What have you been doing today?

I've been sorting out Christmas decorations. I have a pile to donate to a charity shop. They haven't been used for years so thought why am I storing them

Having my hair cut at 6.00pm this evening.  My hairdresser has been cutting my hair for 35 years and is now retiring except for a few long standing customers, fortunately I am one of them, as long as we are happy to fit in with her times.

That's great Margaret. I love keeping the same hairdresser, as long as they are good. You will look extra beautiful for when you go away.

I didn't get far with my filing yesterday, we had 3 lots of visitors. It will keep, but it was lovely having lots  of visitors.

A quiet day DS on camp in Melbourne. So what to do in the early evening , plant vegetables while DH mows lawn . Very hot day again .

Went to an evening talk at Books for Cooks last night by the guys from the Tivoli Road Bakery (Toorak) – of course, their book just happened to be sitting right in front of me and it looked so lonely that I thought I should take it home with me (after making a suitable monetary contribution, of course!).  It was a thoroughly enjoyable and informative evening - the sample nibbles were delicious and, of course, the book is excellent.  DH is already eyeing it up for the sourdough bread section.

That’s a lovely gift Chookie, enjoy your day with the rellies.
Enjoy your new book Marina, it’s dangerous going to cooking classes - a book usually makes it into our handbags LOL.

That book sounds wonderful Marina. I will have to have a small peek!
Have a lovely meal Chookie. I thought I may add a couple of similar things to my brother's Christmas gift.
I vacuumed and washed the floor this morning. DH has gone over to a friends so it can dry.

I have cleaned the house today, did some washing and ironing and packed our cases for tomorrow.  We have to leave at 5.00am because of freeway traffic.  It took DIL 2 1/2 hours to go to Melbourne this morning, it usually about 1 1/2 hours.

[Cuilidh]

Melbourne traffic can be fierce.  Hope your early start gives you heaps of time.

[achookwoman]

Mab, enjoy your holiday.
We also find we have to leave plenty of time when we go to Melbourne.

[cookie1]

I hope the traffic was ok for you Margaret.

I had my window cleaner here this morning and this afternoon I went to a new, local dentist for the first time - very happy with them.

Dentistry has come so far since we were kids Judy. It is amazing. I'm still scared stiff but the lass we see is wonderful.
