END OF A LONG, HOT WEEK

 Stew has been hanging out for today.

The end of his first week back at work, and he's exhausted.

I doubt he will want to do much this weekend, except sleep in, he's really tired.   

But that won't happen as we have Lacy and Keera this weekend.

Maybe he can have a 'Grandad nap' in the afternoon instead?

I forgot to show you the WONDERBOOM speaker I got last night.

It's GORGEOUS... and will certainly give me more volume when I'm listening to music!

There was quite a large selection to choose from at Harvey Norman's... but as soon as I saw this one, I just had to get it!  Every other speaker paled into insignificance. 😂😆😅

ABOVE: No prizes for guessing why I chose it eh?

Isn't it pretty?  It's a heavy little beastie too.

ABOVE:  I have no idea why you would want a waterproof speaker that floats?   But nice to know if it ever falls in the pool it will be OK.

So today ... I've got the housework to do this morning.  Then later on I will probably have a swim and just relax.

Or I might do some sewing.

OR... I'm thinking of doing a painting to hang on the fence outside my sewing room... so it's a nice view instead of a boring wooden fence.  I'm still thinking about doing that.

So, there ya go... not too much on today.  What are you doing?

Got any fun weekend plans? 

ABOVE:  And there we have Marley, checking out my new summer sandals.  They were priced at $79, but because Stew bought some jandals we got mine for half price.  But that's not all!

Stew had a $30 Christmas Gift Voucher, so my new sandals ended up costing us a grand total of .... $9 !

You sure can't beat that.  I am going to wear them today to get used to them.  They are like a combo of a jandal and a sandal, so might take some getting used to.

1.10 pm:  I just got home from the supermarket.  I wanted just a few odds 'n' ends that I missed the other day.

I also got some Epoxy Resin, to try it on some old Alcohol Ink Tiles.

Lunch was a bacon and cheese sandwich.  Once that's 'gone down' I will probably have a swim.  

I was sitting here, and remembered something 

'S' said yesterday while we were yakking in my shop.

He said:  "Grief is the price we pay for love", and how true is that?

If we didn't love a person deeply, we would not grieve for them.

I know I will grieve for my Mum for many years to come.  Hell... I still feel intense grief for other family members who have died... it never really goes away.  You just have to learn to live with it.

It has now been three months since Mum died, and the 'moment's are getting less, the weird 'out of sync' feelings are less... so it's all good.

FELICITY:  Thank you for you comment.  Unfortunately I hit 'DELETE' by accident... wet, slippery fingers while in the pool!  Yes, I check my phone while I'm in the pool!

The pool today... almost WARM!  Bex and the boys have just had a swim with me.  They will be coming back after dinner for another swim too.

That pool is a life saver!  There is not a single cloud in the sky today.  

8.27 pm:  Dinner tonight was beef sausages, mashed potatoes, veges and a lovely brown onion gravy with added onions and bacon.

Brylee called in for a swim, as did Steve, Bex and the boys.  Brylee got to take home our left overs for her dinner tomorrow night.

Now it's time to sit back, put our feet up and relax for the evening.  Just the two of us.
