A day of mundane, yet still worthwhile achievement. Tom had his penultimate swimming lesson this morning, in which he continued to improve, now swimming underwater and splashing vigorously in what passes for an approximate freestyle.

Called Centrelink and after 30 minutes on hold finally cleared up the lag in my Family Tax A and B application. Took down the Christmas decorations, washed my new sheets, entertained the child and his friend Reilly. Vacuumed and cleaned somewhere in between.

Even got in a little practice on some new songs for the cafe.

Yes, it feels good to be useful.
