I have been really productive today. I have cleaned the house and attended to a few overlooked personal matters that I have been putting off. I have downloaded all my photo’s from my camera and my mum’s and put some on facebook for the family to see. I also put my little clip from Asha’s […]

It’s hard to believe it’s less than a week since Asha’s 21st. What a packed week I’ve had! It’s all been lovely and I have seen most of the people I love this week. I miss Kate and Tom today, but had Tom here this time last week for the weekend, which almost makes up […]

Friday I had a bit of a meltdown and felt overwhelmed with what seemed like too many different emotions to even be able to say what was wrong. I went home. Darin listened patiently as I spewed out all the major and minor upsets I was feeling and to be honest some of them were […]

My son came home for the weekend last night. He just gave me a hug and said “I love waking up here”. I can’t express how good that feels to me. I miss him so much that I can’t think about it anymore when he is away. When he is here it is a joy. […]

Words cannot describe my feelings when my son walked back in my door. Or when he left.
He looks vibrantly healthy and happy. We had a great time. He had stories to tell and was still able to entertain and amuse with ease. I got to see all his friends. It’s harder to let go this time […]

Tonight is a quiet night. Darin is already asleep on the couch and I won’t be far behind I think.
Sunday was busy, Wilma and Darryl came and fitted wooden venetian blinds to my windows. I love them. Asha visited briefly in the afternoon and it’s always lovely to see her. One of Tom’s mates, Phil […]

We had Wilma and Darryl for lunch today and Darin cooked a very yummy risotto. It’s my favourite food. It had chicken, prawns and asparagus in it and I love it when he cooks, because it’s always yum. I made a toblerone cheesecake last night for our visitors and Darryl was the only one kind […]

I am listening to ‘The Time Travellers Wife’ on audio right now. It’s been great to be able to get a book into me whilst I am doing other things around the house.  I think that ironing or cleaning leaves quite enough mental space to listen to a story whilst you are doing it. 
I am […]
