Hello Ed, TY for the Lovebirds. I am home again after my usual busy day. Our Monday Morning Coffee Club seems to be growing. 2 new members who have recently moved here from the USA. They came to the shop for coffee and were interested in our gathering and we invited them to join us. They really enjoyed themselves  and want to come back each Monday. Then a few hours later I was at the OP shop and another busy and enjoyable afternoon. Have a great day.

Morning splaash--golden dragon ty It is snowing again--when I looked out the window this morning I could not see anything  but white flakes coming down. It looks pretty but I would rather not have it just yet. I have a pot simmering on the stove with a chicken thigh i it so hopefully by supper time I have a pot of cream of chicken soup(it will probably do a few days)I haven't got any further that to so rt of look to see what it in each box or bag here in the pile in the corner but I guess maybe I should try to get some of it sorted and out of the way. Have a good day and enjoy your outing.

Oh and I have NEVER heard the terms Blue Job and Pink Job.

Hello Ed, TY for the Golden Dragon. I am up later than usual as I was captivated my a show on our ABC about a competition re. portrait artists. Re. Dad, no I never saw him boxing. Only photos. One of his rewards was a musical pagoda that you could place cigarettes in and they all popped up at different times. Mum and Dad smoked in those days so I had plenty of cigarettes to put into it. Totally facinated me as a child. It had a wind up mechanism like a music box.  I have forgotten the tune that it played and not sure what happened to it. It does seem strange now that a trophy awarded for sport encouraged smoking. I will soon be in bed as it is now well past my bedtime. Once again it is raining here. Have a great day.
