Closed at four!

Went in to town today just after four, to do a bit of shopping but every place was closed. Met Ben van de Camp who told me that this is the norm here, some will even close earlier on a Saturday if business is quiet.

Came home and did some weeding instead (I hate gardening!) went for a walk and had some dinner. Had an enjoyable dinner with Eugene and Jenny last night which means that I will be eating Irish Stew for a few weeks. Did extra in case the 'girls' called but they were unable to make it. They had eaten here last night and it was great to catch up on home and to share some travel stories.

Sitting down now to watch Kennelly play for The Swans against The Western Bulldogs. The Dogs were the better team during the season but The Swans had better form in the last few weeks.
