Spring.

Goodness, how time flies. It is wet here, back to what Spring used to be like. The area is green and looking fantastic. Visited a friend yesterday to help her to get rid of Blackberries gone mad.

Nothing like a good burn .

Had some interested onlookers.

Saturday.

Well some good weather showed up yesterday and I finally got over the urge to shove my head in the toilet. I guess the Winter Blues affects everyone differently and with the cost of living outstripping wages, some days seem bleaker than others.

However, we are past the shortest day of the year, so everything can only get better. Mind you, I have also discovered that a nice glass of wine in the evening also helps. I usually go into the liquor store after work, late in the evening, looking dishevelled and feeling every bit my age. The young man in the liquor store asked, " Can I help you Miss? " I am definitely going back there!!

Anyway, here are some snaps from my bush walk yesterday. We spent the afternoon at the Mt Worth State Park.

Fungi the size of dinner plates.

Fern Heaven

Life is a drudge.

Sometimes you go through periods of your life when everything looks grey. It doesn't help when its horrible and cold outside and so miserable that even the dog would rather hold his bladder till bursting than go outside. Brandi the Ragdoll has disappeared into her drawer and won't come out again till she can settle down and go to sleep on No.2 son's face.

Ladybug, the Burmilla, has disappeared into the wardrobe and will only appear to feed her face, use the litter and stink the house out. Hubby is snoring on the lounge. Every now and then he snorts himself awake. I crept in and turned off the TV. Immediately he was awake and demanded to know why I turned it off.  I replied " You are asleep! ", to which he said," No I was watching".

Sigh. Some days are just not mean't to be. Excuse me while I go and shove my head in the toilet!

Midwinter

Well it is late June and the cold weather has finally decided to show up. The down side is that the weather is so wet that I have not been able to walk Bailey for over a week. Usually he is not too fussed, but this week he has been a pain in the proverbial.  I am sure he thinks he is a cat!

This is how it goes: I want to go out side, open the door. Hmm I think I will stand in the doorway and sniff how cold it is outside while I let all the nice heat out of the room. Nah, changed my mind, I think I will jump back on the couch. 5 mins later...........aaaarrrgh!!

I am sure that the cats are sitting with satisfied smirks on their faces.

The Dark Side.

Well I finally succumbed. The Fitbit craze has taken hold of me well and truly. I held out as long as I could but one day I happened to be passing a sale and there it was, calling my name. I only got the basic model, not the one that measures heartbeat etc. I figured if there was to be a problem with my heart beating I will probably be the first to know. 

So now I have to walk a lot to justify having it.

Goodness How time Flies.

Well it has been a while, in fact I didn't realise just how long. As I sit here typing it has become apparent that time has definitely not improved my keyboard skills! I shall post weekly as my life over the past year has not become outrageously newsworthy. So a big Hello again to everyone. Oh by the way, meet Bailey, a big lovefest, I mean pest, on four legs.He now has a declared truce with the cats. Took a while.
