It might be too late now that they seem to have your details, Chookie, but would there be any benefit in using gift cards or similar for your Spotify purchases?

Marina, it’s my monthly subscription that is causing the trouble. The band are doing an investigation into the Frauds. Good suggestion though.
Lovely day at home. Making mix for Xmas Puds. Soaking fruit in Brandy until Thursday when I will mix everything and steam in TMX. I’m making a1/4 mixture which should feed 6 to 8.

I went out to see my brother today. It’s a good 3/4 hour each way. We had very strong easterly winds today and they tossed my little Suzuki around something awful. I told the family that next time I’m using one of their cars. I miss my red Hilux, it’s only down the road and toots and waves everytime it goes past.

I had my hair cut today.

[K Atie]

I had my podiatrist appointment yesterday! My on going foot issues with a very persistent wart that may involve being cut out as we have tried everything else . Now recommending to have vitamin supplements like for immune support.. oh dear not great on taking lots of multivitamins. Did a little Xmas shopping.. just have lost my mojo for this and well everything really. Meanwhile DD is having a great time in Japan and also days skiing in powder snow . So happy for her . DH DS have had long days and contractors as well , strange to be harvesting canola and oats at the same time . There was 2t to 3 semis taking the canola out the last four mornings .

KAtie, I have been talking to several ex farmer at Probus. They all say Xmas was always difficult as it was their busiest time of the year. Hang in there.

Cookie we never have started harvest this early , feels strange . Today I got to pilot the header and  tractor chaser bin . And three more runs moving to the other farm . Still on oats . Unfortunately our neighbours header aught on fire today , so quick . They saw it go up and jumped in our fire truck to help contain the fire . So sad for them and apparently there was another further south as well . Meanwhile DD has landed in Vienna Austria . Lucky girl . Not looking forward to these hot days coming up but at least it’s cooled down at night .
