Hidey ho

Thursday was miserable as far as the weather is concerned, but I had a nice day. I spent the afternoon visiting with a friend, Kylie, who I don't get to see particularly often, she is getting married in August and I will be going up for the wedding. It was lovely to spend time with her and meet her fiance.

Friday was spent driving, well, that's how it felt. Went to mum's to get the boys, spent 2 hours there, then turned around and drove back again. The weather was pretty nasty so it was a slow trip.

Got home barely five minutes before Brenny and Paul and Harrison turned up, perfect timing! We had BBQ for dinner and Ally from up the road came down to have tea too, as her hubby is away and she is a bit lonely.

Saturday was full on, but we didn't actually do much. I finally at long last bought a stroller because I have had enough of lugging that pram around. It was never going to fit in Brenny's car anyway, after everyone was in there wasn't much room for anything else! Anyway, we went over to Manly and wandered around the shops and beach. We had talked about going to Oceanworld, but once we got there we couldn't really be bothered so we just let the kids run around for awhile. We went to the footy match, it was pretty good, abit cold. We got home around 8.30pm.

The boys were very impressed with the in-car dvd system in Brenny's car, they have requested that we buy a car just like it, lol. I commentated the Thomas the Tank Engine movie they were watching - the set comes with ear phones so most of us couldn't hear what was being said, so I thought it would be funny to make up my own script. Needless to say it involved alot of gas, lol, Scott and I found it hilarious, Brenny just thinks I am nuts, lol.

They left early Sunday so I occupied myself with tidying the house, getting washing done and going shopping for food. The day disappeared pretty quickly.

Today I had a flex day and sent the kids to vacation care and day care so I could have some peace and quiet, lol, that's so funny. I hired a carpet cleaner and spent two hours cleaning the floors, then I cleaned and vacuumed the car.

I haven't posted for a few days as you will have noticed, not only because I have been busy, but also because I had got totally sick of the internet speed. It was running at dial-up and alot of webpages actually drop out if the broadband speed isn't fast enough. So today I resolved to do something about it and contacted our supplier. The gentleman was very patient and talked me through the process and hooray! back to fast speed again. Not sure why the problem occurred but it was actually quite easy to fix and if it happens again I will be able to fix it.

After all that I sat down and sewed for an hour then went and got the kids.

Rhymetime is back on tomorrow. Hope my voice is up to it.

It is very cold tonight and I am NOT being wussy. It snowed in Thredbo and Lithgow and Orange. It is currently 11 degrees. It is predicted to be pretty cold all week, so I guess I will be getting the heater out sooner rather than later. I am comfy at temps of 18-25, more or less and I start to get uncomfy.

Well, I am off to bed to snuggle under my quilt.
Sweet dreams.
your wife.
