We use the heat pump when needed, I can't afford for either of us to be sick. And there has been more than the odd time I've used the drier.
We watched Code of Silence, it's very good. And Adolescence on Netflix, we were mixed in our feelings about that one.
It's the shortest days todayso we are on the home straight to spring. And it's our son's birthday
We will phone him this afternoon; Perth is at least four hours behind us.
I KNOW! Its brilliant,isn't it & the actress really is deaf. I really enjoyed that one.
A friend who lives down south & I have a weekly catch up phonecall, & it was just coming to an end when a car pulled up the drive. Wasn't expecting anyone but though it might be sweetie darling no. 2 except the car wasn't theirs.
It was favourite youngest granddaughter & her boyfriend; they live in Neslon so don't see them often & hadn't met the boyfirend so a lovely surprise.. They're going to try & visit at least two or three of her cousins while here so hope they manage it. She's gorgeous (of course) & a good bit taller thsn I am (most people are) so she sort of stooped to give me a hug or several.
Really made my day.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
