Monday 27th February 2012

Another week has flown by - the wet weather cleared at last and we had good weather for most of the week.

Tuesday 21st February 2012 the heavens opened once again and the golf course was not an option so I was happy that I had not booked in.  I have had enough of playing golf in bad weather.  Peter decided to make a start on painting the ensuite which has been a job long overdue.  I decided to bite the bullet on my photo graveyard & started sorting out photos that I had loose in a shoe box, identify the photo & put them all into catergories.  That was a mamoth job and took me all day & then some.

Wednesday 22nd February 2012 I went to Sydney for the day taking Anne to See Annie the Musical at the Lyric Theartre.  There were a few of the Gosford Lady golfers going and Yvonne Wilson travelled with us for the day.  We had a lovely time - catching an early train to allow us plenty of time for lunch and a wine before the show.  We went to the Garden Buffet at the Casino for lunch and it was very good.  We all enjoyed the show & managed to get the 4.20 train home which got us back in time for Anne to manage the children.

Thursday 23rd February 2012 we had a quiet day.  We went to the hospital at Gosford to visit Garry Wilkinson who is far from well.  Peter had a Board Meeting at 5.00pm and I worked on my photo graveyard until midnight sorting out old albums and framed photos & put them into catergories.  Unfortunately in my hard copy photos era there were always 2 photos for the price of one so I have got hundreds of duplications that I have to cull out in addition to copies that I had sent to Mum that I have now inherited.   This getting to be a daunting task but has to be done.

Friday 24th February 2012 Peter did another coat on the bathroom and I continued with my photos.
It was a hot day so inside was good.

Saturday 25th February 2012 we did the household shopping & then Peter went to golf - playing today with Butch who found some time to squash in a game.  It was a hot day & I worked over at the golf club gardens from 11 o'clock until 3.30pm.  Then I rushed home to cook dinner for Col & Lauren Matterson who were coming over to discuss travel to America later in the year.  We had a good night talking into the early morning hours getting the trip planned and generally chatting.

Sunday 26th February 2012 we had to drag ourselves out of bed early as Shane was calling around to pick up the trailer and the weight set from our veranda.  Peter does not use the weight set so Shane is taking it to his place.  Rod & Anne are going camping for a week & are swapping cars with Shane & Sam so he can use our trailer to carry his gear.   Shane & Rod turned up about 9 o'clock and after that we went over to see Joel and Emily as they will be away camping for a week & we won't be able to see them.  We were not feeling too well after a late night and far too much wine.  The weather was good so I convinced myself I could manage 18 holes of golf if we used the cart.  Our playing partners were Doug & Robin Incoll and we hit off at 12.15 which was a good time.  I surprised myself by playing a reasonable game of golf & winning a ball.  We stayed for dinner at the club after golf but were glad to get home to catch up with some sleep.

Monday 27th February 2012 (today) we were up early for F-Troop starting at 7.00am.  We only had a small group of volunteers today so we had to work hard.  We worked until 2.00pm & then came home to get out of the heat.  I had to go down to the chemist at Gosford to get some tablets & picked up a golf chain that I had left at the jewellers to be repaired.  I am in need of another early night so I will not be doing any photos tonight.

Tomorrow I am playing golf at 8.20 so I need to be up early to get ready.  There is more wet weather on the way & I am hoping it will not arrive until after golf.
