anything. My neighbour across the road also told me the same thing and Sarah sent me an official site regarding fencing and who has to pay. If the existing fence is sound I can refuse. It is and I did. I don't want to be boxed in by high fences blocking out my view of the coastal trees. If I wanted to be boxed in by fences I could have remained in Thornbury. The neighbours house is a holiday house. I really like them however this may make our relationship strained. They want to replace the fence and I don't. I have lost sleep over this. However I have told them, by email, that I cannot afford it as I have higher priorities to spend my money on. The ball is now in their court. If they really want to box themselves in they are going to have to pay for it. I will let you know wht transpires.

Good morning Ed

I must admit, if I wrote my memoirs,  only the good bits will go in.
Very soggy bbq yesterday. We stayed outside under the gazebo as long as possible.  Jim's sister refused to bring the cake out, so we had to go in for that.
Liz and Ed are in the lake district. All this wind has meant they can't get back across at the moment.
Hope you have a good Monday. I'm guessing your walk into town has been rained/wind off.

Morning splash--Another nice sunny start to the day and it is what you call fresh at the moment but will warm up again later. Yesterday it was almost turn on the a/c as it got quite muggy. I have a feeling that tracy was more enthralled with the surroundings that the baseball game--a lot of people are as that is quite the stadium and since they just redid it there is lots to see besides what is on the playing field and the atmoshere is really electric in there. Today I have a few small chores to get to(didn't get to them yesterday as was on the phone again)and then hopefully get a supper that I can get to eat. Have a good Sunday

Good morning Ed
Wow you sister must have a lot of diaries.
I started a diary in 1988. I was 28. Not sure where they all are.  In the loft I think
Chilly start today
We are going to my neice's 18th birthday party. It was supposed to be a BBQ, but I think we will be inside.
Have just started The great escape from Woodlands book
Have a smashing day

Hello Ed, oh we also have knife attacks here! It is crazy! And machettes seem to be the thing. Our ridiculous state government has spent a lot of money placing machette bins around so the criminals can freely give them up. As if? What they really need to do is change the bail laws and penalise the usually, young offenders. Out on bail and still offending and no penalty does not make sense to me. On a lighter note I loved the photo of Sandra with the cat on top of her. Sandra did not look happy about the photo being taken. The cat obviously loves her. Enjoy your day.

Hi Ed
Yes, we still have Dr Watson. No one seems to want a black cat.
Did loads of washing. Wrote my diary up from notes I took. Dealt with emails.
Now cooking dinner. Jim and Tasha went to football ⚽️.
Have a good evening

splashed--It is bright but no sun yet this morning and looks like a little foggy haze out there. So far the glasses are working right and no eye problems. Put them on and went around with them on until bedtime and back on this morning. Boy did I sleept well last night--I,like I said would wander around the store,get Sagwa some more food and pick up some fresh stuff for salad . I did all that(and it is a huge store) but bought Sagwa's  food by the box fill which had to sit on the seat of my walker which meant I could not sit on it so I went and sat down and had lunch in MacDonalds for a treat for me. Came home and unloaded then got a call from the doctors office that the swab from my leg came back I had an infection and he wanted me on antibiotic. He had faxed a prescription to my pharmacy but being late in the day no deliveery until Mon afternoon. So asked if daughter and SIL could pick it up for me--no they would take me and we would go to the gtocery store for the things I wanted/needed. Two outings did me totally in --so Sagwa and I were in bed by 8pm and I only  rolled out her at 8am--so hopefully that is catching me up. Have a good day, I am sure Tom will have enjoyed the tour of the stadium and because it was sunny the roof would have been open(it is quite impressive.
