It's access that makes it easier

Rick,Karen,Bella & Sarah have gone to Bali for a fortnight , with friends so Oma



has gone "country" to look after the two big dogs,Oi and Nova. Well, the first full day started `with having to take Oi to the vet with a case of kennel cough and infected tonsils. It was and still is my intention to be completely lazy while I am here, do the essentials only such as eat, make coffee, wash up, make the bed and for the rest, do embroidery, sewing bits for the village stall on the 14th of October and watch foxtel. Then I'll do lots of internet watching since I'll have constant access to a computer, I do miss not having internet at home but it does seem excessive when we are already paying for the village internet.Why not, the weather is lousy, wet and cold so not much else to do and we are certainly not complaining about these lovely rainfalls.

Trev kindly came over and chopped the wood into smaller pieces 'cause I could not get the fire going. Cleaned up the dog poopies while here, which I really appreciate,as I don't like that job,especially when my dog is only a little feller.

Zeg Ger & Goos, hoe was de vacantie? Was alles OK voor Chantal & Edwin ook?

As for the last month or so, I am getting too old to remember details but it seems to just be the usual routine, babysitting, village things like Mah-Jong, worked`at the cafe again and make a cake about every fortnight. Don't get on the computer much because it is a pain having to go to the club each time and the internet room is in the Library and it hurts to see it not functioning as well as when I ran it.( not showing off, it's a fact)

SEPTEMBER 11TH.

That date has just passed and it is certainly still a painful rememberance. I clearly remember sitting up in bed and seeing those planes fly into the twin towers and then Vicki running in telling me what was happening. Then a little later the Bali bombings and so on to Spain and LOndon. What a horrible piece of History that was and it affected everyone.

Much better to remember is that that date is also the anniversary of our arrival in this wonderful country, 55 years this year.

Trev,poor soul has not had a good time as he had a spur in his heel and has been having physio which seems to have improved it` a bit. The he got a sore throat and took a n anti-biotic he'd had for his infected toe and came up glowing and itchy because he reacted to it. He's OK now. I got the sore throat and
cold which makes life a bit hard because it makes it hard to use the CPAP
Riley and Zoe have had conjunctivitus so I've had them home from school.Caitlyn goes to childcare on Fridays and loves it( it is a home day care) while I still mind her Thursdays and Karen got another` day work at the Travel Agency (Jacquie's) and loves it.Jo has dropped Thursday's work because Scott got his promotion to Senior Sergeant in his own division which he got on merit so that was well done. The pay is better hence Jo's reduction in work. Makes it better for the kids and Oma does not have to jiggle the time any more on Thursdays.Well appreciated.

There is a huge space to the next Blog, I don't know how to take it out so sorry everyone.

That's it for today, that's
