Good Morning!

It will be a lovely day with a cloudless sky and the high of 69 and the low of 47.

We are having the last of the porkchops, potatoes and carrots.

What will be your dinner tonight?

rosie, what is "knit group"? We've had takeaway twice since we started the blitz. There's always tomorrow to start again... Lobster rolls sound awesome!! Joe and I have similar taste in food.

I had a very ordinary day. I finished Hannah's newest jacket and have one more to do... I'm not looking forward to working on it at night because it's a dark colour. To me it's dark purple but the label says it's "aubergine". In other words, dark purple...

I went outside for about 5 minutes to water the vegetables and that was it. Bit of a lazy day.

Dinner was part of the blitz... John had a homemade burger with beef, bacon, onion, lettuce, tomato and an egg and I airfried some shoestring chips. I found a container of bolognaise sauce so I had spaghetti with melted mozzarella cheese.

I found some frozen rissoles so they will be slow cooked with vegetables tomorrow for dinner. I don't eat rissoles so I'll just have the gravy and veg. on mash.

It's a group of ladies that gather once every 2 weeks at the library for 2 hrs. We knit, crochet, talk, laugh. It's fun and a welcome break from life. Used to go to another but it broke up when covid started.

That's exactly what I need. I read online that there's a craft group in Adelaide near where our new house will be. I'd like to meet some people without them being "best friends", if you know what I mean. I'm happy to join a group and just see the people once a fortnight. Most of my time is spent looking after John and seeing our grandchildren. For all I know the group that I read about may no longer exist. I'll have to see when we get there.

Go for it Jan. Never know if ya don't try. I walked in there 2 yrs ago all alone not knowing a soul. They were so nice and I was accepted right away. I look forward to it every fortnight. HA never use that word before

[Chayote]

Never used what word? ...fortnight?

[rosie]

Chayote , fortnight ( term for 2 week period ) is a term that is not very often used in our country. It's a british term. I have not heard anybody use it, ever, besides you.

It’s been a very nice day today, just doing some of the usual house drudge stuff and doing some reading. I’ve got about 90 pages of the book I’m reading left to go, might finish it tonight or tomorrow.

We’re going with a no brain, easy kind of dinner that sounded good to both of us for some reason. Hot dogs on buns and Bush’s baked beans and fruit.

I didn't know that Americans didn't use the word 'fortnight'. What about in Canada? Do they use it?

I'm not surprised that it's a British word because most of us came from Britain, either as free settlers (my family) or convicts (John's family)... Most people who come from convict stock are fiercely proud of the fact. It answered a lot of questions about the behaviour of many Goodman descendants that followed...
