Far and Away

Is it 4pm wher you are @Faith-and-Hope ??

yes I hope Cat don`t wake you up too early @Zoe7

Of course Cat woke me early wanting her breakfast @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 But on the positive side I only woke once during the night and went back to sleep pretty quickly. So up earlier than I wanted to be but babies are fed and hppy so can nap on the couch if I need to this morning.

How did your evening unfold @Faith-and-Hope ? Did S2 and D3 join you all for the movie or did it become an non-event?

Morning @Zoe7 @Shaz51

and anyone else around .... 👋💕

I got up once during the night too @Zoe7 , but went back to sleep easily. I am pleased to have slept in a bit. Not getting to bed till after pumpkin hour, and I have to start pulling it in a bit.

The evening turned into a non event for the kids - S2 stayed asleep and missed dinner, but he does that sometimes. He is exhausted from the effort he has made towards uni, but also the interior battles he is challenged with.

D3 struggled into the night with a headache, so she didn’t get the group work done for today, and I don’t know how she will pull up in terms of the meeting either. Will go and see her shortly and try to work it out.

I stayed up and out another chunk of assignment behind me. Most of our research assignments are visual diary based, as is this one. It feels goo to have got this done because it’s a subject / assignment that I hadn’t got off the ground yet, and it will set the pace for all the other work, before and after it. Yes, I have done it out of sequence, but it was this week’s work, and still fresh in my memory.

i will go on with some mor this morning, and I am looking forward to it, which says a lot 😏

I had the feeling the kids would not make it for the movie from what you had previously described @Faith-and-Hope It is good that S2 is keeping up with uni and if resting is what he needs to get through then that is good for him. D3 sounds like she is falling behind a bit - hope she can pull it together this morning - I am sure you will do everything you can to help her out

It is awesome that you got some of your work done Hon - bit by bit you are getting there and that is positive. Whether you have done it out of sequence or not you are getting it all done and great that you are enjoying it - that is a huge bonus

It rained here over night as well and we are expecting a little more today - I too love hearing the rain on the windows - there is something very peaceful about it Defintiely an inside day but that is okay because I don't plan on doing too much. Did the washing up and a load of washing last night so that is good to have out of the way. Pretty sure there will be some napping going on today after Cat woke me earlier - she doesn't get it is the weekend - no sleep in for her mummy

@Former-Member You had one win last night but no luck with your Swannies. My eels played well for most of the game but got completely outrun in the last 20 minutes. Need to wait now until tomorrow for my Lions to play and see if they can back u their performance from last week - being away from home will have an impact though so not that confident.

Morning @Zoe7 and also @Faith-and-Hope

Yes my Raiders came away with a win, but not so my Swannies. 😢

I guess they have lost quite a few good players in the off season (Hanneberry and Rohan) and have a number of young up-and-comers, so its possibly a rebuilding season for them this year. A bit like your Brisbane boys last year. Buddy is plainly not fit at this stage, though did kick a couple of brilliant goals from wide out. And I have to say that the umpiring was the worst I've seen in a long time. Very one sided and inconsistent, which only served to confuse and frustrate a number of the Swans players. I was not happy! But they can come back from their opening 2 losses, they have done it before after being down 6 / zip after 6 rounds.

It was unfortunate about the Eeels. My son in law follows then as well, and he was very dissappointed. But the Roosters, or the chookies as my little niece use to call them (they were her team), are a good team, even without Cronk. I have to admit I have a bit of a soft spot for Roosters, for 2 reasons - one because they were my nieces team and two because there are a couple of former local players who play for them.

I will be barracking for your Lions on Sunday. They had such a good win last week, dominating a top team in WCE. Here's hoping they can maintain that form, and if they do, they are definite finals contenders. Speaking of which, in a tipping comp my hubby is in, he tipped the Swans to finish 10th out of 18 this year, and the Lions 11th. Could be a battle between the two. That would mean a very rare miss for the Swans when it comes to finals footy.

We had light rain overnight, and more showers this morning. Its dull and overcast here as a result. Like for you, its an indoors day today. Good thing I got my washing done and dried yesterday. Cuddle time for Holly ........... xx

Hope you have a good day Zoe, Faith-and-Hope and also @Shaz51 @BryanaCamp @Fee1

Sherry 🐶💕

I certainly expect my Lions boys to win a few more games this year @Former-Member and if they keep up the pressure that they did last week in most games then they will be in with a chance. The boys all seemed to be playing for each other - much like what I see from Richmond - so that was really positive. I think our additions to the team will cover our losses quite well - we just need to keep them fit and uninjured.

I didn't see any of your Swannies game - went to bed really early. I recorded the eels match and watched it this morning. There were some good signs that could carry us forward into the remainder of the season but definitely not expecting a finals appearance - will be happy not to receive the wooden spoon again lol

I have washing on the line still and that will be there for a while as it is super wet after the rain last night - it is mainly towels as the rest I can put on the clotheshorse. Have another smaller load to do today and some ironing to do over the weekend as well.

Enjoy your snuggles with Holly - I have had a lot of snuggle time with Toby already this morning and it is precious. We do love our fur babies

Hope you have a nice weekend too @Bimby2
