Another weird photo of a spider nesting on our

security camera - keeping out of the cold weather

Graham sent me this weird photo he took

at home caused by the reflection of light

on the silver dish

Another photo from Graham

caused by sun filtering down the stairwell

at his home - a scary effect

The weather has improved this week to mostly sunny days and very cold nights which has meant I have been able to get outside again.

Thursday 21st June 2012 I went out to Erina with Anne to look after Emily while Joel played with the "Little Kickers"   We did some shopping for Emily and Joel in the toy shop as Anne had been given some gift vouchers.  I bought some more clothes hangers & storage bags for my walk in wardrobe at home. We had lunch at Erina & came home when the children needed to have their naps.  We went out to Matcham in the afternoon to pick up some plants for the golf club that had been donated and then planted them out at the golf club.

Friday 22nd June 2012 we sorted out all the bags that we wanted to dispose of and took them all out to the Salvation Army and then went out to the local dump to dispose of all the left over bags.  That was quite an exercise as I had 25 big plastic bags and assorted other things. On the way home we did the household shopping so we could have a free day on Saturday.  When we got home I cleaned up the lounge room & got the house back to normal after the big sort out.  At 4.30 Col & Lauren Matterson called around for nibbles and drinks so we could discuss our upcoming holiday to America.  We still have a lot of decisions to make and some research to put in before we go.  At 6.30pm we all went over to the club for the raffle night and stayed for dinner.  The weather had turned very cold with a bitter wind.

Saturday 23rd June 2012 Peter played golf and I did some gardening in the front gardens which is getting overgrown. In the afternoon I did some more work on my photo graveyard which I am starting to make an impression upon.

Sunday 24th June 2012 Rod & Anne were not going to be home so I did some more photos before going to golf about 11.00am.  Our playing partners were Duncan & Rosalie Dyer & we had a good day on the village green.  The boys beat us for the Keno Ticket as they both played really well. Peter won a nearest the pin and won the "Eagles Nest" Prize of 18 golf balls for his fantastic 31cms from the hole shot. I made a good shot in off the green into the hole which made my day.  We stayed for dinner at the club after golf with some of our golf friends.

Monday 25th June 2012 (today) we were up early for F-Troop starting at 7.00 am.  It was very cold but quite nice once the sun warmed us up a bit.  We had a busy day working until 12.00pm at the club.  Then we went back out to Matcham to pick up some more succulent plants that were donated to the club.  By the time I got those planted in & got home it was 3.30pm.  It was a big day and an early night is required.

Tomorrow is golf day so I am looking forward to some fine weather.  The golf course has dried up and is playing well so I have no excuses.
