Sun worm? do not tend to go out. I go back to the society convention that one has to stay, cook and take easily. I’m happy to go with that. Last Sunday we had roast lamb.

How do you feel about Fridays? on which day it is sometimes to be reminded. The days are slipping away all together. I go outside and look at the traffic volume to make a guess on what day it is.
