[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 72290, member: 1991"] G'day, Sharon. I hope today goes off without too many hitches. Boy, what a day! A meeting in the morning with our Federal MP (like meeting with your congressman) on the subject of our desperate need for a local doctor. There were about 12 people there, all reflecting the range of problems faced by our isolation. We've got it all written down, I threw a mid map together with the issues raised, so we should get some media coverage also. I might get contacted by a local reporter, it depends on how far the MP is going to take it. Here's hoping - we need some political clout on this one. difficult child 1 was attending a course today in our OH & S laws, it is one more step towards getting a job. He also had an initial phone interview for a cabinet-maker's apprenticeship. He is also going for his drivers licence tomorrow. He failed his last attempt - he couldn't get the car started, it had an immobiliser on it and he didn't realise. And if you can't start the car, it's an automatic fail. He's looking at buying a car, he had one offered to him. So with the prospect of an apprenticeship (= potential career, not just a job), wheels, licence - I think he'll be popping the question to girlfriend's father very soon. Maybe before Christmas? The weather's turned back to winter for the next week, but we've had a promise of summer already. My peach tree is beginning to blossom, I can't wait. Did a little shopping this afternoon, picked up my meat order - I thought I'd ordered a side of lamb, with spring lamb now on the market. I goofed - I ordered a whole sheep! husband & I have just been packing what we could into the freezer. And we're having for dinner - lamb! (for the next few weeks, I think). Buying it this way, it's about A$6.50 a kilo. Buying lamb chops it can get as high as A$18 a kilo. Big difference. I'll let you all know how difficult child 1 goes tomorrow. Marg [/QUOTE]
