Hello Ed, TY for the Mallard. My advice for Tracey re. retirement is to firstly find a local coffee shop and then greet people as you walk. Sometimes a dog will help. Not sure if she wants one however I always greet the dog coming towards me and then get to know the owners. A routine is essential. Next step is volunteering as you know that I have done this. I really could have done the same had I chosen to remain in Thornbury, inner suburb of Melbourne. There was a coffee shop around the corner that I often walked to and got to know regulars. And then for Tracey is finding something that she really wants to do and join a club. Retirement is a new way if living.

Hello ED, re. the shower. I will discuss it with Sarah on the weekend. Quote is now in. $6000.
As for Tom Katz, Lynne and I had a wonderful time there. We did dance quite a lot. No photos. I didn't go to Art Group today as I need to prepare for Sarah's visit. Enjoy your new day.

Morning splash--peace dove ty I am all set again--Son-in-law came over last night brought me a loaf of bread,a box of cat litter and put the new back rest strapon my walker.grandson came with him and fixed my tv(when I turned it off the other night must have hit a wrong button as it came on but was stuck on movie selections. Ryley also brought me the autographed puck from the playoff series they one--I do have a few weird things in my collections but they all have meaning. ) A few chores today and the nurse is due today too.Hope the food shop went well and you only got what you needed--they tell me I am only eating for one and should restrict my shopping. Have a good day

Hello Ed, TY for the White Mouse. I have been wondering if you have Long Covid. Like you I am not getting into my new book. I am also thinking about putting it down and selecting another one from my huge pile of books to be read. Night is now falling and the cats want to come inside so it is Good night from me. Hugs.

Hello ED, the cats and I are enjoying a quiet day. I did go to the supermarket and filled my car up with petrol as price hikes are predicted due to the war. That  cold of yours is certainly lingering. What are yoiu taking for it? Sarah messaged me earlier asking if she nd her family could come on the weekend as it is a long weekend. I will look forward to their visit. Enjoy your new day.

Morning splash-- Yes I did watch the collapse of Lowrey yesterday. The bear trap got him--two holes and he was down after leading by 3 but Ecavarria did pull it out with a good shot on 17. Soon we will have somemore competative golf. Not much happening here--sunny but -12 and cold warning out for later in the week but March is like a yo-yo here --up and down all over the place. I hope the new cafe pans out for you. Have a good Monday
