Well the holiday is nearly over. It was nice to be able to go to craft and do the extra long walks and do some work in the Library.There is still more books to accession but that is an ongoing thing.
We had a day at Carousel shopping Centre with Vicki & Caitlyn and I also caught up with a few bits of sewing & doing things like cleaning the oven( Ugggh).
Our new cafe ,"Waterways", run by residents is going very well financially. Myself ,along with a group of residents cooked cakes or biscuits each week but now we are going on a roster. Yet others work in the cafe to help out those who were trained to use the coffee machine. Tomorrow we have a treat with a Casino trip and since I am free ,we are going.It is good value because for $A 10.00 we get bus transport to & From the Casino, lunch, $2.00 coins for the pokies and a turn at the chocolate wheel. the meal alone is worth it.Ofcourse, they expect and hope you will spend more of your own but that is one's own choice.We had a lovely Christmas in July at the end of last month and quite a few events are planned such as a Kareoki night, quiz night and another bus tour. The old boy won't go to any of those so I stay home too.He did go to Xmas in July and really enjoyed it.
Just had my hair cut at the new hairdresser. She has been in the village for a few weeks now and it cost me $ 15.00 , which was still less than where I used to go, so that's good and she seems quite skilled.
Kids all came over for tea last night, silverside, cabbage, carrots ,potatoes and white sauce with a caramel,apple tart for sweets. We had a nice night.
