Home Is The Sailor

Back home to a myriad number of things to do...

Laundry, cleaning, shopping cooking, vacuuming, washing, system recovery, wine cellar maintenance. Not necessarily in that order & some of which was unexpected. Certainly didn't think the computer would invite some breed of techno-gremlin to stay while I was away.

The rest is a mixture of routine & special event chores. Melbourne Elizabeth is coming to stay for 5 days on Wednesday, so the very least I can do is clean up the spare room, freshen the sheets & make sure there's some food in the place...

Having recently been a guest, now I'm a host. At least my small world is in balance...

For my part, I've received confirmation that the only friend I knew to have possibly been in the UK at the time of the bombings, was in Ireland  & is safe & sound.

Off to Cessnock & Newcastle for work tomorrow, could be the last long trip in the current car - if recent conversations & negotiations bear fruit.
