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.
nite nite
I think I've gained a lot of weight this holicay season too. I feel my belly bulging. Great photos!

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday stew hope you have had a great day from Richard, Lucinda, Sophie and mikayla
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Stew. I hope you get some time to put your feet up tonight & enjoy a beer or two.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that movie but I read the book! I bet the movie is interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'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.
