What have you been doing today?

[achookwoman]

Very busy jobs, Mab and Judy.
I’m having another go at the garage. Still a lot to go to the op shop.
My handyman is coming today to put up a hose reel and a bracket to hang up brooms and rakes.
The fire alarms went off. They needed the batteries replaced. What a racket.

Only the cooking I mentioned.

Had a lovely day with our quilting group . We all brought produce to share ! I had branches of bay leaves . Others brought quinces zucchini and even novels .

Great idea K Atie.

Visited my GP today and made arrangements for 2nd shingles shot plus flu plus COVID injections next week (that should be a fun visit) prepping for my hospital stay.

Ouch, Marina. My GP waits 2 weeks between each injection.
Hair cut and blow wave, Gym, afternoon tea with Probus friend and off to Melbourne to stay one night at The Royce. Tomorrow, morning shopping and dinner at Farmers Daughter’s. Home.

Your GP has undoubtedly got it right, Chookie, but it is getting too close to my operation now to allow that amount of time between the various injections.  I cannot imagine it will be much fun, but hopefully it will serve its purpose and keep me protected during my night in hospital and subsequent recovery at home.

Enjoy your visit to Melbourne, it's a bit dreicht at the moment, but will hopefully improve whilst you are here - I'll let the weather forecasters know you are coming and see if they can do anything about it for you.

Ouch Marina. However I see your reasoning.

Marina good luck with all those injections . Have a great time Chookie .

Understand Marina. Thanks for sending the good weather.
The Royce Hotel was lovely. Fab service but the food for breakfast not fantastic. I admit I’m pretty critical. Had scrambled eggs with crab. Doesn’t work for me. Smoked salmon much better. They had home made crumpets on the menu so just had to try them. Absolutely awful. They were really just large piklets, $22 for 2.
Will stay there but not have breakfast there. .
We had dinner in the Deli at the Farmers Daughter restaurant. There were 4 of us. We had the set menu and it was just as delicious as last time. They were very busy and it’s not surprising. The service is very attentive but not intrusive. They are particular about any food sensitivity. The food is simple but fresh and beautifully cooked. For $85 dollars I think it is good value.

I picked up my wedding ring from the jeweller this morning after having resized.    I have lost 14kg over the past few months and my ring kept sliding off and I was afraid I might loose it.

A wise thing to do Mab.
I have my diabetes check at the end of the month so I went for the hbA1c blood test this morning.

[judydawn]

That’s a lot of lost weight over a short period Margaret, I do hope it’s stopped now. I had the same problem so I wear my rings.

[achookwoman]

I won a voucher for buy one get one free, at the local Golf Club restaurant. I’m taking a friend for lunch.

Enjoy your meal out with your friend Chookie.

Supermarket shopping this morning, once again the shelves are very bare.
