being very sneaky now...

cross my heart, Rolanda. So are you going to quietly whisper to June and me as to where you're going. We won't tell Gail.

Is it caravaning Rolanda?

It was OK I went to welcome Lizned.

yes Caravaning, local caravan park near Fremantle.. 23 ks from home, about a half hour drive.

You don't need to go far to have a holiday anyway Rolanda. Just getting away from the same old stuff is a great break.

I didn't tell Gail, I swear!

Oh Gail.. Miss Sooky...

mmmm bet that Susan has been telling again !!!!

Thank you June and to all the others who asked, both here and elsewhere, last I heard, Mum is a little better now. She went to the hosp last Monday with palps and breathing difficulties. She was given a battery of tests including an ECG and bloods and all turned out well. The upshot of it is that she is now on the district nurse's list, so she will be monitored in the home more often.
Every day with them in our lives is a good day.

No, Susan didn't dob, my ears were burning!

P is making a cuppa for moi, so will love and leave you, and be company with P.

Hope everyone has a great evening/night/day

See you all on the Flip Side

you shouldn't have been earsdropping Miss Gail Sooky.

Glad mum is on the distrist nurse's list, and is being kept an eye on her healt.

health.. that is

Gail, it's hard being part of the sandwich generation isn't it. How far away is your mum?

She's in Adelaide and apart from my brother, we all live interstate which is what makes it so hard.
They both know that we are just a phone call away and will drop everything to be on the next plane if they want it, but being so far is no help when you know 'it' could be any time.
The truth is I am resigned to the fact and am at peace in the knowledge that I have told Mum I love her. She knows how we all feel about her.

Hi Girls.
What a day here! We got a new computer etc. for Ethan. Connected it all up etc.
Then you have to make your own set of recovery discs and as usual Ethan did not read anything and just went ahead. As a result we have had to chuck out 8 DVD's.!! Why is it my men do not want to read anything? It does not happen by magic.

It was very warm here this arvo, 30c. Very warm in the sunroom trying to connect up modem/router etc. I know CynB is going out for cup day.
Are you doing anything Gail or Susan or Rolanda if you are still here.

Gail, I feel your mum is also at peace in the knowledge that all of her children love her. Not everyone can say that.

Not me Viv.
In fact, I used to do more for Cup Day when I lived in Adelaide than I ever have since living here in Melbourne!

Susan.

Hence why they call it a 'sunroom' Viv?!

Melbourne Cup day. I'd forgotten all about it.

Viv, there's a few people here chasing your decluttering services. I think June is one of them, but she's been told to stand in line. Actually, my niece is a professional declutterer. It provides her with a good income. Some of the stories she tells me are unbelievable - no names of course.

Viv, we play bowls in the morning,lunch at the club, sweeps etc in the afternoon. A good fun day. I think you said you were going to the cafe

#12345!

Sheesh June!!!
You're the Queen of TOPPS and ALL the big numbers!!!

Viv, males don't need to read instruction books. They know it all already.

Gail, I agree about being in Melbourne on cup day. We went to the cup in '63 and '64 (with a 3 week old baby but Mum was with us and it is the only time in her life she went to the races!)'73 we went out and bought a house and other years it was Sunday school picnic day.
In Sydney everyone organises lunches etc. If you are in Melbourne I think you are supposed to be at the cup. Two years ago we were in Dandenong area when that storm went through!

My last post vanished. will try it again. June! fingers crossed.

Good one Gail I think Tami or someone was trying for that number!

Yes so right Susan, well they think they know.
Sounds like you are in for a nice day tomorrow June. You deserve a rest.
Yes Gail, more like a sauna I think.
Not much de-cluttering got done today,computer tech today. Hehehehe

I did forget that the primary school my girls went to used to have a thing on the Monday called The Spotty Cup (Spotswood Primary). A fun picnic day for the whole school and their families with lots of events planned like teachers versus the grade 6 kids on bikes, and piggyback 'heats' for the running of the Spotty Cup. Good fun, but not on the actual race day.

Viv, My sunroom gets hot on a summers day but was lovely tonight when I was pushing the hot flat thing around. I have a TV to watch while I do it. Hope it is nort toohot for the pooter in the summer.

You got it June, you pipped me at the post!

'ello ladies! Did I actually arrive with Gail still in the building?

Gail, we used to live in Nicholson Street not far from Spotswood Station!

Well must hit the sack now,as usual read a bit of a book first.
Yes I will be going to the cafe tomorrow but I think I have missed out on going in the sweep.
Never mind, nice to catch up with John and have coffee and x words.
Nite all.

Viv, get some bamboo blinds for outside the windows, they can be rolled down when you are in there on the pooter. A rotating fan will help too.

Gail I did not even realise I was not watching the numbers.
