Pa
Pa is back in hospital again. He turned 87 on the 8th. I haven’t been able to see him for a week because I had the flu again and didn’t want to expose him to it. I am worried about him.
Lovely Saturday Afternoon Visit
Visited Andy’s mum on Saturday afternoon. She’s had a delightful renovation done on her back veranda. I am very impressed. White rooms, floor, ceiling, walls, big windows, white mermot blinds and gorgeous red leather couches and mats. I should have taken a photo. That room was appealing. I had a divine and tasty lunch and was fed so well it brought back my nana’s cooking.
Saturday Night Taxi Service
My good friend Rhonda and I put their theatre room to good use whilst spending the time between depositing the young people at their parties and returning to get them home. We watched ‘Thank You for Smoking’. Possibly not a great choice for my quitting phase, yet it didn’t do too much damage.
Housework – Bare Minimum
Enough said. Changed the sheets, a touch of vacuuming – blah.
Reading
I started ‘Boys of Blood and Bone’ by David Metzenthen this weekend. I have a pile of good books again and I feel really good about that. When I had the flu, it came when my pile of books had been down to the last unread one. It was kind of scary. When I went to work/school on Friday, I ensured I visited the library and restocked my pile. I have one from the CBCA Awards list – an Elizabeth Honey, one of my favourites as well as the James Moloney sequel to ‘The Book of Lies’, ‘Master of the Books’. It’s helping with the pain of finishing Harry Potter.

Now I will go to bed early and read!
