Dinner was a venison pattie from a friend. Nice flavour. Feeling 🤢🤢🤢 Thickener? Preservative? Who knows but 😳 Sigh… I’m not good with a lot of the thickeners.

Sundays I don’t ring Tony until after his tea. He said was getting worried bc hadn’t heard from me since we went out yesterday. But I rang last night? No you didn’t! Oh well, anyway… Did I forget to call? Surely not. We’ve had the same basic pattern for 4 years. If it has to change I warn him. Ugh.

Playing with high contrast just for the fun of it.

Birds in the back yard make great cat tv. Sabrina loves watching them.

This is devastating. And totally shit. Are PLNZ & LIANZA fighting for them?

The cafe’s outdoor seating at our new facility is wheelchair friendly. It’s so good 😊

From now on we’re using a wheelchair for Tony whether he remembers the need or not. I’d forgotten how much extra physical load it is for me, lifting it in & out of the car etc. It’s worth it though…

I think it’s 20 years since I started my art qualification. It was a bit of a whim and one of the very best gifts I’ve ever given myself. If YOU have a passion, follow it in whatever way you can. You’re worth it.

Having said how much I appreciate Alan doing stuff … saint he ain’t 😝 He’s deep frying fish for dinner. Spilt hot oil all over the stove top & bench so grabbed the clean towel to wipe it up 😳 And cut my fish in half IN THE OIL to check it was cooked

I just looked out the window. Alan’s cooking dinner, as he does every night. I’d put the towels etc in the wash & he’s outside hanging it out without me asking or expecting. After caring for Mum for 14 yrs & Tony since 2012-ish, incl Hospice level while working f/t, it’s such a gift to me.
