WELCOME 2023

I sure in hell hope 2023 is mine and Stew's year. We have set in motion some changes that should make a huge difference to us.

We are no longer allowing people to pull our strings.

We are no longer allowing toxic people to get to us in round about ways, using situations to their advantage.

We are no longer getting involved in stuff that isn't up to us to sort out.

We ARE going to look after ourselves, and do what makes us happy, and healthier.

We will continue to love our family and do whatever we can for them, but not to our detriment any more.

I wish everyone a wonderful 2023, happiness, health, love and loving people around them.

Don't ask me what our plans are for today.  I have no idea.

I won't be doing a huge meal like on Christmas Day.  Just back to normal now.

At dinnertime Stew and I will be going to the movies.  I don't think we went even once last year, so we are starting the year on a movie high.  😅😆😊 

ABOVE: Latest on the parcel fiasco... it's actually LEFT the USA.  I think.  Maybe it's flown out of Los Angeles and ends up in Washington?  

I did the math, and that parcel travelled approximately 4,931.6 miles or 7,936.6 kilometres WITHIN the USA before it got on a plane to ... here?   CRAZY.

ABOVE:  More of our funky little tomatoes.  We won't be getting many more, the two plants we had are coming to an end.

I suppose I should plant more eh?  Yeah.  But not today.

ABOVE:  Happy New Year Girls.  We love you little buggers.

Stew and I stayed in bed till 8.30 again, it's so nice!

Now... I've got carrots on the boil for our lunch.  I'm making my lovely Baked Carrot dish, to be accompanied by Smashed Baked Potatoes and Beef Rissoles.

That will be our 'main meal' of the day.

Tonight we are going to indulge in an ice cream at the movies, and hopefully a frozen coke too.  I'm calling that 'dinner'  😂😁😀.

A bit later today we are going to plant some of my succulents in the front garden to fill out the gaps.   And then 'fence' it off from Coco, so she doesn't dig them up.

2.30 pm:  Our 'dinner' was lovely.  Very filling.  And that's the idea.  

Stew and I just spent half an hour moving the front bedroom's bed around.  Major job as it's got heaps of stuff stored under it (it's a hydraulic storage bed).  We just finished and now I can reach to open the window again. 

 

It's all about getting as much air/breeze through the house at this time of year as we can.  Having the front door and garage door open now is bloody WONDERFUL too.

I'm going to take 10, then remake the front bed in some nice, fresh linen.

ABOVE:  A review:  We enjoyed this movie.  It was an easy watch, a feel good sort of movie.

No violence.  No plot twists.  No murders.  Just a lovely feel good movie.

I recommend it to anyone who likes an easy to watch, wholesome movie.  

Tom Hanks was lovely in this movie, as was his son Truman, and the rest of the cast.  

We are now home, and going to enjoy a quite couple of hours before bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.
