Well, it's good to be connected to the rest of the world again. Telephone and internet came back on Sunday night. The first we knew of it was the phone ringing, and it was such an alien sound, we ignored it for a bit thinking it was on the tv. It was Annie, who had seen me update my blog and thought I was back online.........however I had been using Keryn's borrowed mobile wireless modem to get online for that.
Monday morning I ended up taking Katie to the airport early to catch a flight to Sydney for the Miss World Australia contest. Then back to pick up Betty to take her to Bunnings to look at their range of native plants. That was fatal........so now I have a whole lot more to plant. Discussed the idea with her of our plant society having an afternoon down there to promote our group, and to talk to people about the way to grow the plants, conditions etc. She agreed it was a good idea if we could get Bunnings to support us as a local group.
Yesterday was tennis day. We played the Uniting Church team at Diamond Creek on mod grass. We got off to a bad start unfortunately, and never really caught up. I ended up winning 2 sets and losing 2 (badly).........not much new there. Was a beautiful day though, really glorious conditions. Came home and actually planted a few things in the garden. Then had to get ready for our committee meeting last night, which went well..........meaning we finished early for a change! They liked my idea of collaborating with Bunnings, so now it is up to me to approach them to see if they will allow us to do it.
Am off to work again today, till 8-45, when I go out to the airport to collect Ann, who is fast-tracking her plans here in case she has to go to NY early - her daughter Jo has been admitted to hospital with early contractions. She will only be with us overnight. Then we have a quick game of tennis in the morning, before I drive her over to stay with Ian and Natalie and the grandchildren. I have work again tomorrow afternoon.
Neil is working hard to get everything ship-shape here before he goes north again on his camping trip - lots of repairs, and pruning happening. I think he is waiting till all is settled with Probate too with his mother's estate. He is only waiting now on the English account to come over - shouldn't be more than a few weeks, by the time letters get there and come back again hopefully.
Had an enjoyable Indian meal on Monday night at Bhoj Restaurant with John and Wendy - making use of our Entertainment Book again. Was nice to see them again - pity they haven't had time to stay a little longer. Managed to help John sort out a few issues with his computer.........very nice little Mac. Have to get to work - will put photos on later.
