Might as well stay grumpy all day



Had a bad day yesterday and things haven't improved!  Yesterday I cut out a dress for Emma before I realised the pattern was far too small, so might just as well throw it in the bin.  This morning I started off trying to do an Amazon order for two piano books for her and I'm blowed if I can do it!!!!!!!!!!!  Book #1 is fine, but, no matter how long I search, I can't figure out how to order #2.  (I had already completed a long list with Allegro Music Online, only to find out at the very last question they don't deliver to Australia.)  And there doesn't seem to be a shop in Sydney that stocks these books.  Just now I got your email, Michael, and in spite of the fact you made it easy for me to put in the blog, it won't work!!!!!!!!!!!  I can only import images, it seems. (But I'm sure you'd be able to do it.)

Yes Winifred, Lina and I had a really enjoyable day in Glebe.  She's like a daugher to me - I'm older than her mother!  And yes Frank, Anna Funder got her idea for All That I Am from the former East Germany.

I forgot to tell both of you sport-lovers that the other night I actually watched the rugby final in NZ, believe it or not!  Mind you, I would call it wrestling or all fall down.  What funny rules they have - you run two metres holding the ball, wrestle somebody who tries to grab it from you, fall down together, then everybody in the whole team falls on top of you in a heap!!!!!  I looked up the dictionary to see whether it was league or union, and read that one team has 13 players and the other 15, but every time I tried to count they'd do a close-up shot before I'd got to the end!  (Somebody told me later it's union.  I think we call soccer, league, union and Australian rules football here in Australia.)

I just responded to Muffy's demand for breakfast.  Last week the vet told me she's getting too fat, so I should cut back the amount of food I give her.  She's on a special diet for her bladder, and has both dry food in a packet and moist stuff in a tin.  This morning she wanted moist, so I tried to read the suggested amount on the label and of course the font is so small (about one quarter this size) which meant I was unable to read it.  (Thought I'd put this as another grumble for the day.)

Loved your description of the WRC final - it was so funny. Can't wait to hear your take on a cricket match - but as an Aussie that should be easy for you!!!
I was disappointed to hear you were having difficulties uploading pictures to your blog I don't know how to upload to my blog and was about to ask your advice.
Do you give Muffy the menu to read before every meal? xx
