Another cold morning here but, at least, we're not suffering the torrential rain that's hitting so much of NSW. It's much easier to keep warm than to keep dry. Marilyn and I had to go out yesterday and, even though the air is cold it's almost a pleasure to dress in good cold-weather gear: over the years we've invested in light weight down jackets and good boots so the icy blast doesn't bother us.
I have the news on in the background; it's mostly doom and gloom with the bad weather, the war in Ukraine and Covid but, at least, the news editor is trying to find some better news stories like Nick Kyrgios doing well at the tennis and some fellow in the US who has just won another hot dog eating contest. It's good to see that some people are holding on to what's important.
Jamie and Nera are at Melbourne Airport waiting for their flight to Manila. It was supposed to have left by now but it's been delayed by a couple of hours. Marilyn and I drove them to the local airport yesterday afternoon to catch their plane to Melbourne and Nera was still on the phone all the way. They've found someone to cover for her while she's away but he was clearly wanting to check everything with her before she left. I hope she can have a genuine break because it's been a torrid time for her.
