Well OK it’s been another month since I blogged but it really has been a full on month.
It started with me getting sick and not being able to return to work until 2 days later than I should have, so not a good start to the year and it took me a lot longer to get over than I had hoped. Two lots of antibiotics eventually worked.
To get out of the house after being sick Kev and I went for a drive that was supposed to be to Kinglake but we ended up at Lake Mountain.
The scenery is still really surreal even 2 years after the bushfires and although there are lots of new buildings there are still some blocks not built on along the way. There is some new growth amongst the trees but you can still see where the devastation had been.
I am so glad that I waited to see what the area was like as I think any time sooner than this would have been very upsetting.
I remember going to a Nutri-Metics conference at Marysville (I think more than once) but that place is no longer there. Actually Marysville is nothing like I remember it to be and I had been there as a child as well so I had vivid memories of what it used to look like. Sad just very sad.
The last couple of weekends have been full on with Kev and I having 3 days in Adelaide for the Tour Down Under which was great. It was great to get away, the weather was great, the scenery beautiful and the racing was wonderful as well. Nice to spend some quality time with my husband of nearly 25 years and partner of nearly 30 years.
Alyce being totally independent car wise means we can now do this on a more regular basis
The next weekend saw Julie and I have a whirlwind tour of Sydney for 24 hours to see a show at the Opera House. It was great and there will be lots of journalling to be done as there were lots and lots of "moments" had. There can be a lot to be crammed into 24 hours.
Also tried out the Craigieburn Farmers Market this month and was told it was a little smaller than usual so looking forward to the next one, then had a trip to the new scrapping shop in Glenroy (East Street) very very nice and then home to have hot dogs and some on line scrap shopping - great day Thanks Jules
And in between the weekends there was a bit of scrapping done on Australia Day, a quiet gathering of 5 only as a last minute thing, and it was quiet because there was lots of work done in between lunch and Oprah and afternoon tea and the ladies being home in time for dinner.
All in all a busy month with some more to come next month with a 84th Birthday to have (a little late), a 21st to attend, Valentines day and then my birthday and then my FIL's.
Stop the merry-go-round I need to get off for a rest already.
I cant seriously believe that the first month of the year is over, there is only a few weeks to the footy starts and life just keeps rolling on and on and on
