I was up early and at Maccas to make the Skype call with Tr. It was good, and there was plenty of opportunity to discuss the political intrigue currently happening here with a leadership ballot for the Nation's top job (Prime Minister!!!!) happening tomorrow morning in Canberra. The candidates at the moment - current incumbent Julia Gillard, and previous incumbent K. Rudd (who also called himself Yours Truly in an interview with Laurie Oakes this morning) - and it will be interesting to see if other challengers come out of the woodwork tomorrow morning.
We took Mum to the nursery this morning so she could select a rose for her garden as her birthday present. It was still wet and I thought a bit treacherous as she is still using crutches to help her mobility and walking on wet concrete and gravel is probably not the safest combination.
On the way back to Latimers, we stopped at Sprengers - and were amazed to find they had no home-roasted peanuts (their speciality) because, as we were told, "it's too wet for peanuts". It was probably just as well, too, because M isn't eating them at the moment - but we would have helped.
Dinner tonight was supposed to be at The Big House - the whole chicken dinner - because this may be our last opportunity for the February special - unless we go tomorrow night, or Tuesday. We can't do Wednesday night - the 29th - the last day of February - as we're going out to celebrate M's birthday. (Which reminds me, I'd better start work on those words!)
