jumpers and sunbury

I was boasting to Mia the other day that while she was away I had washed ALL THE JUMPERS. This morning as she was getting ready to go to work (and I was getting ready to sleep another hour) she challenged me to show her where they were. There were none. I had washed ALL THE JUMPERS then apparently worn ALL THE JUMPERS and they were back in the bathroom basket. Cue canned laughter or more appropriately 'wah-woh' trumpet.

This afternoon I took my mother and Judy Hogg to the airport and afterwards saw a sign that said, Sunbury. Sunbury is the other real conurbation in the City of Hume and I don't remember ever going there. It is only 18 km away. So I drove there just at 2 o'clock, and just on 3 o'clock I was driving back, thinking, well, I could have done a lot of things in that hour, but at least now I know. Admittedly while in Sunbury I did achieve the major goal of the day (other than taking Jane and Judy to the airport) which was to buy a pumpkin.

Whew! Achievement. Feels so fine.

A week or so ago you were planning to go to Sunbury to buy a bookcase. Didn't you go to Sunbury then? Or is this some kind of blog comprehension test?

They have no bookcases in Sunbury.

I'm going to come back to this ep of Ryan because it has an amazing North Melbourne car chase, but first I want to honour Margaret Cruic...
