Week 18 of 2025

I slept reasonably well, woke to the sound of rain, it is supposed to rain most of the day.

Tim caught another baby corella and took it into the vet again as it was so cold and looked like a drowned rat

It has rained all day, and it is cold as well and I have pain in both knees due to the pain.

This afternoon he caught another drowned rat corella and hopes it will be able to dry out and warm up now it is inside.

Tim rang our neighbour’s son to find out where would be best to buy a cage, he said he would make us one and will be out on Tuesday to talk to Tim. Turns out he is with Wires and knows a lot about these birds.

I had another pretty good night, woke to the sound of rain again, some rain this morning.

Sam had an issue with Tasha on the way to Tafe she was on her phone, and it was raining so Sam snatched it out of her hand. Now Tasha said she will not drive Sam to Tafe any more till unless Sam apologises to Tasha.

Jess came down and was here for over an hour and we had a nice chat. I rang and asked Sue if she would drive Sam to Tafe if Jess were unable to do it.

It has rained on and off all day, didn’t need to go and check the letterbox as the postie came down to drop off the two books I ordered and brought the letters with her. This may seem the commonsense thing to do but we at times have a man doing the run and he doesn’t do that. I mean he will place the letters in the box and bring down the parcel.

Tim released the bird this morning when he got home from work.

I had another pretty good night, woke to no rain which was nice, we are supposed to get showers on and off all day.

Sue rang and said she had a phone call letting her know her hearing aids were in and they could see her at 11am. She is happy with them.

Then we went to the shops so I could get ham and bread. Tim made a comment that I didn’t ring and see if he wanted anything, I bit my tongue and said nothing as he never or very rarely rings and asks if I want anything. Also, when I was leaving, he said he may not be here when I got back.

We are having a wet and cold afternoon after a warm day.

First day of term two for school and of course it is cold and wet and supposed to rain on and off all day again. This means I am going to have to walk up with Sam this morning.

I have both sliding doors open but will shut them soon.

Due to the wet weather, I tossed the clothes into the dryer. I also changed the sheets.

Shopping came at 3.10pm, I was waiting for Sam but managed to stop the truck and let the driver know that sliding door was open and to just put the shopping in the kitchen. Which she did.

First day of term two for school and of course it is cold and wet and supposed to rain on and off all day again. This means I am going to have to walk up with Sam this morning.

I only have the back sliding door open, Sam brought down some washing to toss in our dryer, she said that their dryer makes the clothes smell. I will make sure Jess is aware of that and looks into it.

Thankfully at this time we have no rain.

We have had rain on and off all day and this afternoon it is really cold and wet. Also, my body feels really stiff and achy moving isn’t easy as well feeling stiff I am in pain. I am so tired I will be in bed by 7.30 tonight.

Sue and I went to have her eyes checked she needs glasses that have different strength lens for each eye. The cost was $180, I paid for them she should be able to pick them up in two weeks times, the cost to have her eyes checked was nothing. She had put off having them checked as she didn’t think she would be able to afford it.

After that went to Coles for a few things and Sue bought be a small fruit bun from Baker’s Delight, which when I had it contained no fruit. It was like a small round finger bun.

I realised that yesterday I didn’t use the Powerfit, and I wonder if that is part of the reason, I was so stiff and sore yesterday.

Not as much rain today.

ELECTION DAY

Yeah, time to vote in the federal election, I already voted as I do a postal vote, Tim has already voted as he is working all day, but my girls and Blain will need to vote.

I have turned the heater on this morning as I am so damn cold.

The day has warmed up and I have had a good day. I worked on the envelopes for the letters I have to answer by that I mean I applied my address stamp to the back of each envelope and added stickers and a postage stamp and the ones I had to print an address for I added the address to the front of the envelope already to start writing letters tomorrow.

Managed to write 3 blog posts for the coming week. Sent reminder texts to family members reminding them to vote.
