Good Morning!

..I got rid of a heap of stuff at foodbank b4 moved to perth @Former-Member @saturnzoon had all stuff was hoarding from covid, soap, tp etc etc they took it all, said they have emergency packs, so its not just food

Thats good @TAB glad you were able to get food relief. I do love Ronnie the CEO of Ozharvest. Shes a social entrepreneur and I've seen her in action. An incredible face to an amazing organisation. Its good to know people like her exist in the world. She has big black glasses and short cropped hair with layers of tribal jewellery. Thats her signature. But most of all she is genuine and has a big open heart @saturnzoon

Here is Ronnie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rXSQhWjzSg

No, I donated to them @Former-Member and grocery items

Thank you @TAB @Former-Member I will look up those places, I have been to the food bank once before and they were lovely, but I haven't heard of the others so I'll check them out.

@Bunniekins thank you, I do take meds at night time which are spose to help me but I think we must get used to them cause they don't work so well now and my psychiatrist won't change my medication, I have trouble falling asleep then sometimes I wake during the night, my normal is about 5 hours all up and I'm also a light sleeper so my dog's and cat or other noises wake me up as well.

@saturnzoon i know what you mean i sleep like a cat a couple of hours then am awake. sleep during the day cauz i am so exhausted with this heat. summer is bad for pea.

Thats nice of you to do that @TAB ‌❤️‌ I squeezed in a walk this afternoon. My knees are no longer stiff but instead very fluid now. Could probably be a contortionist the way I'm going lol. I need to do resistance bands consistently. I think I've lost a lot of muscle over the years. Do you have any idea on how to regain muscle at my age? Just wondering.

Have a nice evening @Bunniekins @saturnzoon @Glisten @Historylover

Good Luck @saturnzoon

walking helps muscle in some ways @Former-Member think weights mandatory for older people these days re building muscle

@Former-Member When the demand is high, my electricity company offers $5 off the bill for reduced usage for an hour. I think it is a pittance until I get a bill and find that two reductions have reduced my bill by $10 and that's no longer a pittance. I'm always grateful for it.

Well, I was talking to my lovely neighbour and, yes, she has a beau. I know she'll move before long and that makes me sad, but I just want her to be happy. She mentioned that she suffers depression. Life is tough for so many good folk. I don't know what I'll do without her. Her presence is such a comfort to me even though we can go months without a chat.

The cost of living certainly has increased, @saturnzoon. We didn't know how good we had it before, did we? I notice it at the grocer mostly and despite being a very careful shopper who compares prices for all goods and services, it is all getting very difficult. I find Aldi great for groceries but their prices are going up too. I have just bought a car because I couldn't do without one any longer so I'm waiting to see how tightly my belt will have to be pulled now.
