Thank you Ed for your reassuring words. Time will tell how they will react. I am  avoiding looking at my emails. I will hopefully put it out of my mind tonight and snuggle with a book and a cat or two. I guess that you still have the cats. The photo of the cat sitting on Sanrda made me smile. It looks like a big heavy cat. Somewhat similar to Mindy and perhaps Diane's Sagwa?  Haha, I don't think that you have ever told me the cats names, nor their breed. Mungo is a ginger and white cat with no breed to his name. Mindy is unfortunately part Bengal Tiger, although she doesn't really act like one. She is fat and lazy. All she cares about is me giving her food and sometimes during the night she snuggles next to me. Speaking about snuggling.... I have a book waiting for me and no prizes for guessing what I am going to do in the next few minutes. Have a great day.

IzzyJamal watered the Poppy, and spotted a Pushmi-Pullyu feeding on the Veggies!

[You have now spotted the Pushmi-Pullyu 271 times in other Gardens!]

Hello ED, I enjoyed the Monday Morning Coffee Club today. I shared my problem re. my neighbour next door wanting to put up a wooden fence and expecting me to pay half. $4550. It is a long fence. The Coffee Club all agreed that if the existing fence is fine then I do not have pay anything. My neighbour across the road also told me the same thing and Sarah sent me an official site regarding fencing and who has to pay. If the existing fence is sound I can refuse. It is and I did. I don't want to be boxed in by high fences blocking out my view of the coastal trees. If I wanted to be boxed in by fences I could have remained in Thornbury. The neighbours house is a holiday house. I really like them however this may make our relationship strained. They want to replace the fence and I don't. I have lost sleep over this. However I have told them, by email, that I cannot afford it as I have higher priorities to spend my money on. The ball is now in their court. If they really want to box themselves in they are going to have to pay for it. I will let you know wht transpires.

Good morning Ed

I must admit, if I wrote my memoirs,  only the good bits will go in.
Very soggy bbq yesterday. We stayed outside under the gazebo as long as possible.  Jim's sister refused to bring the cake out, so we had to go in for that.
Liz and Ed are in the lake district. All this wind has meant they can't get back across at the moment.
Hope you have a good Monday. I'm guessing your walk into town has been rained/wind off.

Morning splash--Another nice sunny start to the day and it is what you call fresh at the moment but will warm up again later. Yesterday it was almost turn on the a/c as it got quite muggy. I have a feeling that tracy was more enthralled with the surroundings that the baseball game--a lot of people are as that is quite the stadium and since they just redid it there is lots to see besides what is on the playing field and the atmoshere is really electric in there. Today I have a few small chores to get to(didn't get to them yesterday as was on the phone again)and then hopefully get a supper that I can get to eat. Have a good Sunday

Good morning Ed
Wow you sister must have a lot of diaries.
I started a diary in 1988. I was 28. Not sure where they all are.  In the loft I think
Chilly start today
We are going to my neice's 18th birthday party. It was supposed to be a BBQ, but I think we will be inside.
Have just started The great escape from Woodlands book
Have a smashing day

Hello Ed, oh we also have knife attacks here! It is crazy! And machettes seem to be the thing. Our ridiculous state government has spent a lot of money placing machette bins around so the criminals can freely give them up. As if? What they really need to do is change the bail laws and penalise the usually, young offenders. Out on bail and still offending and no penalty does not make sense to me. On a lighter note I loved the photo of Sandra with the cat on top of her. Sandra did not look happy about the photo being taken. The cat obviously loves her. Enjoy your day.
