A Different Sort of Day

Well today has been different.
Normally we are up and out before 6am to attend a prayer meeting.  This morning we were up at that time to drop off a car to be looked at.  Not our car but one making some odd noises.
To that end Merril and I hoped in the car and drove it to the mechanic.  We then caught the train from the station opposite where we took the car.  Things have changed since I was train travelling regularly.  The carriages are much nicer, and I think better designed.  There are places for wheelchairs near the doors.  The carriage we were in even had a loo. That is different.
Houses have gone up where there were none before.  In fact, quiet the suburb.  But that comes as no surprise judging from the development we see happening all around.
The train trip was followed by a walk home.  A portion of it was through a park.  That was real nice.  We talked to a fellow we know from the pantry who was out for a run. He is 70 something and super fit.
We spent a little time at home and then Merril walked to the shops.  I spent the time cleaning our fish tank and packing for our trip to Peth on Thursday.  I basically followed a list provided for our specific time away.  It looks to me like we may be heading for a bit of rain.  Still I have never seen Perth, and we are going to Margaret River and the island off Perth.
I am always glad when the cleaning of the tank is done, and the fish survives.  So far so good and the fish is swimming around.  That is a better sign then it floating upside down.
The car will be ready at 4.45.  We have arranged to get it.  Well Merril is getting it.  I hope to mow the lawn.
We are having someone over for dinner tonight.  Merril has bought all this stuff and it occurs to me why don’t we just go get take away.  But Merril’s call.
Either way it is a good day.  Very domestic but enjoyable.  And I just spoke to Merril.  She said a lamb roast is easy.  Secretly I am glad.
