Looking forward to some me time.

It is so quiet here this morning. Bliss! D returned to work today, after having two sick days.I hope he copes ok today at work because it is going to be hot again. Prue is still asleep and I am not going to wake her because she has been having so many sleepless nights lately [...]

Decisions about next year.

I have just returned from dropping Prue off at the hospital for her pre-admission check up. I did not stay because they told her it could take up to three hours, so she will call me when it is over to pick her up. I can see Prue is starting to get anxious about the [...]

Melbourne- a wonderful place to be!

It was a warm day yesterday, so much so that mid afternoon we turned on the air conditioning. Normally, I would not have bothered as the ceiling fans are usually all that is need to get some air circulating but Prue was feeling faint and quite unwell, so the a/c was a better option. There [...]

Much udo about a suitable mirror!

D and I went out this morning to look for a mirror for the bathroom( he was not impressed by the mirror I had selected and intended to pick up this week-end). Our first stop was a fabulous gallery that Prue and I discovered during the week. It is only five minutes away and I [...]

Looking forward to the week end.

It’s Friday and I am so looking forward to the week-end. Warm weather is predicted and it will be perfect for getting out into the garden to weed and prepare the beds for some planting I have planned.I can also happily(overwhelmingly) that I had my first shower in the new bathroom, last Sunday night! It [...]

A sad blight on our community.

It seems that every time a news bulletin is aired, several minutes are spent reporting acts of unprovoked violence in the form of random assaults, home invasions, road rage incidents and violence that occurs as a result of intoxication. What is going on with society? Excessive drinking, senseless acts of gangs bashing innocent victims, sexual [...]

Enjoying the peace and quiet over coffee.

Today, I have intentions of having a quiet and lazy day because recently it has been full on and I need the rest. LOL
Yesterday, as I mentioned in my last entry, Mum and Bill called in and they stayed for dinner last night. It was good to see them and they said they had enjoyed [...]

Family and Friends.

Yesterday, I was up early to get organised for the arrival of Meghan, Prue’s friend from New York and ex housemate,  who was coming to have her hair done( yes,I was a hairdresser in a previous life lol) for the Derby Day races.We had a trial run during the week and yesterday was the big [...]

Getting ready for summer.

Yesterday I spent most of the day out in the back yard,mowing the lawn, weeding and putting away all the things that have been accumulating on the back patio since work on the bathroom began. It was fabulous that Prue  pitched in and gave me a hand or else I would have been working until [...]

A Beautiful Spring Morning.

It’s a perfect spring morning here in Melbourne; the type of morning that makes you want to spring out of bed and make the most of each and every moment of it. Prue had a friend(who is absolutely charming) over last night and we had a lovely evening chatting and laughing  about our quirky families!After [...]

Busy, Busy, Busy

Today is the first day I have been able to find time to actually sit down, catch up on reading my favourite blogs and update myself.
Prue has settled back in to home and other that a few readjustment problems for her father,it is going well. It is good to have her home. Even her cat [...]

A brief respite from shifting.

I thought I would take a few minutes for short update while I am waiting for Prue and her housemate to arrive with her belongings.Today is shifting day and unfortunately for Prue, she is feeling very poorly but she is carrying on regardless, wanting to get the move finished. It was arranged that I would [...]

Cleaning and some news on the job front.

After feeling lack-lustre yesterday, I have gone completely mad today cleaning out the spare room(as much as I can given that there are a couple more large boxes of walls tiles, I cannot lift), throwing out junk I have been hanging on to and making space for Prue.As we have not yet pulled up the [...]

Feeling low on energy today.

It is quite a warm and windy morning here in Melbourne. The warmth of the sun is greatly appreciated  after such a cold winter( I thought it was cold).I have not had much energy today for some unknown reason but I am certain as the day wears on I will perk up!
Class last night was [...]

We are on the countdown.

This week is the final week of the bathroom project…. it has to be because Prue is coming home at the end of the week. D has assured me it will be finished and all the tools, materials etc will be moved from Prue’s old room, which is serving as a junk room for anything [...]
