Feeling quite happy today, my new drugs appear to be working and Im feeling better than I have in a long time.

Also we have just signed up for a phone with Vivid wireless. We already have our internet with them and have been pretty impressed with it so for an extra 10 bucks, are getting the VOIP phone which includes unlimited calls to the UK.

Not sure what the signal or quality will be like but the internet has been so good, it has to be worth a try and Im looking forward to calling my friends - a couple of them dont have computers so this will be great for us.

Has succumbed to the common cold... Kept going yesterday and Monday... No medals, just brick bats for spreading it to co workers.... Should have dragged myself in today, but the headache won't let me... That and not sleeping due to the wracking cough.... Which probably accounts for the head.

Hacking up green chunks of phlegm is so attractive isn't it?

4 months now and it goes from bad to worse.

Problem is... In 2 years time his little sister will want to come out for a year...
Ok... Grey nomads go away...So Tuesday he does nothing, Wednesday has 2 hours work gardening for a neighbor..cashie... he does nothing around the house NOT as per our agreement... Today he has done nothing....

So I phone he shit bag up... And tell him he has done nothing... NO I HAVE! I washed up and put away (evidenced by yesterdays dishes sat on the side eh?) and tidied my bedroom.... Very nice, but keeping your room tidy comes out of YOUR time, not ours.... What are you going to do about this? We had an agreement....

I have a booking for dinner in 45 minutes.... and then.....????? I'm out for the evening... I don't think so... I suggest you eat your dinner then come back and fulfill your contractual obligation....


Anyone know how much it will cost to change his flight?

I phone him

Is on a quilting mission... To finish this quilt by the end of next weekend...

Just appliqued 9 medallions onto a jelly roll race and am hitting the stash for borders... And binding.... And backing...

All in all very productive morning... And may even get a few rays this arvo if I continue at this pace

Had a lovely afternoon in the sun at Hahndorf. Sunk a couple of German beers from a fine pair of jugs

Sat down and had quiet chat with him Thursday.... No dramas, no yelling..just my most scarey persona... The quiet persona... The one that listens, analyses THEN RIPS THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF HIM

Spelt out some home truths... Been good as gold for nearly 48 hrs...

Busy. We cleaned out the garage this morning and pretty much filled a skip bin. This afternoon we went to my friend's housewarming and caught up with some people we only see rarely. Now I'm sitting here relaxing while the old man makes my dinner.

Tomorrow were clearing out the weeds in the gardens and cleaning the side yard. Ah, spring. Time to clear out the clutter
