Beautiful day up in Toc. Got the front deck oiled first thing this morning, then did a bit of painting out the front.

Shower the headed over to Cobram. Picked up a nice saucepan steamer from the op shop, some fittings from the hardware store to stop the taps dripping while they're turned on with the timers set, counter lunch at the pub then home to a text and email with the official job offer. Start Tuesday, 3 month contract, finish up just before Xmas. :D

Couple of Sols while filling in the employment papaerwork online, great day.

Great post, Jo.

Sorry we couldn't catch up at the end of the game today, but this year has been very enjoyable despite the disappointment of today.

I've always enjoyed our half time chats.

Did a pleasant 50 km ride to Mordialloc (5 people) on beach road at 9am. No wind and some sunshine.

Oldest came around at lunchtime. She's a pies supporter, a little hungover some commiserations but she's good. Watched the latest episode of Mad as Hell.

Listened to some pbs radio 106.7 blues music. Put on Paul Simon Gracelands on the stereo CD not vinyl (although I have the vinyl) now making dinner for Mrs WPT & moi.
