What have you been doing today?

That is very sad for that lady - it will be a huge wrench for her.

Marina, saw a notice . don’t drink the water when it is switched back on. Contaminated.
Mab, for a year, I’ve been switching from plastic to glass containers. Difficult to find small ones.  I wait until they are 1/2 price and buy a couple.
Mab, great about the Risotto.  Very easy to make in TMX. .
Today, Dr for injection, then helping make floral sprays for Probus Mother’s Day.

Thanks for that Chookie - Coliban Water even had a water truck in the village reserve for everyone to access clean water.  I just filtered then boiled and boiled and boiled the tap water then filtered it again.  It tasted terrible after all the boiling and filtering, but it was OK for drinking.  I think the 'gold standard' for contaminated water is actually a 20 minute boil; I figured I boiled c. 10 minutes plus two filterings - it must be OK, I am here to tell the tale, anyway!

Today was another visit to the GP (she thinks I have an abscess in my lip) then off to the podiatrist for a new set of orthotics - in 2 weeks he will take a plaster cast of my foot and sort out a customised orthotic for me whilst we are away.

All good Marina. I don’t think we pay enough attention to our drinking water. 
Probus Monthly meeting. I’m giving a report on the Probus Information Day I attended last week.
It’s also our Mother’s Day celebration. We have been asked to bring something of interest that belonged to our mothers. I’m taking a crochet rug and a sterling silver spoon. The story behind the spoon takes some telling, so if a lot of people bring stuff, I’ll show the rug.
