[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 134270, member: 1991"] G'day, Linda (and all to follow). That coffee smells wonderful, I do have some French vanilla coffee beans, I think I'll go and grind a cup. No choc chip cookies though, I'm being good. Not that I eat them anyway - I long ago gave up biscuits, cake, etc. The chick flick session sounds good, too. Right now we have "Love Actually" on free-to-air TV, and the boys plus easy child 2/difficult child 2 are watching it. Not difficult child 3, though - he's heading for bed soon. I was thinking of going for a walk this evening, but it's bucketing down outside, it's been getting heavier over the last hour. It's been a hot dry day, but cloudy. The clouds have finally burst. I just checked the radar - Warragamba Dam is getting a lot of this too, a very good thing. Maybe if it eases off enough in the next hour I can go for that walk. Tonight is the opening of our art exhibition, the session where people go to be seen and to mingle with the artists. I don't go - it's too crowded to see the paintings, with all the social climbers in the way. Besides, it's a wine & cheese night and costs $10 or more to go, when I can see the paintings tomorrow, in a much emptier auditorium, for $2. And I will still get to talk to at least some of the artists, it just won't be with everybody else seeing me with them, or seeing me acknowledge by them because they happen to recognise my face. OK, I know it sounds catty, but I do get very bored with the local art snobs; the genuine art-lovers I like, though. And they're the ones I will be more likely to see tomorrow. I had to get another antibiotic injection today, I'm struggling to beat this infection. My derriere is getting very sore. difficult child 3 insisted on watching. "I have to harden my heart," he said. Translation: he has to desensitise himself to needles. I can hear thunder rumble now, but this can't last much longer. There just isn't that much moisture around. The rain gauge was bone dry this evening, before this storm began. I wonder how the exhibition opening is going? I suspect they'll all hang around a bit longer, rather than try to dash home in this, wearing all their finery. I probably should go - for a writer, the range of people and what they are wearing is wonderful grist to the mill - those who dress up, and those who deliberately dress down and flamboyantly, as if to say, "I am too important to NEED to impress people." But it is all 'dress to impress', regardless. Sunday's fair should be fun - multiply the opening night by 100, relax things a bit, add in a strong dash of honesty - enthralling! I like to watch... Enjoy your Friday, everyone. [big clap of thunder - rain stopping] Marg [/QUOTE]
