Marilyn set her alarm this morning to make sure we were up at a reasonable time. After years of early-rising I think I can be relied upon to have my eyes open by 7 o'clock but there have been too many cases recently when I snored until later. My bladder is a pretty reliable alarm clock but not such a great time-keeper. After all, who would choose to get up sat 3.17 am as I did this morning.
Today is Marilyn's day for going to her Craft group. It's more of an excuse to meet up with some other ladies for a bit of friendly gossip. This group also raises money for charity by having what they call a Trade Table. Everybody donates something and buys something else back. Marilyn might come home with jelly crystals or home-made chocolate slice. Who knows?
A few months ago we tried ordering Meals on Wheels but it wasn't successful, so we cancelled it and went back to preparing our own. When I had my Aged Care assessment the young woman recommended ordering meals from Toosey, the local Nursing Home, and our first try was great: good serving, plenty of meat and tasty vegetables. So, we've decided we'll order a week's menu to see whether it might work for us and save Marilyn the drudgery of being in the kitchen.
Every little bit helps.
