Thursday 7th March 2013

There was precious little to this last week as we had some terrible weather over the weekend.

Thursday 28th February 2013 I did some work on the gardens at home and edited some travel photos and caught up a bit at home.

Friday 1st March 2013 It was not a good weather day so we went to Erina to the movies to see "Lincoln".
I enjoyed the movie especially the lead role - well worthy of winning an Oscar.  There were some parts of the movie that I would have left out and other parts that I would have included more.
There was to have been a garden wedding this afternoon - but it rained so much it was transferred to the balcony of the clubhouse.  Rod & Anne called around in the afternoon to pick up some camping gear as they were going to Anna Bay for the weekend.   Friday evening we went to the Club Raffles and badge draw - but no bonus wins tonight.

Saturday 2nd March 2013 There was to have been another garden wedding but it was raining so hard that it was not worth the effort of trying to clean up.  It was terrible weather all day so I got a lot of travel photos done. Our playing partners for tomorrow's golf rang to say they did not want to play tomorrow in the wet and we happily agreed to cancel golf.

Sunday 3rd March 2013 we had a lazy morning as the kids were away camping.  It was still raining right up to lunchtime.  I went out and picked a bunch of roses to take to Lynn & Ron's as we were meeting at their place at Terrigal for lunch with all our fellow travellers going to Vietnam.  We had to put in our visa applications and passports for the trip.  We had a lovely lunch and discussions about Vietnam that we are all looking forward to.  The weather had cleared by the afternoon which made it a pleasant day.  We had eaten so much for lunch that we did not bother with dinner.

Monday 4th March 2013 we were up early for F-Troop.  The weather was still clear so we managed to get some good projects done around the clubhouse without taking heavy machinery out onto the course.  Rod & Anne got home from their camping trip with both the kids sick with colds.  They had terrible weather the whole time they had been there - but at least the tent did not leak.

Tuesday 5th March 2013 I played golf with my playing partners Lorraine Bignall & Anne Cropley.  The course was very heavy as we had seven inches of rain in the previous week.  Our golf scores were not great but I did have a good gobbler shot into the hole at the 11th which will take me back next week.  In the afternoon Shane called in on his way to bowls to have a catch up chat.  Shane has been doing renovations on his house while he has been on holidays from his work.

Wednesday 6th March 2013 I caught up on my washing and spent the whole day dead heading the roses after they were battered by the heavy rain.  The roses have been beautiful this year.

Thursday 7th March 2013 (today) we had an easy morning taking a trip out to Bunnings to get some plants for the Golf Club gardens.  In the afternoon we attended the funeral of a 29 year old Member who committed suicide this week.  It was a very sad funeral as he left behind a partner and three little children.  After the funeral we went to the Golf Club to do a small job there and ended up staying for a few drinks afterwards.

The weather has cleared and it has been good for the last few days.  Let us hope that it continues so we can dry out a bit.
