What have you been doing today?

I did go for the nap. I set the timer on  my watch and it woke me. It's very handy.
I did the washing this morning and fiddled and faddled around. I must vacuum now and wash the floor. It doesn't take long, I just need to stop procrastinating.

Finally sent TMX 5 to DIL. I haven’t been using the 6 but will now have to.

It will be interesting to get your comparison comments between the two models.

Might have ventured to the shops to get a dress for an upcoming wedding! Came home with a few more i teams too ?

I am leading a boring life just now ... work, home, sleep, work, home .... shopping at the supermarket is almost the highlight of my days at the moment!

Yes it seems like that Marina but boy do we enjoy our outings when we do get out!

[K Atie]

Marina me too , this was out of the box for me . Challenging times with Covid and very minimal people contact . Last night DS rang me to say he did his washing and someone put his clothes in the dryer.. there was a biro in the 3 school shirts two casual T-shirt’s and track pants all have a lot of ink marks on them . Any hints it’s been set in with the dryer so I’m not that  hopeful . Also he had to go on stage today in front of the whole school !!

It looks like DS is in trouble here K Atie, hopefully he has a second set of school clothing to wear tonight.  I found this, scroll down a bit, but will he want to go to all that trouble? https://www.grove.co/blog/how-to-remove-ink-stains

I had a morning out today with a list of items I’ve needed for the house for a while now, managed to find all but one of the products in 4 different shops in different suburbs.  Called into a fruit and veg place on the way home, I only go here when I go to Bunnings but I was impressed with the prices today and didn’t think they were that expensive. All this for $22.30, how did I do?

You did well Judy.  I noticed cauliflowers were $7.50 each here this week in the supermarket and beans were $8 a kilo.

We had a visit from DS friend this morning.  She brought us some passionfruit and I gave her a container of soup. 

[judydawn]

My half cauli was just $2 Margaret and it was a good sized half too.  Beans are expensive but buying a handful doesn’t work out too bad.  Great swap with the soup for passionfruit.

Judy you did very well. The cauli half, leek and tomatoes would cost me the $22.
I did my grocery shopping this morning. At least most of the shelves are well stocked again.

[judydawn]

It must be so hard for struggling families at the moment, what with the price of food and petrol. I was surprised at the cost of the cauli, this is the first time I’ve seen it so low in a long time.

[achookwoman]

Judy, well done. I’m encouraging every one to swap what they can. I swapped eggs, SD crumpets, flat rolls and Apricot chutney for Yellow Fin fillets, 4 zucchini and 4 capsicum . Gardener brought big bag of lemons so will make lemon butter and Trudy’s lemon muffins. Will save peel and make mixed peel for Hot X Buns.
Neighbour is giving me some Crab apples and another raspberries. Will make Apple and Raspberry jelly.
Put an order in to Natures Cargo, ( wholesale food company). Ordered Laucke bread flour and chicken tenderloins. Quinoa. The Quinoa is $9.50. a K. Every thing is bulk.
