Thanks for the nice comments about the jam. It gives me a great deal of pleasure to see the surprised looks on peoples faces.  Also most of the fruit and jars are given to me. So a bit of sugar and time is all thats required.
DS. I visited today. He cuts the lawns and we have a good chat.

With all the wet weather our cream tiled floor was looking dreadful. I vacuumed it again and washed it. We had almost 50mm yesterday but it wasn’t as wet today.

It certainly is KAtie. There was water everywhere.
We went down to Costco this morning. I only needed a few things.

DS brought me some paper AF liners from Cosco. There are 300 in a pack. They work well..
My regular order is the Panko crumbs in the big pack. GC love anything coated with them.
Cleaner today. Also a home visit from a pharmacist to check my medicines.

It’s always a good idea to have a medicines review occasionally Chookie.
I missed seeing any air fryer liners, I must look for them next time.
This morning I visited my brother’s partner at school as I had been promising to take their new thermomix cutter to them. DD and I then went to a nearby shopping centre to visit a new fruit and veggie place. It was ok but we did have a delicious morning tea at an Italian cafe and managed to buy a couple of books that we liked. I cash in my flybuys points for $$$$$ and use those to buy books. 😀😀😀😀

Wow Cookie, new cook books. I haven’t bought any for a while.
Agrarian kitchen in Tassie, just won Gourmet Traveller , restaurant of the year. In its early days I did 3 cooking classes there. I’ve done many cooking classes around the world and the ones done at the Agrarian Kitchen were the best.
Today I’m going to Nolan’s restaurant in Ballarat for lunch with my DS and BIL.

I’m sure that will be fun Chookie. I did my grocery shopping today.

Had a treat today , 90 minute therapeutic massage . Gosh it’s hard to relax initially but so good on my aching frozen shoulder and generally whole body . Also they must have used the entire place of oil as my skin was so dry . Then to a friends for Zoom bookclub , wine cheese and cake yum .

Today is day 10 of my COVID isolation and I am bored senseless - I have decided I am going to go home today, unless DH is seriously opposed to that (keeping in mind that I will have to interact with our staff to some extent - if only to pass through the shop to get to the stairs upstairs). We have a strict stay away policy if you have a positive RAT so that may be the deciding factor as to whether I head home or not.  I have also run out of clean clothes so if I don't go home I will have to do a load of washing and I don't fancy my chances of any of it drying any time soon.

K Atie there is nothing as nice as a good massage for a tired, aching body.

Marina I thought you only had to isolate for 7 days with Covid now, what figure are you working on? How are you feeling and are you still testing positive?

Judy, I am not sure that there is still a strict seven day isolation rule, but we are always aware that we have a responsibility to our customers and colleagues when it comes to COVID, hence our stay away from work policy. To be honest, those of us who have had COVID recently haven't been feeling enthusiastic about going in to work anyway.  I spoke to my GP earlier this afternoon and she said that although I am still showing a positive RAT, it should be OK so long as I mask up, some people just take longer than others to go negative I guess.  So, I am now planning on heading back down to Melbourne tomorrow (with soggy washing in my bag!).

It’s sure hanging around then, I hope a negative result will soon show up.
