wow! I have reached post no 10. Pity that I think more than I write as I would love to get all my thoughts down on paper, never mind. Been holed up and grounded for a few days with the old inflamed back issue. Means rest and ice. Sitting is kept to a minimum as it seems to hurt the bum bones then it just feels sore. Methinks that the 6 and half hours standing and sorting at the OP shop as a volunteer last Wednesday did it. So I had to cancel going to Ballarat to see the Archibald prize with Michelle on Friday, and canceled going to help Troy at his shop on Saturday. Am going to try to go to Ballarat this saturday. Saw Rosemary and Bill yesterday and will be doing a little house sitting for them soon, though because it is so close I will be back and forth to tend to my own garden. Barb is still in Queensland, miss her. Lyn has left for Tasmania, going to miss her though we really did just strike up a friendship. I wish I had her strength, bodily that is. Anyway she gave me a few trinkets and plants to remember her by and she will pop back occasionally.
It is horribly hot today with a warm north wind. My least favourite type of weather. Garden watered and a little exercise done but too hot out there for a walk just yet and not doing long walks until back is settled. Off to docs soon.
Christmas is approaching and that means another bd for me. All without Simon. I miss him. I will spend xmas eve with my children and grandchildren then xmas day partly with sue and don. Cant say that I am all that festive yet but maybe it will arrive.
Enough sitting , time for a lay down and read before off to docs.
