[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 241083, member: 1991"] G'day. Linda, I'm glad you had such a lovely visit form husband's cousin. She sounds like someone who could be very welcome in your life right now. We had a busy day today but husband did the bulk of the running around. We dropped my car off to be serviced then drove around to get other jobs done. There was a shop that husband had been told about by a co-worker, a food supply shop. And what a find! A lot of difficult-to-find gourmet goodies as well as some useful ingredients. Bulk spices at good prices, too. We took notes and left with a very small amount of some things to experiment with - truffled olive oil, sherry vinegar, some saffron threads and green Tabasco, which has been impossible to find for several years. They also have our favourite coconut cream as well. And all much more local than where we've usually had to go. easy child 2/difficult child 2 will be happy, she has been stealing our supply of coconut cream! Then we got the rest of our shopping done, got husband's car looked at to get a panelbeating quote (some rust and a new paint job) then home for a few hours. We also have been ringing up to get urgent quotes on easy child 2/difficult child 2's wedding dress - the order MUST go in tomorrow and we're still waiting on a comparative quote. If we've not heard anything by morning I'm going to have to get nasty. It was difficult child 3's first drama class for the year tonight, while we wait for the kids we usually chat but tonight one of the mothers had organised a weight loss group. After the class we went out for burgers (it's OK, I had grilled fish). And tonight for dessert, I had what is probably my last mango of summer. They're now getting too expensive. We have wonderful choices of fruit here but it does change a lot at this time of the year. It was really hot today, while we were out we were longing for a swim. When we got back home I catnapped briefly then helped difficult child 3 with his schoolwork, waiting for school hours to finish so I could take difficult child 3 for a swim. But by then, clouds were building and a breeze had sprung up. Maybe tomorrow. At least I don't have to go out tomorrow, thank goodness. Tonight difficult child 1 & daughter in law were due to see a solicitor about his car accident and the huge bill he's been sent that he has no chance of affording. I hope to talk to them about it tomorrow. Enjoy your Tuesday. Marg [/QUOTE]
