Not much news this week. Only 1 day at work, Wednesday and a 1/2 day Thursday night. Quite busy on Wednesday, and quiet but steady Thursday night. Managed to get a bit of the holds list done that night for a change.
Tuesday was a good tennis day, brilliant weather, and a very good win - in fact we were so far ahead that the opposition forfeited the last 2 sets, as they were nursing several injuries (it was 1 lady's first time back after a hip replacement!) Thursday's tennis was a different story - again, lovely weather, but after 4 sets each it was a draw, so we may as well have not played, except the exercise was good for us.
Managed to get a few more plants in this week, so now have to run around with our recycled/collected water and keep a bit of water up to them. We have been promised rain this weekend, but apart from being cloudy and a few spots last night, nothing has eventuated yet.
Neil and I watched Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress on dvd last Sunday night, and thoroughly enjoyed it, even though it was subtitled rather than dubbed. Wonder what the book is like......has anyone read it? There was another one someone told me about at the library the other night, which they recommended the book over the film, but I can't remember it now. Mmm, wonder if it will come back to me?
Anzac Day yesterday. Am always surprised that new stories keep emerging each year from families and historians. Quite interesting to hear the story around the French town Villers-Bretonneux. And interesting that they kept the memorial service for families of the crew of HMAS Sydney to Thursday, separate from Anzac Day.
