HOT!

Ready for summer to be over. I am definitely a winter person. People who have lived in cold climates tell me I wouldn't like it for long...but I am willing to give it a go!

Sunday

V, busy day hence v. tired! Went for a picnic & bought a freezer & food processor & visited the Ginger Factory at Yandina before heading up a very rough dirt track in search of a picnic ground. Luckily found one and had a nice lunch. Home eventually to read lots of instructions, move furniture and make meatloaf in the food processor. Lovely day!!

And again...

Big day yesterday. Went shopping for presents for our new cleaning lady. Looking forward to that. Find I quite like a clean house & am dealing with the embarrassment! Then went to see Avatar in 3D. Was a bit scared that the effects would give me motion sickness but managed to be so in love with the effects that I managed to not be bothered. All I can say is WOW. Loved it and probably need to see it again! On after that to visit Aunty Jean & Uncle Ron (Arthur). Gosh they are lovely. Had a huge chat and ended up staying until after 6 o'clock! Think they thought they were stuck with us! Home to fish and chips & wine...such a healthy diet :(

Slack As

Well...not as easy as it looked! Can't seem to find a suitable time in the day to do this - not that I am run of my feet, you understand, just poorly organised! Today, however, my attention was hijacked by a puppy dog who wandered onto our verandah at silly o'clock this morning. No sign of an owner & showing no interest in leaving our yard - council pound people to the rescue. She was a lovely thing of indeterminate birth - best the pound guys could come up with was malamut cross kelpie...maybe. They were good guys - very friendly and lovely with the dog. Hope her owners find her ok and then get a great big fine for not having registration tags on her!

Lost Days

Well...not a great start to the blogging. I have fallen down in a heap. Again. Supposed to be at a party and instead have slept all day and now am watching old episodes of Black Books with hubby snoring on the lounge beside me. Ah, life-styles of the rich and famous!

Morning...again

I know that most people seem to regard early rising as some sort of virtue - but I am not one of them! Yes, mornings can be quite beautiful, but generally they are really no better than the rest of the day. I am a late night person. I like nothing better than to sit and talk/read into the wee small hours. Somehow though this is seen as a vice! Are we all still farmers that we need to be ruled by the BYB (Big Yellow Bastard)?

Cleaning Day!

Finally caved to the dirt. Cleaning lady is arriving in about half an hour & am really freaking! It was not until I started cleaning up for this that I really became aware how disgusting this place is!!
