Tuesday, October 15

 We've woken to a beautiful Spring day in Longford.  The sun is shining, the air is warm and the feeling is that this good weather should be enjoyed while it lasts.  Marilyn is getting ready to go to her Craft group and Jamie has rung to say he is dropping Archie off to 'look after me' while his car gets an oil change.  Jamie calls Archie a Therapy Dog whose duties includes looking after aged relatives.  I think it's more for Archie's benefit than mine.

I browsed through the Longford Community Facebook page this morning.  It's amazing what people find to write about. Apart from the regular requests for recommendations for help with gardening or removing rubbish, there are the sad pleas from people needing desperately to earn some money, there are the pictures of the echidna which has taken to wandering around Marlborough Street and the anguish from a fellow who was broken into last night; "does anyone have any video footage taken in Catherine Street last night?'

I suppose it's just a slice of life and would be typical in a million communities across Australia.
