TUESDAY CHAT

Not much chat as I have very little voice.   Phil is recovering from his head cold and he is now looking after me as I did for him last week.   A sore throat for about 4 days and now sneezing and coughing and a head full of cotton wool and, no this is not me.  I doubt I look quite that elegant when sneezing!!



It is at times like this that we are both so thankful we still have each other.  Phil has been well enough to pop down to the local shops to get the necessities and yesterday he made a crock pot full of pea soup (which we both love) so that's our smaller meal taken care of for a few days and we also bought a cooked chook (chicken) which lasts us a couple of days.

I had an appointment with my optometrist for Wednesday but will be ringing tomorrow morning to cancel that for at least a week and I am sure he would be not be pleased if I arrived as I am right now.

Nothing much else to report for the past week except we have had some excellent rain in Perth but it is now going to fine up for a few days and then, hopefully more rain will arrive.  It is nearing the beginning of spring and sometimes rainfall in Perth can be very iffy between September and April and our dams are just so low right now we are I think having to rely on desalination plants.

I believe the month July was the hottest worldwide which doesn't cheer me up as it probably means Perth is in for another long, hot summer.

I'll still try to pop in a few funnies but forgive me if flowers and small towns are on hold for a while.  Will depend on how long this thick head feeling lasts.

    1. It's moved downwards a little but I think is almost on the improve. Phil is much better and I soon hope to be as well. Thanks for the kind words.
