HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRIFFIN

 Today our Dude turns TWENTY!!!

ABOVE:  A photo taken last summer, I'm sure Griffin will like this photo.

Maybe not this one:

ABOVE: There's some good ones in there!  😂😅😆

Because of Covid and 'protecting our bubbles', we had not planned anything for his birthday. We would usually have a birthday dinner for him, but because Steve's health has been very iffy of late, I decided not to have a get together for anyone yet.

So Griffin is going out to dinner with his mates and will call in here later on.

After Steve's had his 2nd Covid Vaccination (this Friday) we can consider having family gatherings again.  

As long as Steve remains well after that vaccination.

He had a bad reaction to his first one (Reactive Arthritis), due to his underlying medical condition.  

Right enough about that... how about we have an awesome day?

I'm going to sew after I've done the housework.

10.45 :  So far this morning I've been to The Base and bought half a dozen donuts.  Which I then took to Bunnings and gave to Vicki who works in Special Orders.

She went out of her way last Friday to get our Special Order down here from Auckland, and got it delivered FOR FREE, when she could have charged us several hundred dollars for the hi-ab truck hire!

So ... she got donuts.  It's kinda becoming my 'thing' to thank people who are kind with donuts. 😂😅😆

After that, I came home and started cleaning my poor little car.

She has been sadly neglected of late.  So I'm in the middle of vacuming her, then I'll do an internal polish before thinking about the exterior.

I might take her to a car wash garage and save my back.

ABOVE:  I forgot to show you the detail on the 'throw' I bought for our bed yesterday.  It's gorgeous.

I just threw out two unopened pots of Hummus.  I used to LOVE IT, and had it every day when I was in Australia last year.

Now?  I feel sick just thinking about eating it.  I think it's probably because it REMINDS me of that time in Australia.  I keep remembering things that happened and well... I DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER some things.

I even have an aversion to seeing any photos from that time right now.

I hope I get over it because it just makes me cry, or get angry.

I've had massive hair loss this past year too.  My hair has gone from being thick and healthy to thin and not such good condition.  I am still losing literally handfuls of hair each week!

There was even heaps in my car!  All over the damn place.  Hair everywhere.

I am thinking of mentioning it to my Doctor because it's worrying me, and that's probably contributing to the loss as well now.

Right, back to the car.  Time to polish shit inside.

ABOVE:  This evening I'm going to this at Spotlight. I've not been to a 'VIP EVENING' before.  As I have a $40 coupon, it's worth going.

Bex is coming with me.  She's not been to Spotlight in weeks!  She's literally hanging out to go.

I wonder if it will be worth it?  Suppose we will find out tonight. 😊

GOSH, there's a car SCREAMING up and down Resolution Drive this afternoon! I hope the cops catch them.  So dangerous.

7.33 pm:  And the Spotlight SALE?  FAR too many people, the concept of 'social distancing' was ludicrous.  There were far too many people in the shop, shoulder to shoulder in places.  

We did a grab and run ... I got three pieces of fabric, Bex grabbed a few yarns she needed.  That was it.

Also, their fabric stocks were incredibly low, so not much to choose from either.  

I certainly won't attend a VIP evening ever again.  The discounts were just the same as normal sales.

I'm going now... it's time to relax and watch some mindless TV till bedtime.
