You can never have enough...

When the quake hit here, the only way any of my lot could get in touch was for sweetie darling no. 3 to walk most of the way; he started out driving but had to give up & walk to my place & (at the time I didn't have a cellphone) was able to txt the others that I was in fact still alive & kicking - it was after that they insisted on giving me a cellphone, dammit. Lucky he only lives in the next suburb.
The effects of it are sadly still going on.

That's some improvement Venetian; we don't realise how much we rely on electricity until we lose it for a time, which certainly does make us appreciate if far more - at least till we get used to having it again.

Last week I got myself a new toothbrush, found it too soft so got another yesterday & put the older one on the shelf in bathroom to dry out a bit before deciding on whether to chuck it or find some other purpose for it. This morning I absentmindedly squeezed toothpaste on it & almost used it before realising what I'd done - its good to laugh at yourself first thing in the morning!
We're in for three days of all day rain if the forecast is right so raced out early before it got started to pick up a library book on hold & some ibuprofen, because the bones won't enjoy the wet weather so didn't want to run out & was getting a bit low.
Madame le Dog will still need her walk so it may have to be a shorter one today; with my luck no doubt it'll wait until we set off before bucketing down.
