All those who believed that cutting off the top of a blanket and sewing it to the bottom could give them a longer blanket reversed the process last Sunday. We are now back to 'normal' time in more ways than one because Easter is also behind us and the jetskis are back in Canberra and all is quiet on the river front.
Padma started stocking the pantry as she knows I won't do any shopping while she's away in Surabaya. In fact, I won't do much of anything else: baked beans on toast in the morning followed by a cheese-and-onion sandwich for lunch followed by a cheese-and-onion sandwich for dinner. It's called a balanced diet.
I'll conform to some social mores by once a week putting all the laundry into the washer and myself in the shower. I'll do it just before I go into town so as not to be refused service when I fill the jerry can with fuel for the ride-on and also buy more duck food. If by then I've run low on onions, I'll get a bagful of them as well.
As for the rest of the time, the gates will stay firmly shut so as keep out any unwanted callers who may want to disturb my pleasant daydreams.
