It is radio in mandarin right now on community radio. I dont mind it although I dont speak it nor understand it at all. The front door is open, light floods in the patio door, and I hear the roaring of austin in the backdrop.  The cat goes in and out at her leisure right now since the door is open. Dad just called about the flowers he got just now. He was happy. Hubby still has not returned. I hope all is well. I feel sometimes rather antisocial when I smoke so I avoid going out those days in busy social areas like Mundy park. Especially when I smoke. I am waiting for the gang's return from the dog park. It will be super busy right now unless people have left town for the long week end...Lets hope!
