Oh no ozzie your glasses! Are you going to be able to get them fixed when you get off the ferry? I can drive without mine too, but it's not something I like to do for a very long distance.

Or for taking the overnight boat when you could be sitting happily on the deck rejoicing in the splendor of the oggin. It may be possible to get the ABC through Fox. Turned out it was available next morning. I was having difficulty reading screens without my multifocals. I looked for the branch of my optician where I’m staying the night. There was no way I’d attempt to in Melbourne, where the ferry lands. Even here, it’s in a busy, unfamiliar shopping mall, and I don’t know where/how to park the van there, and I was so tired by the time I got here, that I decided to wait for Dubbo tomorrow. Closest branch to home, and I’m familiar with the location.

I have new glasses frames. The old ones couldn’t be fixed, but the nice woman in Dubbo OPSM found two that fit them perfectly. No longer feeling naked.

No papaya for me, thank you. I have the same allergy to papaya as to kiwi fruit.

1. We have organized the movers to take everything into storage at the end of May 2 the house cleaner is scheduled to come the next day (or two if needed!) 3. Still looking for a house to buy. There is a lot of crap out there. We saw three rejects today.

Psw, it is.we got lucky getting it as the rental market is even worse than buying market. It belongs to friends of our son who are stuck overseas because of the pandemic.

It seems across the world that rentals can only be found if you know someone. My tenants for the last four years are friends, and the house they eventually found also belongs to a friend. They searched for nine months in the local market, across three neighbouring towns.

1 after worrying too much, I tefloned something to corporate. They maintain the odd relationships. 2 I have a week off that can't come soon enough. 3 we are having monsoon weather but I guess that is better than dangerous heat.

I could no sooner give you advice on barbecuing fresh squid than fly to the moon! Sounds gorgeous, though.

sophie - re #2: unpacking can be another chance at culling. Sometimes the place to put things is in the charity bin. No rush.

Psw, totally agree. I’m unpacking slowly for that reason.
