Home Alone ......in the Dark

Well here I am home alone. I find myself having conversations with my dog Pinto. Only good thing is he listens to me and doesn't answer my back. Only bad thing is he barks every now and then and gives me a fright. We both have to go to the door or window and look out to see if anyone is sneaking around. Also he wanders into bed before I do and leaves me up alone.

Tony is in Perth until the 3oth of this month with granddaughter Amy. They are dividing their time up between his brother, Kenneth in the North and daughter, Catherine and grandchildren in the south. The South Sydney team just happens to be playing a game against the Melbourne Storm over there and they will all be attending the game as Catherine and Jazmin are rabbitoe fans..

Just before going to play euchre at the club on Monday night I was washing up and I had just turned the insinkerater on when everything went pitch black. First I thought someone had turned the power off and I was a bit frightened (I have seen too many movies). I felt my way into the laundry where there is a large torch and went outside to see if anybody else's power was off but all there lights were on. I checked out power box and there was one switch that said off. This wasn't one of the usual ones that turn off so I gather it must be the main switch. When I turned it back on (or should I say George our neighbour turned it on as I didn't want to blow up the house) it went back off again. I then realised it must have been the insinkerater that was faulty and I hadn't turn its switch off. When I did this the power switch stayed on. I now have to get a plumber to look at the insinkerator. I would like to get rid of this anyway and get a normal sink as I have always hated it. As for euchre I don't know why I turned up this week as I only won 1 game, my worst night ever......although the company was good.

What beautiful weather we had on Sunday. I caught the M2 bus into the city and met Kerry, Michael and the children and we went to the Museum of Sydney and the Botanical Gardens. I hadn't been to this museum before and found it quite interesting. It was grandparents day and they had a live 3 piece band and singer which was a bit much for Felise as she doesn't like loud music so we were unable to watch them. At the moment they also have an exhibition about the depression years and I plan to go back with Tony and have a more detailed look as it was a bit hard to see everything with the children.

Freddo frogs went down well at trivia today.
