Hello
Monday, what happened to Sunday, seems I forgot to write a post on
Sunday, I did read about 40 blog posts but then sat down to watch
telly and didn't get back to write a post, sorry for that, but I am
here on this lovely Monday morning.
As
most of the world will know there was a couple of cyclones here down
under Marcia and Lam, neither of them were anyway near me, thankfully
and none of my family were affected. The army has moved in to help
with the clean up in Yeppoon and Rockhampton many homes are still
without power although crews are working around the clock trying to
get power back to homes and businesses. In Rockhampton generators
were set up at traffic lights to keep them working and you know what
happened some asshole went and stole them.
On
the news here today is a lot of news about the Oscars, you know I
don't watch award shows, never have enough time to waste doing so,
for many years I use to watch the Logies which is Australia's
television award show but I don't even watch them any more I can't
stay up that late any more. Do you watch award shows? If so which is
your favourite?
Tasha
has came and picked Leo up to take him to school, as Tim doesn't want
me to drive my car, the reason well it is missing and sounds like it
is going to stall all the time it is being driven. When I mentioned
it to Tim on Thursday he kind of just shrugged it off and thought I
was over reacting but of course when he drove the car yesterday he
changed his mind. He said he will get spark plugs and change them as
he things that may be the many cause, last night he was out trying to
get the spark plugs out but was unable to find the right spanner. I
don't know what happened as I went to bed and left him to it, he was
complaining that someone took his tools but I don't think that
happened I think he has just misplaced them because his sheds are a
total mess.
So
I will have to get Tasha to also get Leo this afternoon, she will
have to get one of the boys out early in order to get them both
picked up this afternoon. I said I thought she should get Blain
first as Blain last week asked a few times if he could see Leo's
school. Yeah since she drove Jessica's car she has realised it isn't
the big scary car she thought it was.
Last
night when Leo had his bath he flooded the floor so much that the
carpet in the hallway was wet with a nice puddle of water there, I
was annoyed and a little bit angry, Leo said he was sorry and didn't
mean to make such a mess. I ended up using 5 or 6 towels to mop up
the water so of course this morning I am washing towels. My washing
machine isn't dissolving the detergent and even the fabric softener
and I was towels in fabric softener and when I went to get the towels
out of the machine there was still undissolved stuff so I have had to
run them through another wash this I find frustrating but little I
can do about it. I can't afford to get another washing machine so I
am just dealing like one does.
Sounds like a typical day to me. :-{{
ReplyDeleteYeah a pretty typical day
DeleteAnother day in the life of Jo-Anne! Hope Tuesday is better..Lol!
ReplyDeleteYeah just another day in my life, it is now Tuesday and we will see how the day pans out
DeleteWell Jo-Anne, I live in Brisbane and we certainly got a lot of rain and some wind. Nothing like Yeppoon and Rocky. Two cyclones at once was novel. I hope the army gets those towns cleaned up pronto and they find somewhere for the 100+ people who lost their houses. Have a great week! :-)
ReplyDeleteI knew those who was in Brisbane were ok as Michael flew to Brisbane for his grandmothers funeral on the day Marcia hit
DeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
ReplyDeleteWell, your little disaster could have been worse, you get over that and move on!
Like you, I've never wasted any time watching those Oscars...
Hugs,
Mariette
Leo usually floods the bathroom floor when he has a bath so nothing new, which maybe why I only got a little mad and more annoyed, oh well had to wash the towels anyway
DeleteMaybe you should drive the washer and throw the clothes in the car...
ReplyDeleteNow that would be interesting
DeleteI hate any of those award shows. I can't stand watching those people and the stupid stuff they say. They get paid way too much. Yes, I'm bitter. Lol. My husband is always losing stuff because he never puts stuff away and he has a huge mess in the garage.
ReplyDeleteYeah I also think they get paid way to much and so many of them waste their money..........
DeleteTim ended up finding his tools
I'm glad the cyclones weren't by you. Hope your car gets fixed and the carpet dries. :)
ReplyDeleteYes the carpet has dried, Tim tried to fix the car last night but couldn't maybe today
DeleteIt's just become Monday here, so your post can be for Sunday and Monday.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Now it is Tuesday
DeleteFancy people stealing the generators...some people will just steal anything. I feel for the people with no homes, especially if they have no where to stay, as I am sure many won't.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch the Oscars or any award show, I don't know who the people are and not interested really!
No I don't know who most of those at the Oscars are either, I know I was shocked that people stole the generators meant to power the traffic lights.
DeleteWOW on the cyclones down your way. Sadly, the stolen generators sounds like my old neighborhood. Where I'm at in the U.S. we are in a deep freeze. I think it won't be long until the caribou and penguins find their way down here. Hoping things get better your way.
ReplyDeleteYes some people will steal anything they can get their hands on
