Monday 19th March 2012

Another busy and wet week.  My garden has gone feral in the rain with weeds coming out of nowhere to infest every garden.  We have discovered that we have a feral cat as well living in the greenhouse that has had four kittens!!!!!

Tuesday 13th March 2012 we had a fun day at golf - playing an Irish Multiplier to celebrate Irish Day.  My playing partner was Rhonda Robertson & other two players were Leanne Binns and Di Thomlinson. Our golf was not too wonderful but the company was good.  My highlight was getting a birdie at the 14th and winning nearest the pin.  Rhonda did not have a green shirt so we both wore orange & black.  I lent my Green Irish Gear to  Doon Jansen so they had a great Irish look on the day and were definitely the best dressed.

Wednesday 14th March 2012 was a sad day as we attended Garry Wilkinson's funeral at Green Point and the wake at the Gosford Sailing Club.  It was a huge funeral with the chapel at Greenway overflowing.  The Sailing Club was packed & we met up with a lot of people that we have not seen for a long time.  Rod and Anne were coming around for dinner but Joel got sick with croup and had to go to the doctors.

Thursday 15th March 2012 we went to Dick Smith's to get a cable that Peter needed.  I had purchased an E-Reader on line through the week and needed a protective cover for it.  I managed to find one which was good.  While there we spotted a 15 inch photo viewer which was just perfect for viewing the photos that I am downloading   I think it will be easier to re-visit the photos this way than pulling out photo albums.  We discovered that we had a feral cat living in our greenhouse and she has had four kittens.  We rang the RSPCA who put  us onto someone who had  cat trap so we can remove the cats from the garden.  It was easier saying than doing.  The mother cat was too smart to get caught in the cage but we did capture one kitten & took it over to a lady that looks after cats & finds families for them. Shane called in to say hello in the afternoon.

Friday 16th March 2012 the weather has been hot - so I went over to the club to water in the new plants and tidy up the gardens as we have got two garden weddings on Saturday.  We caught another kitten overnight.
We went over to the club for raffles and dinner as Peter has decided that he is not playing Friday Night cards anymore.

Saturday 17th March 2012 we had rain overnight and more during the day.  Anne picked me up to go to swimming lessons with Joel and Emily.  They are both doing lessons so Anne needs a hand to manage the two of them.  Emily loves the water but is not sure what she is supposed to be doing.  Joel is an old hand now and loves to learn to swim. Anne,Joel & Emily came around for morning tea & then had to go home as they were having visitors in the afternoon. We took the kitten up to Somersby to the RSPCA where hopefully it will find a happy home.  The other cats have gone into hiding in the rain so we have not been able to get anymore.  Peter dropped his golf clubs to Duncan Dyer's so they can go to Nelson's Bay in Duncan's trailer.  We did some household shopping.  I spent the afternoon scanning in more photos and am starting to make a small dent in the pile. I will be months and months getting it all together but it should be worthwhile in the end.
I went over to the club to see how the garden weddings went in the rain.  It was too wet unfortunately and the weddings had to be held on the club balcony.  Having two weddings only a short time apart caused problems when they both had to be inside.

Sunday 18th March 2012 Peter left early to go to Nelson's Bay for a week of golf with the boys.  I spent the day on my computer scanning photos etc.  Mark & Anne picked me up at 4.30 to go over to the club for dinner and to do the Presentation photos.  Lauren came as well as Col is at Nelson's Bay with Peter's group.

Monday 19th March 2012 (today) I was up early for F-Troop.  It had rained some more overnight but cleared up in time for F-Troop work.  It was a great day for planting in new plants so I took some of my plants that I have stocked in the back yard and found places for them in the gardens. We had only a small group of helpers today but managed to get some good work done.  I am ready now to do some more scanning.

Tomorrow I am going to Sydney with Anne to see "Love Never Dies" at the Capitol Theatre so I am looking forward to that.
