I first woke around 10AM and then it was on and off wakefulness until I got up at 11:20AM. Gail was at the Mount Hospice Shop. Made a cup of Woolies Italian Roast coffee and a bowl of my homemade oatmeal (sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, barley, cinnamon, powdered milk, bran and a pinch of cloves)

In my room I open the curtains and window (another sunny day). Turn the computer on. Turn on the DVD (watching the West Wing Season 2 today). Using Firefox I checked the TVNow schedule (nothing on today that interests me) then NewsHub (local - fires in Canterbury and world - Trump declares border emergency). Finally, I checked Rain Radar - around 20th day w/o rain so I washed some clothes. Sent an email to Titania (working in Sydney) via Thunderbird.

Process 4 photos of Renee, scan 4 promo stickers. Brush my teeth with Sensodyne and shaved (Gillette 3 blade). Updated De classmates in People A-L document.

  Had a couple pieces of TipTop Fruit loaf (Cranberry/coconut). At 2:45PM I walked to Bayfair Mall to get a copy of the local Sun weekend newspaper (hard to get delivery people so we don't get it in the Village). While there I did four flights on the stairwell. All up it was a 60 minute walk.

Spent an hour weeding our back lawn and gardens. In for coffee while downloading 4 Kiwi songs and a couple from British charts. Updated Movies spreadsheet. After a fried rice supper (and a glipzide) I dropped off glass bottles and cardboard in the village for recycling. Tossed the 5" TV which is pretty much not needed anymore. At 34OC I did my routine which consists of weeding and laying bricks.

Home at dark dropping off a bunch of junk in village bin. Every second week I refresh my bulletin board with cartoons and other items. I then scan them and toss as part of my downsizing - photo of latest.

Evening pills: amytrip and magnesium for restless legs, Metformin, Atorvastatin (cholesterol) and a tumeric (latest craze).

  Finally, I sat down in front of the TV and watched a "Doc Martin" episode while reading the newspaper and did the crossword. Read a couple chapters of chapters of 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America. Had read earlier that doing 40 pushups really helps to protect the heart so I did 10, eh?
