MID WEEK HUMP

 

It rained a lot yesterday... and it's not looking that promising today.

I am not sure a walk is on the cards this morning, unless Lacy doesn't mind doing a mall walk?  I'll ask her a bit later on.

Right now, I'm not inclined to do much.

Later on I will go to Spotlight for some strapping and clips, we need to do some repairs to our gazebo.  Well not exactly the gazebo itself, more the straps we use to hang the runners on.  After 6 years, some are breaking.  This weekend we plan on putting up the gazebo and doing the necessary repairs, before our next market.

That will be a good job done for sure.

I do not need to do any more sewing for markets, having not sold much over the past couple of months.  Fairly normal for winter of course.  It will pick up in a couple of months I'm sure.

Though... I am tempted to make a few more Scrappy Dolls.  Mainly because they are fun to do, and don't take very long.

Maybe I'll get on to them soon.

So yesterday I talked about one of my neighbors and her strange behaviour.  Sorry about that. I hadn't meant that for that to go on DIET COKE ROCKS..  but once it was done, too late to take it down.    *** I have now taken it down ***

There will not be any more posts about that on here. UNLESS things improve. 

I have now got a thumping headache and feel like shit. So not going for a walk. 

ABOVE:  So I'm outside, taking the rubbish bin back around to the shed, and I pass that!  I have never seen a more beautiful iris  I stand corrected, it's a gladioli, it's stunning!   I am gunna have to try and find some for our gardens.  That one is in a 'common ground garden', just behind my house.

I have a young lady coming soon to buy our Matai chest of drawers.  I have had masses of enquires about it, but until now, no firm offer.  Best thing? They didn't even quibble about the price.  That was nice.

Looking around our house now, and there is VERY LITTLE furniture left in this house that we had 'originally'.  Most things have been sold/gifted away, and we have bought smaller replacements.  It's what ya have to do when you buy a MUCH smaller home.

But... I am really starting to LOVE our new little home.

We have everything we need, love and cherish, in a smaller space.

As for the 'hiccups' we have encountered within the village itself... they will blow over.  We will adjust.  People will come to know us, and either like us... or not.  That's how life is.

Lacy is here, and we are talking about how people often pull me up when I 'seem' to act/say something mean, horrible, derogatory.

WELL GUESS WHAT?  I am a fucking normal person.  I'm not perfect. I'm not nice all the time.  I'm normal.  I react when provoked, who doesn't?  I can presume too much.  bla fucking bla.

Get over it, I AM NORMAL.  No one is fucking perfect.

Rant over.  Got if off my ample chest. So there.

I got a text from Harvey Normans this morning, saying our vacuum cleaner had arrived.  So Lacy and I drove over and picked it up.

Grabbed some sushi for lunch at The Base, then came home.

ABOVE: As there was some charge on the battery already, I gave it a whirl.  And OMG it does an excellent job!  It picked up all the little bits of crap off the carpet.  I'm so happy.

Now, it's plugged in and charging.

ABOVE:  Lacy scored a vacuum cleaner btw.  😂😊

I am now killing time until the Residents Meeting at 2 pm, which I intend going to.

And then I remembered how goddam long and boring the last resident's meeting was, so I canned it.  I'm just going to potter around the house instead. 

*snort*, I've vacuumed the house TWICE already!  It's now FUN, and I don't get all crabby and annoyed dragging a vacuum behind me.  This new vacuum is BLISS to use.  And it does such a good job.

Sorted for life.  Thanks Samsung.

I took my car back to it's parking space, then Coco and I had a little walk around the village. Ran into a few people, said hi etc.  

It doesn't sound like I missed much at the meeting.  

ABOVE:  Well, I dragged Stew down to our local for dinner this evening.  Most of our mates were there, so we had a very nice hour or so.  And a lovely dinner.

Home now, and we are blobbed out in front of the telly for the remainder of the evening.

So cosy.  

Catch ya tomorrow.
