Marilyn is getting ready to head out to her regular Craft group. I don't know how much actual craft gets done; I think it's just an excuse for a group of ladies to get together for a chat. No matter! I'm waiting for someone from the government to arrive, also for a chat, about how I am coping with getting older. It's interesting: the assumption is that at our age we can't cope any longer with the stresses of living and yet, I made a point of getting up earlier just so that I could have breakfast, clear away the dishes and make sure the house was clean and tidy, ready to welcome visitors. I nearly said 'nosy visitors' but I know they're only doing their job.
Jamie has said he will be here to show that we have supports in place. The particular 'support' he is showing this morning is to make sure Marilyn gets to her craft group to save me the bother..
I need to say how lucky we are in Australia, having a government and a system which takes the responsibility of looking after its citizens seriously. When I look at the shambles of a 'government' that they have in the 'Land of the Free', I thank my lucky stars that my parents chose to come to Australia in 1950 rather than that other place.
