Busy, Busy

   A hectic start to the day - I was down at the tennis courts by 8:15 as no one was available to open up and start the coffee. Also the coffee creamer had gone walkabout so I had to make a quick run down to the store to stock up.

   Next stop was the RWTO meeting and I made it there by 9:10 giving me time to lay out the name tags and the book sale before the meeting started. Finished the meeting by 11:00 and I sold 59 books today ($29.50), a record! Then lunch at noon, salad, roast beef with veggies and horseradish. The caterer serves rice and potatoes with the meals which seems an inordinate amount of carbs so I don't eat either but the rest was quite filling. Apple pie and ice cream with coffee for dessert. I will just have a bowl of soup for dinner tonight. 

Good News

   Money problem solved with one phone call to the bank and another to the Builder. The money is back in my account and lots of apologies all round. So I should make it to the end of the month.

Money Problems

   Another scorcher today. It was 28C when I was coming home from demo practice around 4:00 p.m. Got a nasty shock at the bank machine - my chequing account was almost empty. I usually have a cushion of around $1000 but there was only $80! I immediately suspected what had happened - the post dated cheque I had written to the guys doing the path had gone through. Grrrr! I will have a talk with them and the bank tomorrow and see what they will do. Also the telecom company charged me more than the agreed upon payment I negotiated last week. Another phone call to make tomorrow.

    We only played tennis for an hour this morning - as there were just three of us we had to play Australian singles ( the server has the singles court) which is much more tiring. I was the first to bail out but I did win two of my singles games. The effort was just too much!

   The second episode of Outlander is on TV tonight so I will have a quick dinner, tidy the kitchen and settle in for good hour in front of the set. I missed the Davis Cup match this afternoon but Canada was victorious!

The Weekend

   Another lovely day - 27C at 5:00 p.m. - but I wasn't out much. Laundry done and dusted by 10:00 a.m. and off for a grocery/library/ bulk food shop. Now I have just $28 to last me to the end of the month but this is last month's money so I have done pretty well. I'll use my credit card for food buys.

   Finished the RTO minutes this afternoon and will send it off to Gary tonight - hope he doesn't want any corrections. It came in at just under three pages which is my goal - no room for additional comments.

   Canada is playing India in Davis Cup this weekend and they need the doubles match to stay ahead. It's down to the last set but they are up 5-2. Surely they won't go down!

   I couldn't decide what to have for dinner (I made soup for lunch and don't feel like any more cooking) so grabbed some shrimp out of the freezer. I really should have made a vegetarian meal - I have lots of veggies, beans, lentils etc., but no imagination!

   The doubles team has won their match so now Canada goes up 2-1. They will just need to win one of the reverse singles matches tomorrow. I'll be watching!
