Hello Ed, home again after visiting Mum. She is feeling more confident about going home, or my brother's place next Friday. I suggested that she spends some time at my brother's place on Philip Island as they have her dog there and it would just give her extra time to gain more confidence. Mum is missing her Village friends. She is enjoying meeting new people at the Respite centre and the activities that she can join in. However she calls them fellow inmates which suggests to me that she feels a bit couped up despite having a lovely suite. Enjoy your new day.

splashed-- peace dove ty  It is cloudy and 16 this morning with some sun this afternoon?? but the weekend is to be a wash out again.I didn't get around to the golf yesterday but will try and see some of it this afternoon as I should only have the nurse coming. The medical supplies finally got delivered yesterday but even that was an adventure--got a phone call from the guy delivering  them and thought he said he was downstairs so I said I would come down. I get down there and no parcel and no delivery man-- waited a bit and seen a car pull up and a guy hop out with what looks like could be my parcel--it was and I beat the guy here. Seen as it is Fri . a fe little jobs to get done and then that is the week hopefully. Hope you got in and out without setting off the alarm--have a good day

Hello Ed, Ha ha, if Harry and Meghan walked past me in Rye and said Hello Dianne, I would certainly invite them to the Monday Morning Coffee Club. Glad that you have sorted out the alarm problem, however I will keep listening just in case! Leftover dinner, Paella,  reheated and mostly eaten. I wont be buying that one again. Pea and Ham soup cooked and in the fridge, now all I have to do is blend it and sort into freezer containers. It will be much better than the supermarket prepared frozen meals that I usually have after working at the 'Oppie' , another Aussie word. I will soon be in bed to read a book. Enjoy your day!

Hello Ed,  hope that you don't set the alarm off. I will be listening. Re. you friend Kev, well he did bring all his troubles on himself when he strayed. Yes some couples who split can live in the same house. Andrew and Fergie are prime examples! I didn't see Harry learning AFL but I am sure he enjoyed it. OH! And Collingwood had a win last night! Once again I didn't watch or listen to it. As usual I worked at the OP shop  this afternoon. It was impossible getting a car park behind the shop as a huge build is going on and there were so many huge trucks blocking our regular car parking spaces. So I had to park on the street and then keep moving my car to avoid parking fines which one of our volunteers got the other day. Where we usually park before this nearby appartment build is behind the 3 shops with dedicated parking spaces. No such luck as huge trucks always block us. Oh enough of my grizzles, I just had to get it off chest. Now for reheated leftovers for dinner. Enjoy your day from Grumpy Me!

Morning splash It is dull and wet again this morning but 16 so warm enough--think the crop of choice this year will be rice at this rate. My ultra sound went fine and if al the noise indicated good blood flow I am fine but good thing it was eearly in the day as there was a code black at the hospital last night--probably in emergency but I guess there was a gun  out somewhere in the hospital--the whole world has gone crazy. and it makes a person wonder if they should poke their nose out the door but even then they seem to get into everywhere. Today is work at home day trying to get caught up with all that I have not done and put off until tomorrow.Have a good day and don't work too hard.

Hello Ed, I had to bail out of the family meeting as my reunion went on longer than expected. Mum and my brothers understood. I trust them to get Mum's situation sorted. Youngest brother Michael told me that he had a list of questions and as his partner Tracy works high up for the company who are looking after Mum. I have faith that  Michael will inform me about the outcomes. I will visit Mum on Saturday and then she can quietly tell me her feelings about the meeting. Happily Mum opens up to me in a quiet space without other people around. The meeting today was in her bedroom. When my brothers told me about it the other day I was already thinking too many people in her room. I will look forward to our quiet chat when Mum processes all that was said. In the meantime I and seriously thinking bed. Enjoy your new day.
