Good morning Stringers 

Felt like my eyes had been rinsed in sand this morning 

Alarm set for 3.30am so I could bid on a UK located history book I wanted and, although it was printed in Perth, had proved impossible to source for anywhere near a reasonable price.  

BUT 

It was worth the early start 

Back to bed until 7.15am and alarm again - had an 8am meeting at office 

Finally home, rest of household still asleep and am now partaking of a cold coffee after a Maccas bacon and egg burger lol lol

Wise move on your part Prim - to stay indoors after the heat of the week even though you had a good sleep in this morning.  Any news on how the 'interview' went?  Able to show her the door yet?

Flashie I hope your shoulder is feeling a tad better (at least) today.

~~~ waves to Deb, Nics and other friends who might be reading this .... and that includes you 

Whilst I was waiting for the auction to finish and, since none of you were around, had a read around 

All I can say is some must have very unhappy lives that they have to come in here and spew forth with their bile.  Others I just love reading - they are not just flat words on a screen - and they shine a light on the happiness which they so obviously find in their day to day lives
