New Week

Monday
THREE WEEKS TO GO and we will be in Oz. Unbelievable! There is so much to do still.
Up as usual for my morning coffee outside. Lovely morning again. Put washing on while I had my second cup. Fed the dogs and had breakfast. Hung up the washing and put another load on.
Diane and I got stuck into the office spring-clean. Also cleared some office queries. Hubby wasn’t feeling too good so he came home just after lunch. His stomach(gall bladder!) is feeling rather painful again. He had too good a weekend. By now the weather was building up for rain again so I put a third load of washing on and took off what was dry. (I’m sure you can imagine the ironing piling up again)
I needed to go to the shops so decided to go while the washing was on. Diane and I went into Meyerton while Hubby rested. We had several shops to go to so it was nearly five when we got back. The sky was very dark and the wind was blowing hard. We unloaded the shopping and I got the rest of the washing off the line. I had a quick glass of wine with Diane outside. As we finished it started to rain.
I started supper and while I was busy Ali and Travis arrived home. Because of Hubby’s stomach I made very plain food – baked potato and lamb for him- with creamed spinach for the rest of us. He is back to drinking black tea. We ate and because of the weather couldn’t use computers so we watched TV. The late movie was called `Perfume’ and was about a very sick guy who killed girls to distill their perfume. I can’t believe we even watched it. No accounting for taste! We had 11mm of rain.
Tuesday
When I got up to let the dogs out the weather was overcast and very chilly with a strong wind. Too unpleasant to be outside so I had my coffee in front of the TV. Hung my washing out (yesterdays lot) in case we had more rain. Fed animals and made breakfast. Ali left for work taking Travis to Creche on the way.
Hubby left for the workshop and I started my invoices and statements. I worked until eleven then got ready to go to the bank before fetching Travis at twelve. Travis had a good day at the crèche and was pleased to see me. We had lunch when we got back. Travis was tired so fell asleep about 2.15pm. I quickly did some more office work until he woke at three. We sat outside as the weather was nice and sunny having a drink and donuts – oops not helping with looking good in Oz. Will have to behave tomorrow though I know we have lots of exercise lined up for us there. Travis enjoyed sharing with me.
We spent the rest of the afternoon playing in the play area. We were sitting in the sandpit when Hubby came home and he joined us there. Diane made us coffee and Hubby had his black tea. The sand was a bit wet still and Travis got rather dirty. Hubby took him around to the swing and horse. I was sitting in the sandpit doing a crossword puzzle when Hubby started laughing and told me to come and look at Travis. He had taken Travis on the slide and there was water in the bottom of it from the rain. He was filthy and his nappy was dripping wet. I stripped him off and took him for a bath. After his bath I gave him his supper and started ours. After we ate Ali came home and put Travis to bed. Diane and I watched TV – there are some good programs on Tuesdays. We have started watching Ghost Whisperer as well as CSI. I carried on with my statements in-between the two shows. We had our Milo while CSI was on. I have 14 invoices left for my last statement which I will do while Diane posts the blog. I think we deserve another Milo now.
Cheers for now.
