post ten

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.

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.

Anyway she gave me a few trinkets and plants to remember her by and she will pop back occasionally.

Enough sitting , time for a lay down and read before off to docs.
