Wishing everyone a good week.   As for myself, I'm suffering from an overdose of The Disney Channel.......

    Hope all is well, AQ. Thinking of you both.

    I've waited 2 hours to get on here...

    AQ: I laughed out loud at today's saying. So true... What a pain about the fence - and the color. A bright mural sounds like a great option. Hope OH is okay.

    Harelady: Good to see you. Sounds like a busy but pleasant time.

    Lindybird: That is one good-looking kid!

    Daughter continues to improve day by day.....

    I couldn't get the site to load at all last night and wasn't inclined to wait about...

    I know Haggis is not a tradition on St Andrew’s Day – but the day is a good excuse – and it was excellent, with a real whisky sauce, oaten tatties and neeps (plus brussels sprouts for extra goodness). A very normal chicken hotpot today which was also very good – maybe my appetite is returning at last – never knew why it diminished.

    ANNETTE – pleased your OH is coping so well, but your friend’s lack of attention must be a big disappointment as you worry about him. Glad you can keep in touch with Daughter via Facetime – I hope progress will continue as she must be hating the time in hospital alone, and it is a lot of driving for your Granddaughter too being to only one who can visit.

    LINDA – also our eldest grandson’s birthday again – age 32 I think! Lovely photo of your Tomasz.

    HARELADY – a lot of travelling about down there – hope nobody is in contact with any nasties. We are still staying well away from it all.

    AQ – next door’s efforts don’t sound very pleasant – a mural would be a good idea to cheer up your side of the fence. I hope your OH will be okay after the vaccination – they were very bad not keeping him sitting in for a while after it.

    J went for his blood tests today – three different parts of endocrinology. I have been preparing butcher orders for holiday joints – finally settled on pork for Christmas and beef for new year. OH had chosen beef for Christmas, but J doesn’t like it so much and I thought moving beef with bread sauce reduces the full plates on Christmas Day when we seem to have a bit of everything (although the pork will of course have apple sauce!). I am now going to start the Christmas newsletter, not that there has been any news this year, so it will be very short.

    Early morn here DownUnder. All is well with OH. No after-effects of jab. Phew. Thanks for your concern. I'll return later today.

    That's good to hear, AQ.

    It's much warmer here, but now it's wet. It's always something or other in the winter.

    The birthday boy had a good day, having been to school with a bag of sweets for his friends, and then his favourite chicken dinner tonight. We're going to visit on Saturday with presents and advent calendars.

    Noisy all day as piles of soil, debris, concrete drive & paths removed next door. Workmen seem to have finished for the day; OH is busy sweeping our paths, verandah, window sills, etc. I am wheezy from the dust.

    And then there were 18. After months of hardly any covid, our state has an outbreak from a school reunion last weekend. Afflicted is a former Premier, and in quarantine/isolation pending results of tests are pollies, the Governor & other lesser beings. They should have stayed home like us elderlies. Or at least worn masks.
