Thursday 22nd August 2013

We have had a week of cool crisp nights and early mornings fining up to beautiful sunny days with a cool breeze attached.

Saturday 17th August 2013 Peter played golf so I went over and did some more work on the front gardens at the golf club - the rest of the day was a recovery day and early night after all the birthday celebrations.

Sunday 18th August 2013 Rod, Anne & the kids came for breakfast and then I took Joel and Emily for a walk to the railway to see the trains before we went to golf.  Our golf playing partners today were Nigel & Sheena Asken and we had a lovely day.  Peter got runner up and we had some good highlights.  After golf we went to the Gosford Hotel for dinner with a few of our golf friends.

Monday 19th August 2013 we were over at F-Troop at 7 o'clock for a busy day of mulching the gardens. We worked until lunchtime and then home for a nanny nap.

Tuesday 20th August 2013 I played golf with Chris Dekker, Lyn Bates and Julie Craig.  Our day had some good highlights with Lyn getting a birdie and winning the day as well as winning the team event with Julie. Tuesday evening we went out to Arees Thai Restaurant with Di, Neil, Ken & Marg for a catch up.  We had a good night and caught up with all the news from Dorrigo.

Wednesday 21st August 2013 I went to Sydney for the day with Anne to check out the Ikea Store.  We had a fun day and spent heaps on the little people.  Emily needed to have her own bed so we bought her and expandable bed that will grow from cot size to a normal single bed.  I loved the Ikea store and could have spent all day there checking out all the stock.  We had a legendary $1 Ikea Hot Dog to finish the day before returning home to pick up the kids from Kindy.  Anne had a Doctor's appointment so I looked after the kids.
Rod came over and they all stayed for a pizza dinner.  While at Sydney I bought a twin pusher so I could walk both of the kids together when they get tired and do not want to walk.  We gave it a test drive down to the station and the kids loved it.  Nanny struggled a bit on the hills but we made it safe and sound.

Thursday 22nd August 2013 I went to my hairdresser for a colour and cut as my hair was getting rather long.
In the afternoon we went to the golf club to plant in some lavender plants, water some gardens and give our golf cart a good wash as it gets very dirty doing F-Troop duty.

We have not had a lot of rain this month so I have had to spend some extra time in the garden watering.
