Sunday

It was a day like any other day ... starting with a Skype call with Tr that was plagued with/by technical difficulties. I had hoped that by my being at home and on a reliable WiFi network we would be trouble-free - but it so much.

Oh wait, something different did happen this morning - as Tr pointed out, because she could hear them over the "phone" - the cattle have moved back into the paddocks at the back of L's so they're now close enough to hear and see. They are truly magnificent beasts! Most people never get to see them up close - especially when they're just sitting out the front having a cuppa (that would be the people, not the cows).

We were two short at the Markets today. M and A were absent so as yet they don't know that we have created a Monster ... F wants to go to Trivia again and having heard that Southport RSL (Monday nights) has a $5,000 prize pool, he is keen to go. So keen to go is he that he wants to go tomorrow night to scope it out - and since we'll be there, he says, we might as well play! Of course, we have to humor him so S and I, and N will go with F (and M is she wants). I'll find out some details - whether there is a size limit on teams, how much it costs to enter, how long it lasts, what the general categories are - and email the others (including M and A) tomorrow.

Après Markets, I did a quick lap around Harvey Norman while S waited in the car, and then we popped over to the Q Centre for lunch and some supermarket shopping. (We are such creatures of habit on a Sunday.)

It was a bit disappointing for S this evening. She had gone to the trouble of cooking a chicken - to a new recipe, which she followed to the letter - but when it was time to serve, the chicken hadn't cooked through, so back into the pot (literally) it went. The vegetables she had cooked to go with it were very nice - she had chosen the potatoes especially because they are good for roasting - so we didn't starve. M had called in to Baskin & Robbins (yum) on her way home so there was dessert for anyone who wanted as well.
