the day started with various skypings – first to jane’s sister and our nephews and neice, together with jane’s parents who are visiting them for christmas
it was nice to catch up with them and then we skyped our friends the newells
then it was time for some chores before our friends the andersons came over
the adults had morning tea outside whilst the youngsters played card games inside
then we went for a walk at a local bay and did a spot of geocaching
then we had lunch at wendys
the next couple of hours was spent driving round in circles (or so it ended up) as we found a place that sold replacement car bulbs as our brake light had gone, then worked out what sort of patio heater we wanted and found a shop which sold it
that then required some construction which i did whilst jane was out shopping for visitor getting ready things and the girls did some scootering about on their festive scoots.
here’s a cicada. they haven’t started singing in earnest but it won’t be long now i suspect
then this evening i made a meal of cutting the grass but got there in the end !
