Saturday morning we went to the farmers' market at the Collingwood Children's Farm -- got there reasonably early so there was actually still some produce left. B bought a rabbit (which I missed out on tasting tonight as I'm working). Then he kindly drove me to Glenferrie Rd where I picked up my copy of the german work-book before our visit to Victoria Gardens for the supermarketing. It may be cleaner there, but there's precious little else that would take us back regularly; perhaps Toscano's.
After lunch with P&B it was home to do my impersonation of a troglodyte, using the front rooms as a cave to avoid the 40-degree heat. Around 6pm I realised that it was slightly cooler outside so opened up all the windows and doors; the place cooled off slightly but I didn't get much proper sleep.
To Mum's on Sunday after a late start. She saw the eye specialist on Friday and got the all-clear. She's very happy with the right eye; it's now much better than the left, which is as it should be considering the right one had the cataract removed. Sunday afternoon and evening were spent between the telly and the computer, where I have been ripping CDs to transfer to the Zen. I now have over 1000 tracks loaded, representing over 100 CDs -- and that's only taken up about 4.5Gb. Still 25Gb to go...
In the evening was the second part of Death in holy orders -- Jesse Spencer showed that he and fellow-Australian Constable Cameron (The Bill) share an ability to pull down the sides of their mouths in an all-purpose expression of displeasure; I think they think it's "acting". Fortunately Spencer has a few other more pleasing attributes, some of which we got to see when he went skinny-dipping in the North Sea (brrr).
New tenor at Gloriana brings our numbers to five which will make things a bit easier. Not sure about the new piece yet; but it is a delight singing the Britten again.
