[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 116141, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Linda, that long sleep seems to have done you good. Don't wear yourself out so much you need another! Beth, here's to not cleaning teeth in the sink. I have spent times in my past with inadequate bathroom facilities - times which viewed from the luxury of years now seem amusing. They were not at the time. When you choose to have a cold shower at the beach in your swimsuit in late autumn, rather than manage with buckets and tankwater in the makeshift shower at 'home', then you know it's living a bit rougher than most would prefer. We didn't go to the beach today - I would burn for sure if I did, I really had a bit too much yesterday. And by the time it was safe, sun-wise, to go to the beach the forecast storm clouds were moving in. We stayed indoors away from the heat, mother in law dropped in for a visit and we played on the Wii with her, much to her surprise. We watched DVDs, we talked, we had some good family time. Late in the afternoon, just after the rain began, the local community gardener visited with a basket of fresh-picked surplus to thank us for last week's donation of barrow-loads of manure/compost. I've been cooking, since, with very fresh ingredients. Tomorrow mother in law & I go see the neurologist. Also, our very new GP is back from holidays - I have to try to arrange new referrals within the first two hours. Technically we should have a full consult with her before we ask for referrals, but this is urgent. The cooler weather will be around for a few days - it will be lovely to not have to worry about the heat for a few days. Despite the afternoon's storms, I'm still sitting here in front of a fan, in a sleeveless cotton dress, drinking iced water. I love summer, but occasionally I wish I could slip through a portal for just a few minutes' chill and snow. Enjoy your Sunday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
