Friday 13th June 2014

This was to be my relaxing week with Peter away at the Gold Coast on a golf tour.

I seem to have been busy every day with one thing or another.  The weather has not been the best and did interfere with my golf day this week.

Monday 9th June 2014  I went over to F-Troop at 7.00 am even though it was not an official F-Troop day we do not have time to miss a week.  Thankfully my F-Troop girls all turned up and we managed to finish a big project cleaning up the fenced garden at the 18th tee.  It was a massive task and felt a sense of achievement to get that area all cleaned up.  It was a big day and I got home about 2 o'clock.

Tuesday 10th June 2014 I was supposed to be playing golf.  The forecast of rain was true to it's word.  Both of my playing partners had pulled out the day before.  I hung in waiting to see if the weather improved but sadly it got worse and the golf was cancelled.  I had no option but to spend the day catching up at home and preparing a dinner for Shane and Danielle who were staying over night before heading off to Bali for a nice holiday.  Up until this time I had no disasters at home.  Every time Peter goes away something always goes wrong at home - sometimes with disastrous results.  This time it was mild by comparison to some -  with the clothes dryer blowing the fuse which  in turn turned off the Foxtel.  Being the independent lady I checked the fuse box and turned on what switch I thought was the culprit.  Unfortunately that ended up being the stove so my dinner midst cooking was turned off.  When Shane came home all was restored except that my main oven does not turn on. ( a good excuse to buy a new oven) and as well as that both of my kitchen lights no longer work (need new globes).  Peter has some fix it jobs to contend with when he arrives home on Saturday.

Wednesday 11th June 2014 I spent the morning at the Golf Club cleaning up the gardens in front of the Clubhouse.  With all the recent rain weeding has been easy and the perfect time to dot it.

Thursday 12th June 2014 I spent the morning in my front garden at home filling up two green garbage bins with weeds which have been growing amok in the wet weather.  In the afternoon I spent a nice few hours at my beauticians being pampered.

Friday 13th June 2014 (today) I spent the morning at the Golf Club cleaning up the putting green gardens. In the afternoon Anne dropped Joel and Emily off for a babysit while she took Grace and herself for some tests.  Joel and Emily were very good and easy top look after.  Joel delved into his Lego building while Emily had a nap after her manicure by Nanny.  After that we built the GupX out of our lounge chairs and some blankets and visited the deep ocean floor and the Amazon. Joel is deeply into the Octonauts so his imagination runs wild.  After dinner and baths Rod took Joel and Emily home and I gratefully relaxed with a well earned scotch.
