    Hello from a stuffed Mhagster. Just had home made lasagne and then pavlova ( sparrers fault for mentioning it yesterday with RTC strawberries !

    The most stunning sunrise to one side and a big full moon to the other as I drove to work this morning .

    Sat on my break and one of my nice customers came and joined me which was nice.

    Really needed something sweet (hence pavlova) but for first time in ages I popped into Indian cafe on campus to buy 2 veg samosas ( to share with kids when I got in ,they are huge!) $4 each.....somehow they gave me 3 for $6! Kindness I call it :)

    Almost at car when the rain came on ( we'd already had the hugest downpour an hour earlier) then drove home in torrential conditions, saw a car slide across the roundabout as I was approaching ( he was going too fast) , 2 rivers in my town( no rivers usually!) and hardly any visibility. It was crazy conditions!

    Treated myself to an episode of casualty whilst I made the dinner.

    Nice Facebook chats with my sister( she's a newbie to it!)

    And that's been my day:)

    From a text from son....did you order broken china?
    Me ...no, why?
    Him...it's just been delivered!

    A lovely ( but broken) jug from a dear friend back home , should be able to glue it together! Son: lots of brains but no common sense!

    frith junior you are a superstar :)
    poorlies stop what you are doing right now, put your feet up and relax! Get better soon
