G'day, folk.
Sharon/WO, I'm glad you're getting lovely weather. Enjoy it while you've got it. All the best with those appointments, I hope you get to the club tonight.
TM, isn't Duckie's cough any better? It is so exhausting, when it continues on and on... I'm glad Brownies was more manageable, too. I hope you get the quiet night you're hoping for.
totoro, you're going to be needing a lot of that coffee, to stay awake yourself in your efforts to keep K awake for the EEG. I hope she holds it together for you, only has problems (if at all) for the doctors when they've got their monitors on. At least at the clinic, you'll be in air-conditioned comfort.
It's been a quiet day here today, after a busy session this morning cooking and cleaning. My cleaner helps me cook also, because I haven't got the strength in my hands and arms, especially at the moment. The vacuum cleaner power head broke down so I tried to fix it but couldn't turn the screws. husband has just been working on it now for me - it's once again the curse of the long-haired children. I've got some parts I need to buy on the next shopping trip, and some whinges to make to the salesman - this new vacuum cleaner is far from the trouble-free workhorse I had been promised. And it's harder for me to fix myself, too. Not happy.
The house smells strongly of the beef korma I cooked today. This evening I rang the woman who is cooking for Saturday's fund-raiser at church, for the Sudan. It's actually a project organised by my cleaner. We're having a Sudanese restaurant meal for the village, all money going to buy whatever we can raise enough for - a school, a new well, a teacher's salary for a year - whatever is raised. Because of my diet I wanted to know what was on the menu before I committed to going, but it sounds like it will be good. The cook is also going to be the caterer for difficult child 1's wedding, so I'm happy to talk to her and help out. I found out what spices she will be using and because I have plenty of them, I'm donating them to save her from having to buy them herself. And she's going to cook some brown rice for me, for Saturday night. I'm going to see if she can use difficult child 3 on Saturday as an unpaid scullery boy or waiter.
I didn't do as much gardening today as I hoped, but I've done some. No mad rush. Maybe Saturday, at this rate. It will be a hot day on Saturday. Today was cooler again, I felt I couldn't get warm.
Enjoy your Thursday, everyone.
