debris4spikeNo real news - did some gardening for Mum and Dad, and visited their neighbours (you may remember that Eric has kidney cancer) during the morning.
This afternoon Mum and I went into Torquay to do some shopping - and they have reduced car-park prices to try to tempt people to come to the town ... even though a lot of the shops are empty! Still we went in, and this is the view from the car-park.
Yes, I helped the world economy - I bought some undies (that were in a sale!)

The town near-ish to me, Launceston, always freaks me out when I hear the Tasmanian pronounciation ...we call it "Lorn-stun."
