Tuesday, November 12

 Our electricity provider, Aurora, has introduced something called Power Hours.  Customers register a 3-hour period when there is no charge.  It's not regular; it's an occasional 'event'.  We chose 3 hours last Saturday afternoon. We postponed our showers to that time, did a big load of washing and I mowed the lawn (with our electric mower).   We save $1.46!  Hmmm. Not what I'd call a great success.

Marilyn has gone off to have a blood test. Apparently, she couldn't have it at the local facility and has had to go in to the whiz-bang clinic in town.  Jamie is driving her so I can get my paperwork in place for tomorrow's Probus meeting.  I made a mistake in taking on the job of Treasurer; it obliges me to go to the meetings and sometimes I'd prefer not to.  I've never been comfortable with men-only organisations; the Deloraine club was mixed and that was fine and I suppose I expected the Longford group to have a similar feeling, but it hasn't.  Being single-sex has an effect on choice of speakers, mood of the meetings, social occasions and so on.

My plan at the moment is to hang around until the next AGM in March, resign as treasurer and slip away gracefully.
