Tuesday 21st January 2014

We had some lovely slow rainfall overnight and some light showers today which was great for the gardens. The last few weeks have been very hot and dry so I hope the promised thunderstorms arrive tomorrow to refresh the gardens and to refill the dams at the Golf Club.

Wednesday 8th January 2014 I was up early to pick some roses for Danielle's birthday.  Later we went shopping and found a champagne glass shaped vase which was perfect for the roses.

Thursday 9th January 2014 I did some gardening in the front gardens and in the afternoon we had our annual review with Peter our Financial Advisor.

Friday 10th January 2014 we did some household shopping and that evening we went to the Golf Club for dinner and raffles.

Saturday 11th January 2014 Peter played golf with Graham and I did some work over at the Golf Club gardens.

Sunday 12th January 2014 we played golf with John & Julie Hazzard and had a great day.  We started golf early so did not go out for our usual dinner at the pub.

Monday 13th January 2014 we were up early for F-Troop as we had a very busy day.  We worked until 1.30 and then came home to get out of the heat.

Tuesday 14th January 2014 I did not play golf - instead worked on the front gardens as it was green bin collection night.  Anne sent me a couple of photos of Joel and Emily enjoying their new swimming pool that Santa brought them.

Wednesday 15th January 2014 I worked early in the gardens to beat the heat.

Thursday 16th January 2014 I was back over at the Golf Club gardens early to do a couple of hours work before it got too hot.  Shane got us a DVD series of "House of Cards" which has 13 episodes and we have been watching a couple of episodes whenever we had time to sit down. It is one of those shows that you have to watch every episode in order and listen to all the dialogue to follow it. - Great show!

Friday 17th January 2014 I spent a day at home working in the gardens and catching up at home.  Friday evening we went to the Golf Club for dinner and raffles.

Saturday 18th January 2014 We went to Heather & Matt's baby shower/BBQ at Graham & Anne's house at Turramurra.  It was good to catch up with all the family.  Heather looked very healthy and ready to give birth in the next few weeks.

Sunday 19th January 2014 was a very busy day with no time for reflection.  Rod, Anne, Joel and Emily came over for breakfast and went home when we were ready to go to golf.  Joel and Emily are growing up fast and are full on.  Our golf partners were Col Kelly and Alice Diamond and we had a great day.  Col & Alice were the stars - coming very close to winning the team event.  After golf we went to the Gosford Hotel for dinner with Mark, Anne, Col and Alice which was a good finish for the day.

Monday 20th January 2014 we were up early again for F-Troop.  We had a lot of projects to do and worked through until 12.30.  Between trying to keep up with the tennis, golf and our DVD series - our afternoons have been busy.

Tuesday 21st January 2014 (today) I did not play golf - instead went to my beauticians to have my nails etc done.  It has been a cool showery day which was pleasant after all the heat of the last few weeks.

Hopefully the promised thunderstorms will arrive on cue which will give me a break from watering.
