There goes anothe day in my humdrum existence. Grocery shopping etc. I did some other shopping this time. Credit card is looking a bit sorry for itself, though not too much. I have needed a black blouse for ages, and I somehow lost one of my favourite nighties when I came home from hospital last year. I bought another one the same. I dunno where it could have gone as I was not in hospital long enough to require someone to do my washing. Ah, well, such is life.
My mate Sue came around last night as she had been to Naracoorte with her son. She was like a kid when they know or have something you don;t. You know the sort of thing. 'I know something you don't know'. She had bought a 4DVD set of Andre Rieu music and an interview with him. Now, I am what is colloquially known as an Andre 'tragic', and I did not think she was that enamoured.Sue was not brought up with classical music or any refinememts, so I am surprised she likes this music.Sue was like a kid whose birthday and Christmas had come together. It was very funny to see. She had some of the DVDs I was hoping to get, and she said there were only two left. Naturally, I was in like a shot first thing this morning and purchased a set. It turns out, this is a limited edition so I was lucky to get them. Sue is a real mate in things of this nature. If she knows I like something, she will let me know about it. If I can afford it, I will buy it.
We went to our favourite watering hole and had lunch as usual. Neville had Porterhouse steak, I had a large bowl of chicken and corn soup. It was quite nice except for the slight greasyness. It was only $3.00 cheaper than Neville's steak! I had a cup of tea as well. That certainly was NOT value for money. The cup was so small, and, at $3.50 not a lot of it. I thought they would have brought me a pot of tea.
I had been up before dawn this morning, and rang my sister in Britain. Consequently, I was tired and slept all the way home. Not very comfortable, and I woke up every time my mouth dropped open. Not a pretty sight I am sure.

$3.50 for a cup of tea! They saw you coming. I guess they would charge for a 'free' glass of water too!
Yes, they did see me coming. Actually, you can get a large bottle of 'house water' and glasses free. I have no doubt the water in town water and not rain water.I can get a large mug of coffee here for $3.20,
