Still cameraless, I had a quick (male) look this morning in #2 son's area downstairs and couldn't see it, so I will have to wait to dinner time when he gets home from work to get it from him.
I visited the new LYS (Daisy Designs) in Fairy Meadow yesterday morning and had a lovely cup of tea and some food with the girls. What a lovely shop they have, and the yarn, all sorts and beautiful. I can't wait until my stash is reduced and I can really do some serious shopping there. I did get enough black wool to knit #2 son's GF two vests for work, the first one I started last night.
We went for a ride to Berry with friends for lunch yesterday, had #1son's FIL over and ate chinese take-away and played pool along with a few drinks, then later in the night I knitted.
I am pretty much over knitting beanies even if it is for the homeless ( I will do more later). I have done 8 now and have some in feathers which if they don't sell at the Knitters Exhibition in a fortnight I will send them to the charity with all other unsold items.
My egg finally hatched and isn't it lovely.
I am feeling pretty good with myself today, I took a huge leaf out of Jade's book and did some gardening out the front, finished off the weeding the #2 son started last week, got the good old poision out and sprayed the middle level which keeps getting these clover like weeds which have hundres of bulbs and just won't go away, so I got the big guns out today and blaster them into eternityI hope. I sprayed the growth out the back fence so we don't get any unwelcome slivery visitors in spring/summer, still needs a heap of building up there.
Did heaps of washing this morning and have even brought some in and folded it and put it away. I have a pork leg in the oven and mate you should see the crackling on it - I can't wait for that, #1 son and GF are coming for dinner, I told them we are going to the golfie for the meat raffle at 6pm so dinner will be early, #1son GF's dad is coming for dinner and the club too. The kids will go home then anyway. At this moment (3.07pm) they are over at her dads's visiting (across the road), and I am here catching up on what everyone else is doing and having a well earned can of bourbon and coke.
No other house work done....what's new.
Still no news on the two miners down in Tassie, I thought they would have been out by now, but now they are saying tomorrow, I along with everyone else in this country probably are thinking just hurry it up and get them out safe. And then there is the horrific news of little Sophie, the little girl along with one other survivor of the tragic preschool accident about two years ago when an older male driver drove his car right through the preschool building, these tow little toddlers were badly burnt, and Sophie lost her feet and some fingers and is still recovering from that, and then another elderly driver (80 year old male) ran her over in her push chair on a pedestrian crossing, what the fuck was he thinking going up the inside of a stopped car at a pedestrian crossing, and so what if he feels bad, he should never be allowed to drive again. Anyway, Sophie is a very strong little 5 year old and is apparently doing OK, she will be kept in intensive care for around 3 weeks.
Jade I am thinking of you, I hope your (I think it is) Sunday is going to be a lovely day with your kitty, and don't do to much other than enjoy it together.
This morning while laying in bed having been woke by the damn alarm going off (DH turned it back on why I don't know before going to sleep last night) I somehow through sleep heard a comp. for two tickets to see Andrew Strong from the Commitment at Yallah Roadhouse and a CD, you had to be the 5th caller when you heard Diesel's "On the tip of your tongue" song, again through sleep I heard the song, rolled over got the phone, dialled the radio stations number and it rang, I though shit I have the wrong number, you never get through like that, I decided to let it ring and hang up when someone answered if it was the wrong number (All this and I had no idea what time it was - the alarm goes off at 5.45am each morning), it answered, no-one there, I waited, then a voice said "Wave FM you are the 1st caller, I said OK and hung up, put the phone back and rolled over, I thought I will try again, rolled over picked up the phone and dialled again, again it rung, again Wave FM answered, I laughed and said what is everyone still asleep, the guy said they must be you are it then. He announced me as the 5th caller and now WAit for IT, I have two tickets to see the abovementioned person and When do you say. Bloody Mothers Day. That is probably why no-one answered as by now I have checked out the time and it was 7.20am, and that to me is not early.
Anyway we will go, I have told #2 son that we shall have breakfast as he has to work at lunchtime that day, and I will let #1 son know at dinner tonight. We will even make it to the golfie and then go out to the concert. I just have to work out which day I can leave work early to drive about 35 minutes to collect the tickets and CD before Friday.
I better check the pork roast out, it is smelling pretty damn good.
The title of this post is from a sticker my #1son and his FIL have on the back window of their cars, FIL's parents were Italian.
I have just read on www.ninemsn.com.au that Richard Carleton has died while covering the trapped miners report in Tassie, he was at a press conference and asked a question then collapsed from a suspected heart attack and has died. He is a reporter from 60 minutes.
