why can't I cope longer?

That is super hard @Former-Member Those triggers can be very unsettling so you have done very well to enable that tension to drain away. Hugs and hugs Hon

Tassie is a beautiful place @Former-Member The coastal towns are just gorgeous and luckily from the major cities most are only a couple of hours away so can visit them in a day. I want to head to the West coast for a couple of days when I can afford it. I could take Toby as there are a lot of pet friendly places there to stay but would need my sister to look after Cat. I could only go for 2 full days as my sister would not be able to give Cat her meds. We could go 2 days without one of them but her chemo one is every 3 days and she needs that one. She gets that at dinner time with her food so I could be back in time for that. That is going to be some time off though.

You might even find it hard to leave if you come for 6 months @Former-Member It does get cold in winter though so moving back to a warmer climate might be necessary I don't particularly like the cold myself so happy to go to work and home on those days. Tobes and Cat snuggle in on their respective beds and then Tobes snuggles with me when I am home - that is the life!

From March to June this year the Spirit is taking cars free of charge but of course we still have COVID to navigate so travel anywhere outside of the state here is precarious. Not sure of the process coming into the state - and it may be too soon for you - but maybe worth looking up.

I’ve done some housework and folded washing @Former-Member

Later on I have a training session with some athletes I coach however I haven’t walked today.I booked flights to Adelaide for an event next month which I hope goes ahead 🤞

I’ll pick up dinner on the way home from Subway. so that will round off a quiet day.

Has your day improved?

Tassie is lovely @Former-Member @Zoe7 @Eve7 . I have visited the state 4 times in total, and thoroughly enjoyed each. Was there for different reasons each time, and saw different places too. I think overall now, I have been everywhere in the state ... North South East and West and everywhere in between. I was there mid winter one year, and the weather was actually really nice. I was told that early July is good, because you rarely get the cold winds until later in the season. I was there the last week of June and first week of July ... the weather was lovely sunny crisp winter days, with no wind. I dont mind the cold though, so perhaps I'm not a good advisor of such things. Hi @Adge @Clawde 👋

For you @Former-Member .... because you are a good friend, provide lovely support and I value you very much. Thank you.

February is usually our warmest month here @Former-Member but it does start cooling off from March to June. We still have nice days but the evenings get cold. Hopefully they will do the same later in the year as well to get tourists back and then you could seriously consider the trip down this way. 👍

I haven't been to the West Coast since I was a kid and it is definitely on my list of places to go @Former-Member @Emelia8 I have been all around the state at various times bar the west coast. I have family in the north and north east and friends in the north west so multiple trips to those places over the years. We often travelled the east coast road as well - simply beautiful.

Glad your treadmill is finally fixed @Former-Member What a pain that has been Gad you had a nice guy fixing it and how coincidental with all our talk today about Tassie that he was from here.
