Yesterday we went shopping and she saw some seafood crepes in the deli section of Woolworths. We bought a couple, but she was unable to have more than a small mouthful. She did however have a good breakfast and for lunch I made Eggs Florentine and she was able to enjoy a full serving. Have to think of something appealing for dinner.
When I filled up with fuel today I noticed something on the pump which I hope Woolworths Caltex hasn't stuck on every pump throughout the state. See the pic.
Click the image to enlarge it.Joan's new car is in for its first 3,000 kilometre service tomorrow. It is a Ford Fiesta which was designed in Britain, but built in Germany. For a company which has been making cars for well over 100 years it has a few design faults. It doesn't have anywhere to store CDs even though there is a CD player in the dash. The window controls are in the armrest, but are too far back towards the rear of the door to comfortably operate with ease. The brakes make too much noise. The Ford designers need to look at a Hyundai or just about any Asian designed car to get up to speed. OK.... enough whinging!

Kev, it's often strange the inattention to annoying faults that can be found in modern cars. A few years ago I had a '99 Ford Futura wagon, the unpopular but entirely adequate AU model. The most annoying thing, but being a wagon it had a fair length of roof, which would sound off like Rolf's wobble board whenever the car was driven over a bump. And all for the want of 2 cents worth of polystyrene foam in the roof, which would have supported the roof, and insulated against heat and noise. I hope it's not just a Ford thing.
Very glad to hear Joan's feeling a bit better. Onward and upward.
Greg
