Today

Today sees the radio and TV transmitter out again. In the meantime my son and his girlfriend put a lot of money towards a crank radio for us. I can't wait to see it. They got it from Dick Smith. There is smoke here, all it does is make it feel hotter than it is, and it is only a couple of degrees over the forecast which was quite cool. The dried up gardens here and there from the weekend makes it feel hot too.

I woke up very tired. In the end I ordered the fruit and vegetables online like I usually do and decided to buck myself up. I had been watching two videos on the Today site about Flowerdale and had a bit of a cry. I had wanted to remind myself of Flowerdale since I did live there, if only for a short year.

Though I was reminded of how serious it is at A Bite Of Country Cupcakes blog.

I am in the here and now though for my kids, and doing what I have to do.

My daughter wanted to go to the library, so we went there. It was good. I haven't bought a parents magazine for many years, and had just recently thrown out my copies that I had hung onto perhaps for seven years. The new one is excellent. It talks about large families which is why I borrowed it. Lovely references to the net.

The tiredness bothered me as I have a big day ahead shopping and driving. My daughter will be coming home excited from camp as well, so this is my last day to sit and think, though I will still be doing that I think. I think when I am trying to go to sleep, but I do sleep.

I have since watched the Prime and ABC news. My son called after he watched the Prime news. It was sad for us.

Having said all that, I do have an award to pass on, and have been happy to receive it.
