The day started with the mediocrity of wordle and me concerned that the high of the preceding week may be replaced by the depression of life that afflicts me.
Heard James and Henry making noises about park run. Concerned that running on my sore knees might not be a good thing but that getting into the habit of some exercise would be, decided to come and watch. Walked 10 minutes in with the tail walker (Roger) and then figured the brothers would be reaching the turn around, I cut across to the return track. Photo'd them as they passed. Noting that they were beaten by a fellow pushing a pram with a kid running beside.
Home for an oversized breakfast- bacon Eggs Mushrooms Tomatoes.
Marcus and Soph arrived for Marcus's birthday lunch. We were full and had no food so Marcus had to retrieve supplies from his car. How's that for hospitality (not).
Late afternoon and Henry again started mooting suggestions of a walk. 8k's it turned out. Reminisced about playing cowboys and Indians and family walks as kids in this bush.
We had built a home made party line telephone system between my bedroom and my brothers bed room. Across to next door then up the back fences up about 10 houses to Karl's place. At night we'd lie in bed and talk much to our parents annoyance. Occasionally having to quietly remove the fly screen and slip out through the bedroom window to fix a faulty connection and restore service. The ruminants of the wire still visible 47 years later on the neighbours carport.
Upon return, we bought Steak, corn, Mushrooms etc and cooked dinner washed down with some great red wine.
