Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Go you ! @eth just back from shops here, catching up on posts

game sounds good @Angels333 good morning, try and take it easy

Nice memories @MaddieM . Hi!

@Angels333 sounds like a really good way to spend an afternoon.

@Bunniekins I cancelled all face to face supports 3 weeks ago (luckily before the new NDIS rule about 10 days notice or pay in full came in). What I am having is just a 1 hr phone supports call from each of my 2 support workers once a week. And if I really needed it they would be able to pick up groceries etc for me and bring them to me. This is through Hireup so I still book them through there and that's how they get paid. So much less hours of paid work for them. Both of them are still doing in-home support for other clients who are in high risk category so not wanting to take any chances. Have put seeing my coordinator of supports and my peer mentor and various groups I was going to all on hold for the time being (writing, tai chi, womens group, & etc). Have been driving once and walking 3 times in as many weeks. My last driving lesson (would have been the 10th and final one) was cancelled by them. When I got my monthly budget report from my plan manager I saw that there wasn't enough money left in that part of my budget for the last lesson anyway so it worked out well really. (It was $436 per hour with a mh OT instructor coming out of CB social and community participation). Apparently NDIS has changed the rules during the covid time so that you can now flex funds between core and CB. Ok I'm rambling!!

A bit of cabin fever at times, that's for sure, but better safe than sorry.

Hi to you too @TAB

been busy unpacking, washing, washing hands, eating, feeling heat even tho not hot yet (?) just reading as much as anything @eth

hello and welcome @NatureLover

come and meet some wonderful members @TAB , @eth , @Angels333 , @Bunniekins , @MaddieM

Hi @Shaz51 hope today is an easier day for you xx

@TAB our sun is shining, but the breeze is strong and very cool - my cabin hasn't warmed up yet this morning. But it is getting a good airing out with the side doors open.

yeah its only going to be mid 30s here just not used to it anymore this year telling myself @eth

Yeah I don't think I cope well with mid 30s anymore either @TAB . In Darwin I was totally acclimatised to it, but it was a much more humid heat, no where near as arid as here in the Hunter. I'm quite attuned to the 4 seasons here now - in my 4th year already - time has flown since coming here in some ways. The days drag but the weeks and months seem to go fast.

starting to very dislike summer up here now @eth , @TAB

each year seems to be getting hotter or is it me !!!!

autumn up here is still warm at 31 degrees during the day but at night it is 21 degrees
