Friday 22nd August 2014

We have had a lot of rain this last week with more on the way.  I have been able to get out in the gardens in between showers but the pressure is on to get the golf gardens up to scratch before the garden inspection day for the Gosford City Garden Competition due early September.

Wednesday 20th August 2014 I worked over at the golf club gardens after waiting for our garage electronic door opener to be reset with a new code after the old one was stolen from our car.  I was able to do a good days work in the gardens getting the last of our donated plants into the gardens.

Thursday 21st August 2014 we went over to our mechanics to pick up the Hyundai after repairs had been done to the starter switch and door.  Thankfully we are all back in order $400 later. Compliments of the local low life.  After that I had another day in the Golf Club gardens getting some good jobs done.  I finally got my petunias in at home.  I have had some cockatoo damage done in my gardens too with the tops being lopped off my snapdragons and pansies.

Friday 22nd August 2014 (today) Peter was in bed with the man flu.  I went to Erina Fair with Anne and the three children and had a fun day there - spoiling them of course.  I used my Myer voucher golf prizes to buy Emily a skirt and shirt that she just loved.  It had to be put on immediately and Anne sent me a photo tonight of her with the skirt on over her pyjamas.  I guess she really loved it.  We spent a lot of time deciding which toy they should ask Santa for - sifting through several toy shops.  Octonauts and Frozen are very BIG on the list.

Next week there is more rain forecast - so it could be a repeat of this week.  I am going to swimming lessons with Anne tomorrow to give her a hand with the Joel & Emily & look after Grace.   Then it will be back into the gardens weather permitting.
