Good Evening Chewsday

Greetings from a freezing Melb. As forecast, a “beast from the South” arrived today and will be around at least for the rest of the week. Temps. 1C rising to 5C. Even some snow in nearby hills, causing the TV News to go into raptures; all 0.5 cms of it!
Fame at last! The Council lady has deemed one of GreatNans jokes suitable for publishing in the Council’s anti-Covid newsletter. There are more than enough in our stockpile to outlast this pandemic!
That’s OK Megs Vera died on Christmas Eve 2015 in the hospital’s palliative care ward, just a few weeks after “all- over cancer” was diagnosed. and 4 days after our 62nd. anniversary. She was quite calm about the news and immediately told the specialist that she wanted no chemo.
Being 86 and having worked as a medical secretary all her working life she knew there would be no quality of life and we all respected her decision with no dramas.
At least she still had all her marbles to the end!

I’ve still many memories having thrown nothing out, but unlike you, it will involve a giant rubbish skip! No 2 Son has already said many times that he’ll toss out all my treasured souvenirs of my DIY projects; old chisels, hammers, off-cuts tins of paint etc. etc. He’s not a graduate of the “make do and mend” era! If something doesn’t work toss it out and buy a new one! I try not to think about it

I can understand your husband’s reluctance about shopping; I'd think the same, fearing to touch anything. Wearing a mask wouldn’t bother me and on that point I think appropriate masks make some of the ladies look quite mysterious!

Michael Portillo was riding the rails in Vietnam this evening and whilst the scenery was spectacular, he was still on about “fish dishes” and in particular a local delicacy, “fish sauce” which looked revolting whilst being made in a barrel! Just as well I’d already had my smoked cod and 3 veg. for evening dinner! and it’s stayed down.
Goodness me, it’s Wednesday already!
Good Health
