FABRIC!

 Every day I'm here now ... I have no plans.

But still manage to fill my days.

Today I plan on going to Sawtell, which is a little seaside town just south of Coffs Harbour.

Mum loved to shop there, so I am duty bound to check it out.  I KNOW she would have taken me there!

As I told you yesterday, I bought a little bit of fabric in Coramba:

ABOVE:  And see?  I wasn't lying.  Just 4 pieces.  The top two are real pretties Mum would have loved.  And some delicious wool for a Christmas present.

ABOVE:  Every resident up Ron's private road is responsible for their section of the road.  This is what Ron's looks like.  Just beautiful.  No one else keeps their part of the road maintained or lined with beautiful foliage like Ron.

Such a shame really.  The road is going to rack and ruin.

It's a nightmare to drive on... and it's DELIBERATLY like that!

There's one property owner that EVERYONE dislikes intensely, by all accounts he's a right mongrel (call him PW).

So, no one is prepared to maintain the road as it would benefit HIM, and his business, that brings more and more traffic up the road.

There's talk of speed bumps being installed to slow him and his 'clients' down.

This is an ongoing, long standing feud between all the neighbours vs. PW ... the mongrel.  Sad really. 

ABOVE:  One little area on neighbour Mark's property... there's fairy lights at night.  Mark and his wife are lovely, and have been over to check on us; and brought 6 precooked dinners over for Ron!

And now... time to get up and go for a walk before it gets too hot.

ONWARD...

ABOVE:  Sunrise on my 62nd Birthday.  Cos... well you might have twigged by now that it's me birthday! 😂😃😄

11.55 am:  And I'm done with shopping!

ABOVE: That is looking down the main shopping street of Sawtell.  There's a lot of cafes, clothing shops and nick nack shops.

ABOVE: I just HAD TO BUY this clock!  Can't think why.  Can you? 😆

ABOVE:  I gave myself a nice morning tea... lemon slice.  It was very nice. Shame there was no birthday candle and family around me.  But well... it is what it is.

ABOVE :  This is the natural rock pool Mum told me about.  I am going to swim in it... next time I come over with Stew.

That will be in a year's time.

I also wanted to walk on the Coffs Harbour Jetty, but decided I'd like to leave that as something I do with Stew too.

I'm now back at the house, and making lunch for Ron and I.

I'm feeling really teary at the moment ... obviously missing my family.  I also picked up Mum's Death Certificate today. 😢

How EVIL can a person be?  Ron was just working on his part of the road when THE MONGREL drove along... going too fast as per usual.  Ron waved him down... indicating he'd like him to slow down.

And that FUCKING ARSEHOLE started banging really hard on the side of his ute, and laughing as loud as he could at Ron!!!  Laughing at a man who's just lost his 'wife'.  WTF sort of person does that?

OMG If I could do something really horrible to him right now I would.

Right... it's the end of the day.

I've had an average day really.  A bit low this morning, then just cruised all afternoon.

Dinner tonight was just sausages and salads.

Time to sign off, catch ya tomorrow.
