A Quiet Weekend

Saturday was a quiet day. After I walked Louis in the afternoon and caught up with my other dog walking friend B I went out again with Margaret in her wheelchair to meet the group who exercise their dogs later. This was instead of taking her to the shops.

After dinner we watched TV until after 10.00 pm and then Margaret was reluctant to go to bed but I managed to get her settled and lights out about 11.30 pm.

This morning was a little different as I walked Louis to The Cooroy Road to watch the leaders ride through on the bike leg of the Noosa Triathlon between 7.00 and 7.45 am. Before Margaret became too ill I used to marshal at the transition area but that means being away from home from 5.00 am to 12.00 noon. Our little estate is completely blocked off by road closures from 6.15 to 11.15 am while about 5000 cyclists ride by.

After Margaret's breakfast I cleaned up the main areas but as I finished at 11.00 am Margaret wheeled through saying she wanted to take me out to lunch. I persuaded her that as we are going out tomorrow for my birthday perhaps we should just go to the shopping mall and have a sandwich and coffee. So after 11.30 I took her to Civic and walked her around in her wheelchair. We shared a foot long Subway and had a coffee and black tea to drink.

When we got home about 2.00 pm Margaret stayed up trying to use her computer and is still looking for the small "e" while I snoozed in front of TV before taking Louis for his walk with B and her little Tenterfield Terrier. Now I am about to prepare dinner while Margaret had a nap and look forwards to a quiet end to the weekend,
