With P&B off to Brisbane I did the shopping on my own yesterday; Smith Street hasn't changed much. A bit of gardening in the afternoon before BN arrived for dinner. We watched Doctor Who before settling down for much chatting and playing with Google Earth. Her trip sounds great: LA, Vancouver, through the Rockies by train, time in Chicago, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, Boston, conference in Cape Cod, then time in Britain before returning in November.

To Mum's for lunch today as normal; afternoon nap before going out to dinner with DG and D&J N.

A busy week coming up: rehearsal, rehearsal, work, German, concert, rehearsal, concert - which brings us back to Sunday again.
