Summer is a difficult time for me, lots of loss anniversaries. I have to leave where I am soon and I could plan to live on the road through summer or find a quaint little village surrounded by nature to take stoke of my life. Figure it’s a good distraction from blackdog thoughts.
I have
- gorgeous lapdog 🙂
- a good car
- can’t walk far
Love some suggestions

There are hippy and artsy cultures in Northern NSW.
Country Victoria is also great.
Is there an event you could sign up for and then also do the sight seeing. Low on ideas, not done many hols recently.
Cheers

Gotta get away soon - Bro4 is asking for money every time I see him and gets shiity when I refuse ‘oh but I’ll pay you back” he cries, but I’m so sick of it. Told him he’s better of going without... His tx msgs have been bad since - so blocked him, Then this morning he, Bro4 woke me with a startle at 0630 bashing on the wall😳 “what!” I called out “just checking if your alive or not” he said and left grr. GRR!
WT# - Who does that?
Guess he’s just cranky cause I won’t answer his msgs asking for money... all the blackmail & victim mentality... so sick of it! And he’s the friendly sibling . He cleaned out my coin dish yesterday Just can’t handle his problems atm & told him so & he’s probably feeling rejected and angry but ya gotta have boundaries, sheesh!
