Padma keeps calling me from Indonesia on WhatsApp thinking that I might feel lonely on my Pat Malone. Tell that to Kookie who keeps following me around wherever I go! Despite his constant company, I did get a few things done, such as trimming the hydrangeas outside the library ...
... and at long last also de-cluttered the entrance to the house.
There's plenty more to do, and I won't leave "Riverbend" until next week Monday for another spot of essential grocery shopping, but that hasn't stopped Padma from engaging in her own retail therapy in Surabaya.
I never question my wife's choices, after all, I'm one of them, but on this occasion, old-fashioned as I am, I told her, "Cut those silly sleeves off".
