VERY QUICKLY....

We are dashing out to drop my sister Lorraine off at the bus depot... so just a few photos from last night on here for now:


 ABOVE:  gorgeous old building at the bottom of Queen Street...




 ABOVE X'S 3:  Meeting family...



 ABOVE: Opening Christmas Presents.


 ABOVE:  Lorraine with Steve, Brylee and Griffin.
Griffin is HUGE beside her!  I can't even think when she would have last seen our Steve?? !


ABOVE:  having some fun ...  can you tell I've GAINED... YES GAINED 5 kilos since Christmas?  OMGosh, it has all settled on me cheeks!

That would be me face cheeks... and butt cheeks.  *sigh*

Silly me.  Will have to pull finger seriously... I am so over being friggin FAT.

I'll be back later....


OH ... AND... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DARLING HUBBY... Stew, I hope you have a lovely day.


The sister is on her way down to Palmy, a ten hour trip on a bus.  I hope she sleeps!  

After Stew and I got home, I went back to bed for a couple of hours!  Nice.

Now... doing the housework, then helping Stew with the painting. 


Well... I made a month's worth of dog food this morning, and a Birthday cake for Stew, got steak out for dinner (steak, wedges and garlic bread for dinner), then as I was feeling a bit down, Bex took me down to the Hospice shop.


I loved catching up with Debs, and I told her I would be back as soon as school started again.


I TRIED really hard not to buy anything... I'm kinda broke.  But I did score another cane basket and a round cake baking dish in that stuff like rubber... silicone?

Anyway, it helped with me mood.  Then we came home and I had lunch at like... 3pm, then not much else yet!



 ABOVE:  Stew finally got all the painting done, and all the little holes in the plaster fixed too.  He's working on his list, but keeps adding to it!  He's only got  a few more days off work... wonder if he will get it all done?
I'm really happy the spa pool is up and running again, I've got it on a 'tepid' temperature, but Dante didn't want a bar of it.  
That is bound to change.  *smiles*


ABOVE:  Number 5 in my little series.  The tomatoes are growing, but not about to change colour yet... unlike the flowers which are really going for it.  Gorgeous colour too.  I don't even know what sort of flower they are?

End of Day:  everyone is tired in this house.  We really just fade in the evenings.  Stew and I watched a very ...  interesting movie tonight called 'The Reader'.  It was sad.
Time to head off to bed.

  12. I've watched The Reader too. It's definitely interesting but also disturbing as the teenager was played by an actual teenager. I wonder if his mother struggled with letting him play the role.
