semi-final

The sound of mowers and whipper snippers echoed around the neighbourhood this morning and John joined in. It was the second warm day in a row and I spent it in the garden. Had to cover the strawberries otherwise the birds would be having a feast soon. John wore his Hawthorn t-shirt to visit Rodney this afternoon. It was a very good score last night and now its the wait to see if he can get a ticket to go to the final next week.

Afternoon Tea

We got together for afternoon tea as Louise had a surprise - she is getting engaged and will marry in a couple of years. All the ladies were surprised but had suspected something like that. Everyone is well and a couple of the ladies are travelling in the next week, Joan to west coast of USA with all her family, and Margaret and Bill are off to Melbourne for a few days. Its work

for the rest of us. During the week I had a rostered day off and spent it at the Dendy in Newtown with Margaret. We saw - In Bruge, The Visitors and The Savages. All good movies and was able to fit in lunch between the first two.

Father's Day 08

Yesterday it rained all day so it was a pleasure to have a fine beautiful day. John had a good day with two phone calls from his lovely daughters and a chat with Lucy. Hawthorn won, John went over to the wine shop and he opened a nice bootle of wine. What more could a man want.

Wet Sunday

Big win to Hawthorn over Carlton. Buddy kicked his 100th goal. Huge mayhem at the game - stopped for 8 minutes. Finals start next week - Hawthorn plays Footscray. John worked in the shed and made much needed shelf space. I got into the garden when the rain eased in the afternoon and planted the seedlings Graham gave me - lettuce, cabbage and tomato.

another quiet weekend

Today was a great day to be in the garden. The snow peas have gone and the broccoli is nearing its prime. The cauliflour is just starting to form heads and will be able to pick in a couple of weeks. Still there was tidying up to do while enjoying the sun. John is getting over a cold. Thursday I met Diane for a nice lunch in the plaza. I had two days off during the week, Tuesday and Wednesday. Three of us went to the Dendy in Newtown and saw - When did you last see your father and the Australian movie - the Square, this was a violent film. We all enjoyed the first one the best.

Man at work

Sunday morning the weather was lovely and the man went to work out the front to get rid of the weeds which are never ending. I don't like using chemicals, so someone has to do it. My turn next time. Meanwhile I was in the veggie patch being watched by the chook on the look out for worms being given out.

Trip down the coast

Here we are at our favourite spot, Bombo, for a cup of coffee before we continued on to the markets at Berry. The markets had their usual fare and then returned, via the fish and chip shop in Kiama, for lunch. A lovely day.
