[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 339476, member: 1991"] G'day for Friday. Linda, here's hoping kt passes the test (and so do your brakes). Sharon/LDM, sounds like you've got several climates in one day! I hope you can restore your computer soon. The problems sound really annoying. We had our morning outing today which stretched into mid-afternoon. The dentist is lovely - he also has confirmed for me what I suspected for years, that the dentist I had as a kid was drilling into healthy teeth and charging my parents for work that they could ill-afford. I also kept getting into trouble from my parents for not looking after my teeth; an orthodontist had offered to straighten my teeth as a favour, for free, but my parents turned it down because I allegedly wasn't looking after my teeth - and I was! I have to go back to get a broken filling fixed - since I was a kid, that is just about all I've ever had to have done to my teeth - fix broken fillings. Any decay has been associated with this. Today was just a scale and clean; my teeth were loaded with plaque so they were like a brick wall. Now they're more like a paling fence, with daylight between the palings. It was an early appointment, we did our grocery shopping afterwards then headed to the psychiatrist to collect the welfare forms he'd filled in. He had written difficult child 3's diagnosis down as Asperger's, which could be a problem for us. He also had missed filling in one form, I'll have to see him in person, I think, to talk about it. Or send it back with an explanatory note. After that, difficult child 3 & I headed for the welfare offices. We only had to hand in forms, but we were there for 90 minutes, waiting in queues and then waiting for our names to be called to finally talk to a person. It wasn't especially hot today (28 C, or 82 F) according to the thermometer, but it felt awfully hot because the humidity is so high, it's condensing out. We headed home, I had to put the air conditioning on in the car because driving with the windows down was just too hot. I don't like using the air conditioning too much, it uses up fuel. But I welcomed the cooler air. It began to sprinkle a bit as we got home, I managed to rescue the washing (still there from yesterday because the air is so moist) and then the forecast storm came through. We got a few mm of rain in it; not much. I got some work done (fan blowing behind me) after the storm passed. It didn't cool things much but did push the humidity up more. It isn't as hot as Singapore, but it feels as humid. I cooked a chicken risotto for dinner tonight. I figured mother in law & husband especially could use some comfort food. I'd told mother in law to put her air conditioning on today, and thankfully she did. We had a pleasantly comfortable evening down there having dinner with her. I'd judged the risotto right, she ate a second helping, which is a first since she got home from hospital. She's rarely finished a meal since she got home, and this time she came back for more! Not bad for a dish created out of leftovers. We left her a small serve for lunch tomorrow. I've got ingredients for an easy lunch tomorrow here for difficult child 3 & me. husband will be playing trains with his mates, he always takes a salad. I've still got a few things to do in the kitchen tonight, then it's time to head for bed. Enjoy your Friday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
