Ah yes of course I remember you LISTEN to your books. I still
cannot imagine this ... I still prefer to READ my books :) More
normal to me :))))))))))
True I do not get up early enough to go out for brekkie
!!!!!!!!!!!! I tend to have my toast around 9-9:30am or even
later some days in Winter :))))))))))))))) Today I was up at
08:40am as the sun was shining into the bedroom via the small
window above the bed .... covered to keep out the morning summer
sun shine with curtains too BUT it was shining through !!!!!!
Woke me up after I had spread out and dropped off to sleep
again after taking my Thyroxine and John had got up and dressed
around 7:15am !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lunch is a better idea and it only seems to happen IF we are
shopping in Whanganui or Hawera and go to McD's for JOHN to
have lunch and the I Do not cook dinner ;)

I didn't think I would ever listen to books either, but I prefer
it that way these days. I can listen all day while I do my work
or gardening or anything else..........much more convenient
[emoji7]
I suppose as you don't get to see the sun much, you are not used
to having it shine on you while you are sleeping!!!! You need
block out curtains, I have block out blinds which makes my room
nice and dark.
I NEVER eat McDonalds, can't stand the stuff and don't
understand how anyone can!!!!! The only take away food I do eat
is fish and chips, even that is rarely these days.

I did especially put up the small blackout type curtains to
block out the morning sun in the window above the bed when we
first moved in here !!! I remember telling you and I remember
YOU telling me to get Block Out blinds and I DID look around for
them but it was too much of a hassle to fit them !!! So the
window is half covered with brown paper to keep out the morning
sun PLUS the special lined curtains and I have then clipped or
stapled down along the bottom of the window edge
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It does work .... but they need fixing
again for summer :)
I Just cannot imagine listening to books with ear phones on my
ears !!!!!!!!!!
John had Mc'D s today but I had a few chips and the coffee was
watery ! We went to the Mc'Ds by the hospital.... Not the main
one .... Hopeless and I Am sure I Have said THAT before too
!!!!!!!!!!

I love shopping at home ware stores, we find all sorts of useful
gadgets, I don’t have an electric can opener, I rarely use a can
opener as most of our cans have pull rings on the top of them.
As for Mc Donald’s I’m not keen and we very rarely go, Paul
likes it, I usually just get the hash browns

Yes I remember now that I did mention the block out blinds to
you before, we had ours professionally installed, much less
hassle [emoji4]
I too love shopping at homeware stores, you never know what you
will find [emoji7]
Most of our cans are ring pull ones too, but there are a few
that aren't, like beetroot and some other ones that robert uses
when he is cooking asian dishes, like bean shoots etc.

Pass on the blinds.... too much hassle !
Yes I agree most of the cans are ring pull too except for a few
that do need a tin opener ! Not that many nowadays !
Err Hardware stores ????????????? Pass :)))))
I would PASS on McD's too but it does save me cooking dinner
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fair enough the ((((((((((Moira)))))))))) I hope the sun doesn't
wake you too early then.
We are going for lunch today, we have an appointment with the
Flight Centre to book out airline tickets to Vietnam today and
sort out accommodation etc. That's at 10.30, so we will have
lunch down there in the shopping centre in the restaurant
precinct.
Gail Face timed me this morning and asked us out for Brunch on
Sunday, so that will be nice.

We Aussies love our canned beetroot and have it with salads and
of course on a burger [emoji1]
We go to Vietnam in September and will be away for about 3 weeks
and we go to NZ in March for my 70th birthday [emoji4]
I will tell her you said hello when I see her on Sunday.
We had a nice lunch, I had barramundi, my favourite fish. All
the Vietnam trip is sorted and flights booked and paid for.
