Marilyn is going out for lunch today with the ladies from her Probus club. They're driving into Launceston to a very nice Chinese restaurant where they will, no doubt, wine and dine to a high standard. Am I invited? No! It seems, in Longford, hsubaands and wives lead separate social lives.
I've commented before that the two Probus Clubs in town maintain a strict gender divide. Few wives come to the Men's Christmas Lunch and men are not even invited to the similar function at the Women's club. Having said that, Marilyn and I were surprised yesterday to receive an invitation to a Morning Tea at the home of one of the Probus ladies. Her husband is a member of the men's club so maybe they're trying to mend the fences. We'll see!
It's overcast today but I don't expect it to rain. I might mow the lawn while Marlyn is out or I might not. We'll see.
