Thursday 19th April

SHE SAID:

More sorting & leaving prep today; also cleaning & tidying up upstairs.

After lunch I headed to the hospital to see Jean. She appeared happy & put on a brave face for me. All 3 of her ankle bones are broken & will probably need pins. Crickey, at almost 80 she might have a fair recovery time ahead of her!

I got the trip groceries on the way back to Farrer, then it was back again to the Africa photos.

Loved the name of the wine -
so we had to try it
HE SAID:

Rather surprisingly (in a positive way), Mum finally agreed that going to a plant nursery to buy suitable plants for the garden was a good idea. I'd offered several times over the last three years, as for some reason the "designer" who had managed the landscaping of the yard, thought that putting ground-hugging plants along a fence-line would block sight of the fence and be attractive. FAIL! This designer also managed to arrange the landscaping to have rainwater run-off flow straight into the garden shed. There are also gaps where some plants have died and been removed. So off we went to the nursery at Yarralumla, where my style of shopping was not used, and we eventually left with a small percentage of what was originally sought.
