John came home today and is looking really good (lucky I had my cataract done). He seems to be improving each day and is standing much straighter, is in no pain, and has quite a jaunty little walk.

John took another photo of the Lipstick Maple which is now becoming lighter and pinker in colour. A lot of the trees with great autumn colour, eg the ornamental pear, lose their leaves fairly quickly but this lipstick maple hangs on and we get a good show well after the others are bare. Not sure if it is the tree or maybe where it is planted.

Today I ate the first sausage ever that I have not paid for. The butcher still hasn’t sent me his bank details. This is so common in this area and I am always chasing invoices. If I don’t chase them up they arrive many months later and there is a chance I might have dipped into the kitty. Even big jobs like the dozing work or the bore are not exempt from this. After a couple of calls I got the account for the dozing but I am now on the case to pay the driller for the bore. Received the invoice on Wednesday for the hay that was delivered last November!Leia mais
