Tuesday 22nd November 2011

After such a hectic week last week I aimed to fit in a few quiet days to catch up with myself this week.
The weather has been either very hot and humid or wet and showery.

Wednesday 16th November 2011 I had my promised day of rest at home.  I just pottered around the house tidying up bits and pieces, getting out tax information together, washing and ironing & all that kind of things.
It was good to have a few hours to myself to get things up to date. I got to watch a bit of the golf on TV.

Thursday 17th November 2011 we did a bit of shopping at Erina Fair picking up a new iron, a couple of Christmas presents and a visit to Aldi where I got the kids a water slide for Christmas fun.  Another quiet day which was good. The afternoon  we spent watching the Golf on TV. Peter has repainted our trailer & it looks more respectable.

Friday 18th November 2011 we did the household shopping & a visit to Bunnings to get bits and pieces.  Peter is building Joel a swing so we had to hunt down a new seat & ropes.  While we had the trailer at home we decided to drop around our big white outdoor table to Rod & Anne's so they can use it for Christmas.  We are having Christmas Day at their place this year which makes it easy for me. Then it was back to watch the end of the golf.

Saturday 19th November 2011 Peter was playing in the foursomes Championship at 8.30am so I went over to the club to tidy up for a garden wedding later in the day.  Di was there to help me which was good as it was a very hot day.  I got home about 1.30pm after doing a bit of gardening over at the club & then watched the golf for the afternoon.  We went out to dinner with Mark & Anne to the Thai Restaurant at five ways Wyoming which was a nice night out.

Sunday 20th November 2011 Anne brought the two babies over to play while Rod was at work.  It was a very hot day and Joel kept himself amused with the hose watering the garden & everything else including himself.  We left for golf at 11 o'clock  & Anne was going to visit her parents.  Our playing partners were Mark & Anne Stimpson & we had a good day with them even though it was a stinker of a day & our golf scores were not good.  In the middle of the match we got a call from our house security to say that the house alarm had gone off. We rushed home to find that everything was okay so we are not sure what set the alarm off.  After golf we stayed for dinner at the club to finish off a good day.  It was raining when we left the club which cooled things down a bit.

Monday 21st November 2011 we were at F-Troop at 7.00am.  It was a much cooler day than yesterday so we were able to work until lunchtime and get some good jobs done.  A nanny nap in the afternoon was good.
The rain returned late afternoon which was good for the garden.

Tuesday 22nd November 2011 rain had been forecast all day.  Fortunately it was centered over Sydney and below and we did not get any rain until late afternoon after golf had finished.  My playing partners were Georgina Lamb and Lesley Gregory and we had some good highlights.  Lesley won our division and Georgina won a nearest the pin.  I won a pair of golf socks as a mystery prize which was my own highlight. It was a fun day at golf with the A graders playing off the Men's Blue Markers and the rest playing off the Men's White Markers.  It was a challenge making the extra distance.

More rain has been forecast for tomorrow which will help the garden along after all the very hot weather of this last week.
