[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 389288, member: 1991"] SHaron, look after that back. You might need to find a less strenuous form of daily exercise; I've had to make a lot of changes because I kept tearing muscles. I can sympathise with the back - my shoulder is killing me, I was at the doctor yesterday (Thursday) and then the physiotherapist. SFR, poor E! He probably did as much as he did to help difficult child, because he thought it meant she was more likely to be moving in with him. I don't normally post this late. I didn't get to post last night. Friday morning here now. I just wanted to mention a few things: 1) Yesterday was Remembrance Day here; Armistice in WWI was declared at the 11th hour of the 11th month, and we always pause then for a minute's silence wherever we are, if we can. 2) Summer is definitely moving in here - we're getting almost daily, the humid heat followed by the mid-afternoon summer storms that only Sydney can really produce. I remember as a kid, I used to get drenched every day unless I ran home form school; the storm would break almost like clockwork at 3.20 pm. That's 4.20 now we have daylight saving. 3) The sudden warm spell plus the strong winds associated with the afternoon storms have blown the Bogong Moths off course again. They usually fly along the ridge of the mountains but if they go off course, Sydney gets plagued by these moths. But it's late - usually late September warm spells will make it worse. So hopefully the plague won't be too bad. They're messy and untidy and can short-circuit electrics, but otherwise not a problem. Unlike locusts - and we DO have big problems with locust plague here. Hasn't reached us yet, usually doesn't reach the east coast. But this time they say it might, even though they got onto the swarms early. I'm about to head out for another busy day. My weekend will be no better... but at least it will be mostly for me and my writing. Enjoy your Thursday (what's left of it!) Marg [/QUOTE]
