Sweltering ~~ in 45 degrees . . .

Well it's too darn hot ~ I tells ya. If Mr Whippy trucks are melting in Melbourne ~ rest assured the pets' water bowls are boiling in Ballarat!

I honestly planned to come play blogging the last few days, but with MyMan having to stay in Melbourne the week because we KNEW the trains would be up the spout and buses just make life difficult ~ so he has stayed and hopes to escape early on Friday.

If he has done extra hours and been early/leaving late then it will be no hassle ~ some of the guys are working from home ~ but we'll see if he can escape around lunch!

BACK IN THE WATER

Yahoo! Back doing hydro therapy, oh boy it was good. A bloody huge struggle actually, but if I wasn't frowning or grimacing, I was beaming from ear to ear. It was a bugger to walk in a straight line - felt like I'd done a marathon when I got out and had to sit for a while before heading to the showers - with an escort - just in case.

Chickies are growing ~ we are thinking either 1 boy / 3 girls or it is two of each. Few picks for your viewing pleasure. I shall return later Ron.

It is 2009 ~ This year I will SHINE . . .

Christmas happened; so did the start of 2009. I think I am almost at the start of the year, still getting it all together - but moving more and about to start hydrotherapy. Bit stir-bloody-crazy. It can be rather boring doing a lot of nothing.

Christmas was good ~ all of us together and no arguments. A few cold shoulders but really not my problem. It's not as if I have avoided anyone ~ although I did miss a January birthday. We remembered it was our anniversary while eating dinner on the night. 5 years married - 13 together. So it was a kiss across the table and on we go to the next one . . .


We've just 'hatched' 4 little chicks ~ Fred got a dozen eggs for Christmas, knowing we could get 12 to zero, and we put them under a very broody chook. It took 23 days, he delayed his holiday away with Nanny so as not to miss their arrival - but we missed all of them hatching - they just appeared and popped their little heads out from under mother hen. Very cool!!


Any way - just wanted to say HI. Still can't play on 'freecycle' as I cant drive to collect, and I really can't work in a 'normal' sense ~ too unreliable as some days are harder than others! Oh, things will be good when I can get back in the garden proper. Things just have costs at the moment, things that didn't this time last year. Oh and to bake...

Been visiting a friend's online cafe ~ the Serendipity Cafe! Way cool ~ peaceful and easy in this frantic world. Funny too! The chat all happens in the forum. Great place for recipes, planning, projects around the home, spiritual influences and general friendship & support as things get a little stressed and strained.


Might see if there are better layouts for blogging ~ I've seen some super stuff that use the whole page and want to have more space to write and pictures and recipes down the side in little sections...
Well I can see it . . .

Hope the heat hasn't got you too much the past few days ~ and you stay on top of it during this week! Chat soon.
