She has

a new bed, well a preloved antique bed

found on a local buy/sell/trade site

I love it and once the weather warms up

I will do a bit of work on it, sand it, paint it or

re varnish it. we collect it 

lunchtime Saturday

this will be Miss Sophie's new bed/ guest bed

its a double and her super sized quilt will fit it perfectly

and it will fit perfectly in her bedroom..

We have a 'handyman' here today he is installing shelves into all

the wardrobes, Emma and Imogen's are finished, Sophie's just need to

have the shelves put in and I am guessing the ones in the my bedroom

will be done tomorrow.

Happy Birthday

Fingers and Toes Crossed

My beautiful niece's partner is missing at sea

along with his best mate,

while setting cray pots off the south west coast of

Tasmania

we have everything crossed that there is going to be

a happy ending but as time goes on, hope is fading.

Love you to the moon and back Jess xxxx

Still Alive

We have just been really busy lately.

Gardening, yes, gardening.

I have chopped down 3 ute loads of tree branches.

2 ute loads of other garden waste

and I have maybe another 3 ute loads of

daisy bushes waiting to be taken to the dump,

and we have had so many people say that its

so nice to see the garden being cared for, it was

very neglected when we shifted in, I can't wait for

spring to arrive to see the fruits of all my hard

work.

last week we had the weather from hell descend upon us,

wild and windy and very very wet.

Unfortunately the 1 pine tree that came down in the storm

very cleverly fell between the other pine trees and

as a result the 30 remainng trees that need to come down so we

can get some sunlight all day into the house are still

standing.

the upside to the wild wet and windy day was I got to sit in

front of the heater and watch mindless crap on tv while I

stitched, sadly no pics to share as I am on the kids computer

while mine downloads the latest anti virus and emails.

I haven't been near a computer for almost 2 weeks!

My mama has had her last chemo treatment, now we wait and see

what the verdict is, she has everyside effect listed, and has done it

tough, but fingers crossed her final results are good ones.

My twinnies are turning 11 next week! I can't believe it 11.

My baby girl is learning Irish dancing at school, she is such a character

and our biggest boy Mr 23, has just moved to Melbourne for work

So all is good, we are all still happy and well and I promise

it won't be so long between posts again xx
