What have you been doing today?

Good that you got to have your break before the rain came cookie.  It’s always nice to see your pictures.

DD and I went shopping. I needed a few groceries to keep us going until Wednesday. Tonight I will sit back and enjoy my footy team playing..at least I hope I will enjoy it.

Tidied up back door for kitten to explore soon , lots of cuddles . Thankfully DD Covid test came back negative, now she can come out of her room and no more food delivery by me . Still it’s good to see rest was needed . DS and DH are out spreading mouse bait in the paddock tonight . dS was driving the seeder today .

Caught up on lots of small messy jobs. Very cold over night, frost.  -1 but feels like -5.

Ouch, I don’t think I like your cold at all Chookie. I’m feeling cold and it’s 16 degrees.
I did some washing and popped it out to be re rinsed by the rain. Then I goofed around. I’m trying to read my book club book and it’s a bit of an effort. I’m sure it’s a literary masterpiece but I’m not enjoying it.

Well day one of on line learning . So l cooked , played with the kitten , spent ages on the phone trying to book Covid vaccine . Had a telly heath appointment with my ( and mums ) GP ...so kind asked about each of us how we were and the loss of DM . Kids eat a lot , pumpkin soup ,vegetarian sausages rolls . Then marinated lamb slow cooked roast on at lunchtime. Then where DD had Covid test they rang to say she had a virus .. my heart stopped- not Covid we already had a negative result. All good but yes poor DD is prone to anything. Very impressed with their care . It was so cold today but the sun in the afternoon was warm , the wind not so much .

Spent time on phone with several friends in ISO. Think it is going to be extended.  Very cold but sun was shining. Dropped some fresh eggs off to neighbours.  Also 1/2 Lemon Ricotta cake. GD got other 1/2.  No contact.  Again, a lot of people out walking.
Making Quince, Medlar and Raspberry Jelly.

DD1 thinks the same Chookie, she said the rumours are out and about and in Melbourne rumours are usually true. 
I’ve been a bit lazy of late and content with staying home doing very little so I gave myself a good talking to this morning then went out to browse a reasonably new shopping mall.  I just felt like spending some money I think and bought bits and pieces here, there and everywhere.  I need cook books like a hole in the head but because I’m eating vegetarian 90% of the time at the moment these 2 books will amuse me for a short time then I can hand them over to Vegetarian DD1 when she eventually returns home to live.  A very late lunch today as I took my time and had a good look everywhere, I even did a food shop in Coles which is something I never do unless I’m looking for something I can’t find anywhere else.

They look interesting Judy. We did a coffee run this morning with the old car...the black one that looks like Elliot Ness's.

[judydawn]

It looks like perfect weather for a run cookie.

I think the rumours of the lockdown being extended will eventuate - it seems now you can catch this strain of COVID from simply being near an infectious person ... if that isn't scary enough to keep you indoors I don't know what is!!!

[achookwoman]

Judy, nothing like a couple of nice cooking books to inspire you.
Cookie, lovely day out.  RAL said thanks for photo!
Picked a bunch of flowers for inside.
Spent morning ordering online groceries.
About to spread sugarcane mulch on garden beds.

It sounds like you have the essentials covered Marina. It is very frightening that this type can be caught walking by someone.
