Wednesday 25th June 2014

Winter has finally arrived along with the coughs and colds that go with it.

Saturday 14th June 2014 I had a day at home with a bit of a sore throat annoying me.  Peter arrived home from his Gold Coast Golf Tour about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Sunday 15th June 2014 I played golf at Wyong with Kevin O'Brien representing Gosford in the Keno 4BBB.  Our opposition players were Matt & Kate McKinnon from Toukley and they were great company.  Peter came along to watch us play and we were allowed to have a cart even though the Wyong Course was very wet and muddy.  It was not a good day for golf with a very cold wind but no further rain thank heavens.  Matt & Kate beat us by one point but Kevin & I came in 6th place thanks to good play from Kevin.
After golf we went to the Gosford Hotel for dinner with Kevin to finish off the day.

Monday 16th June 2014 was F-Troop Day.  The weather was cold but not as bad as the previous day.  We had a small crew but managed to get some good work done.  In the afternoon we went over to Rod & Anne's for Emily's 3rd Birthday.  Emily was very excited - dressed up in a Fairy Dress she had a wonderful day. We called into the Chemist to get some medication for my cold on the way home.

Tuesday 17th June 2014 I was feeling very down with my cold so I spent the day in bed in an attempt to make a quick recovery.  Change of season colds are so hard to avoid.

Wednesday 18th June 2014 I was feeling much better so I got a bit of gardening done at the golf club in the morning.

Thursday 19th June 2014 I went out to my hairdresser for a colour & cut to make me feel a bit better.

Friday 20th June 2014 I went with Anne to the new play centre at the Central Coast Leagues Club to keep Joel and Emily amused for a few hours.  We had lunch there and then came home so I could mind Joel and Emily while Anne & Grace had some checkups with their doctor.  That evening we went to the Golf Club for an Italian Dinner following the raffles and badge draw.  No raffle prizes for us this time.

Saturday 21st June 2014 we have been having trouble with our golf cart batteries.  Peter worked on the cart while I did some of the gardens.

Sunday 22nd June 2014 Shane & Danielle returned from their holiday in Bali looking tanned and healthy. We played golf with Bert & Annie Brink who are great company.  My golf was very ordinary until I got to the 13th hole where I had a Hole-in-One - my first ever!  From then on the golf score did not matter and we did much celebrating.  After golf we went to the Gosford Hotel for dinner for more celebrating.

Monday 23rd June 2014 we were up early for F-Troop as we had a lot of projects to get through. It was a very cold day to start with so we did not have too many helpers.  After F-Troop we went to the Wyee Nursery to buy some more plants for the Golf Club.

Tuesday 24th June 2014 I played golf with June Bowen and Elly Van Den Berg on a cold windy miserable day.  June won the day so that was out highlight of the day.  My golf was not good and I was happy to get inside for a hot coffee.

Wednesday 25th June 2014 my cold has reduced to a nuisance cough but overall I am feeling better.  I went to the Golf Club Gardens today while Peter played golf.  It was still cold and windy and not a nice day to be outside.  In the afternoon it was catchup at home out of the cold.

The weather is forecast to improve tomorrow which is encouraging.
