October long weekend

There'll be no photos for a while as I cannot work out why both camera and the photo printer will not work. The normal printer, mouse and keyboard are ok but not the others. John and I worked around the house and got a few things done. The 5 wasps nests were destroyed and the bottlebrush tree which had grown above the laundry roof has been trimmed. In a couple of weeks the council clean up is on and want to get rid of all tree cuttings. The fruit trees were pruned a number of weeks ago and now they have all started to flower , so there will be lots of fruit. I spent a couple of afternoons reading down the back as the weather is wonderful and it was a shame to go back to work.

RDO 26th Sept.

Today I went to the movies at Broadway and saw No Reservations and December Boys. Did enjoy both, especially the second as it was made in South Australia. When I walked past UTS it brought back memories of a day many years ago, as there on the steps were many young people in their cap and gowns, sashes in light blue. I bought a keyboard as the other one died, also went to Spotlight with the kiddies knitting book and now have some lovely coloured wools to work with.

Weekend 15/16 Sept.

Saturday evening ended up very unhappily for John as Hawthorn lost and I mean lost badly. Now we look forward to next year. Sunday morning went to the movies at the Paris cinema at Fox studios and saw La Vie en Rose Edith Piaf and we both enjoyed it. The market was on and bought a Turkish meal while strolling thru all the Mercedes cars that were on display. Dina rang in the afternoon and she caught the train to Hurstville. We had a nice BBQ dinner and chatted till 11. Wines were the main topic of conversation

plus travelling.

Culburra Beach from the dunes

The APEC long weekend gave us the opportunity to go down to Culburra to finish the final job in the kitchen and then be able to relax after a very busy week at work. The weather was kind so a drive around to Callala beach then into Nowra for a bit of shopping. A very tight finish in the Aussie rules game Saturday with the winner scraping through.

Gardening Australia

I entered a competition and won a family ticket to the Gardening Aust. show at Homebush plus a years subscription to the magazine. We had a lovely Sunday wandering about, looking for new and different things to plant. Friday I had off work as had an eye infection which will take a little while to go away. John was really happy Hawthorn won.

Week ending 12th Aug 07

It was my rostered day off on Tuesday so went up to Westfields and caught two really scary movies - Fracture with Anthony Hopkins and the other, Mr Brooks with Kevin Costner. I had a nice lunch with Diane on Thursday and while John went to watch Hawthorn play football on Saturday (Rodney has Foxtel), Michael, Belinda and Caitlin called in. Cannot believe Caitlin is 11 months old already and Belinda will soon go back to work job sharing. Pat came over Sunday and we had a glass of white as we caught up with the weeks news.

weekend at home - 4/5 August 07

Sunday was a day to work in the garden and John is fixing up the new hose to water the garden. The last hose would shoot off the tap and waste alot of water. Saturday was clean-up and then sewing the bibs with other odds and end. The wrapped bibs are shown and Evan's has been delivered. Hawthorn won by 65 today and if its on tv this evening, a copy of the game will be sent to the supporter who lives in the states.
