Afternoon @Shaz51 and others 😊

I hope everyone is having a nice Saturday.
I'm babysitting Ayla but the poor bubba is not well. Cough and runny nose. She doesn't want to go home she wants to stay with me. She's now watching Peppa pig. I might keep her here and then we'll take her home later on and have dinner at my daughters.

awww how lovely @BlueBay

hope Ayla feels better soon , lots of cuddles xx

taking it easy sounds good @MDT

@Shaz51 That must be lovely living in a small town Like I said I am semi regional so still kind of in the burbs but not quite in the sticks.

Theres lovely public parks and grassland out this way. I am not far from the Australia Garden which is a huge indigenous botanic park. I've been there sightseeing. We also have the Grand Prix out this way on Phillip Island - we are the last pitstop...plus fairy penguins for those who have never seen them

The storms were really bad yesterday but at least its not boiling hot. Where are you? Country Victoria or NSW?

I am 50 years old now so hitting the bigger numbers, I honestly don't know how I got this old after so many folk in my life dying. Have been surrounded by bereavement

Today I decided I would go to a carvery for lamb roast and just caught a taxi home as my basket was full of grocery.

Not many people know how to self care - its a learned skill. I saw a discussion on Deepak Chopras site on it - it was a free audio but you could go on and do an entire course. I decided I knew enough from the discussion so with the knowledge and ideas set myself to the task of changing my self talk first and being more tolerant with what I can and can't do.

Theres so much negative self talk so now I just treat myself with kindness and don't set the bar too high to standards I can't reach. Over the years I realised how much I was trying to live up to able-bodied/minded standards that were unrealistic. Its certainly made my life easier and I don't feel bad if I can't function on certain days.

Tomorrow I am going to a psychic expo. It will have lots of palm readers, psychics, astrologers and crystals. Its a local "do" so will hop along and check it out. I hope I have enough energy to go. My friend before she died was an astrologer and we used to get into all kinds of new age stuff together.

So the psychic fair should be good. I have another facebook friend who is a professional psychic in Tasmania. Shes usually right on the mark with her psychic abilities.

I hope you have a nice weekend!
