It's rained overnight but the sun is shining now so we expect a nice day. I'm always happy when we have an overnight shower because that means I don't have to do my morning chore of watering. We have Archie with us at the moment as Jamie has flown off on the early flight to Melbourne. A committee he is on is visiting a health facility in Victoria to get some ideas for one proposed for Launceston. Nera, of course, is working so we're the back-up as carers for Archie.
One of Nera's nephews has applied to study in Australia. He has finished his schooling in the Philippines and has enrolled to study Nursing in Launceston. His ultimate ambition is to be a doctor and he is very bright, so they all expect great things. Jamie and Nera already have a lodger: a young Filipina woman, sister of a friend, so they've had to set up another bedroom for Brendan. They're both very social so will enjoy having a full house.
Anne flies home this afternoon and I think she's looking forward to being back in her own place. While she has been away, her family has made arrangements with her retirement village management to provide her with more care: evening meals, better support services and so on, so the hope is that she will live independently for longer. There's no fun in being older and having to live on your own.
