This is what we got up to yesterday ... our street was one big party (fortunately it finished at 9.00 pm - I thought our building was going to vibrate into the dust with all the loud music!)  https://www.facebook.com/grantviolins/photos/a.183464528440188/4812365398883388

I love street parties, sounds like yours really impressed Marina.  Love your shop front display too.

I had a visit to my eye specialist this morning. He has eventually persuaded me to have my cataracts done. The first is 7th April, provided elective surgery is going ahead,

I have heard that it is truly 'eye opening'  when you get your cataracts done, you don't realise how much vision you have slowly lost over the years.

Go for it Cookie. Ral had his done years ago and made a huge difference. I’ve postponed mine after conflicting advice.
Bit cooler today.

I did the grocery shopping this morning. Ironing this afternoon. Awful in the heat, even under the air con vent.

DD has reached her first island on her trip across Bass Straight. Hogan Island. We were watching the weather and think they paddled through a storm. She sends a message each night by satellite phone, to which we can reply.  We can’t message her otherwise.
Dr visit for Ral today.
Friend dropped of another bag of plums. Plum vinegar and jam coming up.

Chookie, good news that your DD has completed her first day.

I did my weekly shop this morning.  Lots of empty shelves and prices are rising.

Well done to your DD. I’m sure you wait eagerly for her call each day Chookie. She is an amazing lady. What an achievement.
