Sunday 17th November 2013

 Playing with my photo apps

Well, we wanted rain - we got it.  My golf has been washed out three times in a row ("Not Happy Jan") however we badly needed this nice soaking rain.

Friday 8th November 2013 I went to the Ladies Committee Annual Luncheon at Avoca Beach.  It was a very hot day but when I got there the sea breezes actually cooled it down so much that we needed to close the weather blinds for comfort.  We had a nice luncheon and it was beautiful to be at the beach on such a lovely day.  That evening we had dinner at the Golf Club but did not have any wins at the raffles.

Saturday 9th November 2013 the weather changed and Peter did not go to golf.  I spent some time in the gardens dead heading the roses which are looking beautiful at this time of the year.

Sunday 10th November 2013 Rod, Anne, Joel and Emily came for breakfast and Shane also with his friend Danielle.  We had a nice leisurely breakfast and then our golf partners Peter & Sandy Laybutt rang to say they thought it would be too wet to play golf so golf was cancelled.  The weather was closing in again so we were happy to stay home.  Rod & Anne stayed for lunch and then took the kids home for their naps.

Monday 11th November 2013 the weather was still showering so we called off the normal F-Troop day as we could not have got out on the course.  Anne Burgess & I went over about 10 o'clock to do some clean up and I trimmed and cleaned the big gardens at the 10th.

Tuesday 12th November 2013 was meant to be a big District Ladies Competition Day with 140 odd players. Thunder storms hit about 8 o'clock and again at around 10 o'clock so the golf day was cancelled. Peter and I went to Erina movies to see "Captain Phillips" starring Tom Hanks who is an actor that I like.  It was a good movie and very dramatic for a real life story.

Wednesday 13th November 2013 I had a big day in the Golf Club gardens finishing off the section of gardens I was working on last Monday.

Thursday 14th November 2013 we went out to Wamberal to pick up another trailer load of Agavi plants for the golf club that were donated from a friends garden.  We dropped the plants at the Golf Club and then I came home and did some work in the gardens at home including some hedging.

Friday 15th November 2013 we did the household shopping and a trip to Bunnings.  I started work out the back gardens to clean out the garden ponds so I can get them back into good order.  That evening we went to the Golf Club for dinner and came home with four meat trays which was a good bonus.

Saturday 16th November 2013 Peter played in the 27 hole Foursomes Championships at golf so I spent the morning cleaning up the wedding garden area.  Anne, Joel & Emily came over in the afternoon and stayed for a pizza dinner.  Rod joined us after he got back from helping Shane work at his Gwandalan house.

Sunday 17th November 2013 a tiler friend came and looked at our bathroom and toilet tiles that are loose on the walls.  The end conclusion was that they had to be taken off, cleaned and replaced.  Peter was given the job to clean the walls and tiles before next week as out tiler will be coming back to replace them on the wall.  They have been there for over 15 years so I suppose something has to give over time.    Our golf partners Duncan & Rosalie Dyer rand and we decided to call the golf off again as the forecast was for heavy rain.  Sounds like a nice afternoon to chill out in front of the TV and watch the golf - fingers crossed for Adam Scott.

The weather forecast for tomorrow is not much better than today so we may be in for another quiet day.
