Life can be a Pain

good night my second mum @Owlunar, we are home and going to bed when I saw your message , hugs

So glad you had a good day @Owlunar and that everyone liked their money presents. I got another Bunnungs card from my sister so now I can go silly at Bunnings - really looking forward to that

So glad you had a good day @Owlunar

sooo glad you have another Bunnings card from your sister @Zoe7 xxxx

Yesterday was a big , relaxing in between day

went to chuch first

morning tea with my mum

then travelled 40kms to lunch -- had 9 of us for lunch

afternoon sitting around talking at SIL

then for Dinner there was 7 of us which D1and her partner came , she lost some of her voice because of the flu

raining and windy , same here today

got home at 10pm last night -- could not believe it -- there was a couple of moments when I thought mr shaz was going to get up and go home

No interstate visit for 5 months yet -- fingers crossed

thinking of visiting next weekend 300 kms away but mr shaz is already changing his mind about going

how was your day ??

Definitely sounds like you needed a rest day @Shaz51 - that was quite a day you had yesterday

Hi @Owlunar Hoping you are resting today too

hope you day was ok too my sister @Zoe7 xx

Hi @Zoe7@BlueBay@Shaz51@outlander

I have been fine today Zoe and others - I have been taking things easy and just pottering about - pruned back come of the triffid-growth in my back-courtyard - so much rain and then wonderful sunshine have caused this overgrowth and I felt great taking some time out there pruning

Bunnings - yes - I am glad you got a Bunnings Card and can really spend it up there - I love Bunnings - actually - I went there myself and got a birdbath - it's been out there for days and the birds haven't found it yet - I put some bread on the table next to it today and maybe the birds will arrive in the morning - I can hope - perhaps it will take time for the birds to get used to the idea there is not cat around here now - I can hope

I have been watching "What a Year it was in 2018 - somethings I remember - others I had forgotten - others I had never heard about - amazing how much happens and I fail to notice it - btw - I recorded that on Sunday night I think

Yesterday at my daughter's place was really great - everyone liked their presents and I have received some really nice gifts myself - money presents went down really well. It was a lovely day - pretty hot but this is what I would hope for Christmas Day

Now I am thinking about my next holiday - I am spoiled for choice - thinking back across 2018 it has been a pretty big year for me too - and rest up at Lakes Entrance and then taking the bus around to Eden then Merrimbula and flying home in a small plane seems like a restful and yet exciting week or 10 days - in the meantime I am jiust thinking about it

And thanks everyone - for being here for each other and for me this year

Thanks @outlander

I am going to bed now - at least I am planning too - I think I can hear someone sharing their music at this hour - okay - it's Boxing Day so that's okay - but if that happens to be the case I will watch a movie and go to sleep in my chair for a while -

It is great that Christmas day was a good one for you @Owlunar It is lovely that everyone enjoyed their presets. I think everyonelike theirs here as well but it was all a bit of a rush so didn't get to see everyone open theirs.

I am going to love shopping at Bunnings - will take Toby with me - he sits in the trolley on his blanket lol I will get online first and look up some of what I want then know I can get it all when I get there. I need a new drop saw and grinder so those are two things I can definitely get with the many vouchers I have. Then some more plants for indoors would be awesome (need to replace one that died).

I do look forward to your trip away and hearing all about it - Lakes Entrance is such a beautiful place so hope you enjoy it also.
