Where has the week gone?

It's all happening at the Wilsons this week! Work on Monday and a Toastmasters contest on Monday night. On Tuesday I went into the city to check out the venue for the calligraphy workshop I am doing next month. It is at the Melbourne University - a HUGE complex, and one that I have never had occasion to venture into before, so it is all a bit intimidating! While I was in town, I had lunch in Lygon Street with a dear friend that I haven't seen since last year.

Wednesday was work again, and later in the day we took Topsy to the vet to have her Elizabethan collar removed, and her wound checked by the vet, who was pleased with her condition.

Today (Thursday) was another day off work for me, but that doesn't mean I had time to stitch or read...I wish!!! No, first thing this morning I did the weekly shop and ran a few extra messages for Ken. I took with me my photo album of the Elvis concert, as a couple of shopkeepers had asked to see the photos. A bloke from Foxtel arrived just after lunch to connect us to Digital, which took half an hour. While all this was happening, the landscape guys were in our back yard creating lots of noise and dust with a jackhammer, cement mixer, etc., so although all the windows and doors were closed, the dust still managed to infiltrate inside (Ms Robyn, you would have gone nuts trying to keep the place clean!), and I felt grubby all day as a result. Our friends Helen and Ray came around about 3 pm, armed with books on Australian native plants, and suggestions of what to plant where, after looking at our desolate back yard. We are going to plant 100% native, with as many as possible plants indigenous to the Eltham area. Having the appropriate plants help to attract the birds and insects to our garden. Topsy is going to be an INDOORS cat now on for more than one reason!
