Monday 30th April 2012

This week has flown by and I seem to have been very busy every day.  The weather has been a mixture with some winter cold creeping in.

Tuesday 24th April 2012 the weather held and we got our game of golf in without getting wet.  My playing partner was Susan Bourne and she was good company for the day.  Our golf was not too wonderful however I did win nearest the pin on the 8th and had one of my best efforts at getting a hole in one so that was a good highlight.

Wednesday 25th April 2012 - Anzac Day Peter played golf with his normal golf partners.  I had not intended to play is Wednesday is traditionally Men's Day.  Because it was a Public Holiday the event was changed to a medley so I had a round with Rhonda Robertson & Fay Bailey which was good fun.  Again the golf was just respectable but we enjoyed the day.

Thursday 26th April 2012 we had a day off from the Golf Club and went to the movies at Erina just for a break from the norm.  We had some lunch there & did a bit of shopping.  I needed a new computer mouse pad & I could not believe how hard it was to find one.  I eventually tracked one down at BigW, got some more photo paper and some DVD & CD's for backups.  I have done some shopping around for travel insurance for our upcoming USA trip which is incredibly expensive - but necessary. Joel has started playing with the "Little Kickers" which is a group that introduces small children to soccer skills,  (photo attached)
I dropped my old baby bracelet into the jewellers to have it made into another bracelet for Emily.  My old bracelet had been made at the end of the war & the only retrievable parts were some little gold hearts which I hope will some up well when the bracelet is restored.

Friday 27th April 2012 I was back in the Golf Club gardens to tidy up & do some potting.  That night we went to the golf club for the raffles and dinner.

Saturday 28th April 2012 we did some household shopping before going over to the Golf Club gardens to prepare the wedding garden & surrounds for a garden wedding that afternoon.  The weather was a bit overcast but there was no rain.

Sunday 29th April 2012 we did not play golf as Rod was minding Joel & Emily while Anne went to work.  Rod had a very heavy cold so it was just as well we were on hand.  Joel & Emily both had colds - it is that time of year as I have come down with a throat infection as well.  Joel and Emily were great to look after,  We were unlucky with the weather as the day was cold and rainy & we had to keep them amused inside.  I was happy that we had not committed ourselves to golf as it would have been miserable on the course. Emily is crawling and pulling herself up on the furniture - soon to be walking I suspect.

Monday 30th April 2012 (today) we were at F-Troop at 7.00am.  My throat infection is not getting better.  We did not have too many volunteers today so we worked through the morning and got home just before 3 o'clock so it was a big day.  I needed a nanny nap this afternoon to recover.  I have been spending a lot of time this week scanning in more photos into the computer so I can reduce my photo graveyard.  It is going to take a long time so I aim at putting through a batch of 20-30 photos every day and have got some 13,000 odd photos on my computer thus far.  It will be good to have it all done and organised.

I hope I am feeling better tomorrow for golf.  The weather is supposed to be nice before more rain has been predicted for the rest of the week.
