On my walk this morning the stall holders were setting up for the monthly market held in the Puffing Billy station. It didn't open till 9am so I decided to come back later and maybe buy some some vegies. So I went back home and took Lib breakfast in bed ( OJ, bowl of fruit- cantelope, mandarin, kiwi fruit and passionfruit, and followed by toasted fruit muffin and peppermint tea.) I put the washing on and did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen, tasks I actually enjoy on the weekend, and then cleaned the filters on the reverse cycle air conditioner which has been working hard on these cold mornings.
Back at the market later having this time driven up, I bought a pumpkin for $1 and a kilo of brown onions and a tub of fetta cheese, thinking Lib might like the cheese with her lunch at work next week. They went in one enviro bag and 3 sausages and onions in bread from the RSL stall went in another, carefully placed so as not to spill out, not so easily done while I also had 'Snowy' on the lead. Lib and I shared the sausages for lunch, the boys still in bed.
I met a friend at the market and made an appointment to go to his house Tuesday morning to see what he wants me to do while he is going away for 6 weeks soon travelling to Alice Springs. I look after his chickens and plants when he goes away which I'm happy to do because it keeps us in eggs and I pick foliage etc. in the garden.
Late afternoon Lib's friend Raelene rang and asked us around for a bowl of whatever's going for dinner and a glass or two of red, but Lib declined. We had thawed a lump of bladebone steak and done the vegies for Sunday roast and were about to light the fire and going out on a cold Sunday night seemed to much of an effort. We had planned to go to Lakes Entrance for the weekend but changed our mind on Friday when the weather seemed so bleak. This has been the coldest winter for two decades and Lib hates the cold and doesn't like going anywhere when the weather's bad, I call it the 'winter blues'.
I started this entry early and saved it as a draft to finish later so the time will be out of wack, I think.
