THE LAST ONE!

 Well.... another proud Mother moment happened yesterday afternoon.

ABOVE: Our youngest son got his Restricted Driver's License.

He's now legally allowed to drive.  Next step will be him buying his first car.

And, best of all, there is some serious talk of him and his girlfriend moving back to Hamilton.

That would be so neat.  We would have all our kids living here, except Mike (and Joyce of course).  The house will be buzzing on the weekends!

Right, how about some boring shit next!

ABOVE:  While in my sewing room yesterday, I got to watch my street get new road markings.  Yeah.  Riveting stuff.

ABOVE:  Probably shown you this garden before!  But... OMG it's a mass of purple flowers.  And BEES.  So many bees.  I pissed them off the other day when I was washing the windows.  I was surprised I didn't get stung, they were all around me!

ABOVE: Our new 'Princess Maud' shrub is growing like mad.  It certainly seems to like where Stew planted it.

ABOVE:  At the end of Spring last year we planted 3 new Hydrangea plants.  And even though I watered them all through summer, they did appear to die.

Now?  Coming back to life!  That's  neat.  I hope they are well established by the time next summer arrives, so they don't almost die again.

Ok, that's the end of the boring stuff.

Today... The girls get groomed at 9 am.  They should be ready for pick up around 11-11.30 am.

So I'll have to pull me finger out a bit earlier than usual, and make myself presentable. 

Tonight it's Card Night... here.  So I better sort out some supper for us.  It will probably only be 3-4 of us, as not as many turn up when it's here.

It is a 30 minute trip from Cambridge after all.  😐😕  I don't expect everyone to traipse over here.

And that's me for now, better get a move on.  The traffic is likely to be nuts just when I have to go out.

1.07 pm:  Well I've had a busy morning.

I got the girls to the groomers on time, then came home and did some housework.  I really should vacum too, but my back is like "Bugger that!".

Both dogs pee'd on the floor at Animates!  Bit embarrassing, but seems they are used to it. They look wonderful now, must get a photo to show you after they've slept off the trauma. 😂😅😆

Since yesterday this laptop of mine has been freezing spasmodically.  Totally want to smash it with a sledge hammer!  Does my head in when a computer glitches on me.

No patience.  NONE. 

I've killed about 3 mouses in my day. So much satisfaction seeing them fly to pieces.

I suppose I WILL  get the bloody vacum out and slowly swipe over the worst bits.  

Off I go... muttering loudly.

1.45 pm:  And I've got the vacum out, with an extension cord plugged in so I can reach further.  Vacuming, vacuming, and the cord gets tangled up and comes out of the wall.

I'm like, "Fuck, fuck FUCK it all" ... yeah really loudly.

And the dogs go nuts.  Someone is at the front door!

FUCK... bet they heard me swearing like a trooper!

BUT NO!  It's my neighbour J, and she's 99% deaf.  Phew, am I bad to thank god she's deaf?

LOL.  Anyway, in she comes with a container full of fruit and capsicums.  And we have a yak.  As much as you can when it's quite hard to understand her.  But we get by.

She's just a lovely lady to have as a neighbour, mostly cos she can't hear our dogs barking or me swearing!  😆😄😊 

This vacum is killing my back.  I'm SERIOUSLY considering getting one of those plug and go ones.  Steve and Bex have one... I might borrow theirs a few times and see if it is better for my back.

They are fairly pricey eh?  Anyone had one and found it awful?

Well.... card night here was lovely.  Lots of banter, laughs, snacks and lovely company.

I will show you the Winner and Loser photo tomorrow, cos I'm starving and want me dinner!

At 9.23 pm.  Yeah.  Didn't get a chance to have it before they arrived today.
