....And in other news....

So.....once home I rang Centrelink and reported for the last time for my Carer payment which ends today. my last payment is tomorrow. Then I rang Alexandra about my camera which has been into get fixed since just after Anne arrived.I discovered yesterday that Alexandra had rung me three weeks ago about a refund or a replacement camera and I had missed her call.This is the second time I have had to take the camera back and she said I am to get new camera number 3 from Fuji shortly."It can't go wrong three times," said Will ever the optimist.There were starlings in the garden. I haven't seen any for ages but these incomers reminded me of home. Some native noisy mynah birds flew down and aggressively chased them off.I wanted to open the back door and shout out "WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD! WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ON?!".......but didn't, because it might alarm the neighbours.And finally some good news!.......we have had an invitation!............which we accepted immediately.We are spending Christmas down by the river with Tracy and Jen, Lois and John.Fantastic!
