It was so very cold . . . cold . . . cold here this morning! I'd already noticed: when my coffee came I was ecstatic not because it was my first coffee of the day but because it was in a mug and I could wrap my freezing hands around it. So, it really wasn't that much of a surprise when I heard one of the cafe staff offer one of the other patrons a blanket! I think he thought she was joking ... she wasn't and I think if she'd had one out and given it to him, he would have taken it. I certainly thought about it! But even though it was very cold, it seemed that the cafe was full - with people sitting in the sunshine, dragging any warmth they could out of it.
Wednesday is Bingo but, alas, there were no (winner are) grinners today. But lunch was still on at Daniel Stuart's and I joined them there after spending a glorious 2 hours sitting at a table near the ceiling to floor plate glass windows in the Palm Lounge, basking in the sunlight streaming in, and doing some paperwork.
After lunch, M went off to the Aldi at Southport Park looking for the boltless five-tier (shelf) system they have on sale. Unfortunately they had already sold out at that store, so she may have to look elsewhere.

| Ja's handy-work! |
Back at Latimers, it was a busy day with both Je and Ja coming ... to work in the house and the yard respectively. Ja was particularly busy - cutting down Lilly Pillys, the magnolia and ... another tree that used to be near the avocado tree - and taking the tree refuse down to the paddock below the garage and arranging it into a bonfire heap ... which M will get Be to ignite after we've had a bit more rain, and after she's mowed the grass around it. That wasn't today though ... she was busy mowing the house yard - even though the ground was spongy underfoot ... as she said, there's rain forecast - and she wanted to get it done before it arrived. She didn't manage to get it all done, though, and Hermes' yard still needs some attention - and if it hasn't rained between then and now, I'll give it a go tomorrow afternoon. Of course, the mowing could have been easier today if M had noticed that the two front wheels on ROM were flat; which explains why the cut looks uneven in places. Thank goodness it's not the deck playing up again though - and thankyou to M pumped up the tyres before she put ROM away. Hopefully they'll still be up tomorrow afternoon. And hopefully the ground won't be as wet, because wet ground means mud gets caught up under the deck and it can be difficult to get off!
Everyone was in tonight and M and S were enjoying "Offspring" very much, judging from the peels of laughter coming from the viewing area. There's only three more weeks of "Offspring" this year so hopefully it resolves well for them, although it looked from the trailers as though there will be a death in Nina's world.
Did I mention that S made Hungarian Goulash Soup last night ... and I get to have leftovers tonight. Yum.
