The week That WAs No:19

Well Sunday is here again so I am starting another week that was post. It is a cool and wet day.

Tim off on Monday, he had a doctors appointment and for some unknown reason he wanted me to go with him, only to have me wait in the car. We than went to Belmont hospital so he could pick up the prep solution for his colonoscopy on Tuesday.

At 6pm he had to drink the stuff which resulted in him being up most of the night on Tuesday morning he said he felt sick in the gut so he didn't drink the morning solution.

He was home by 3pm and felt fine but he can't drive for 24hrs which I knew but when I thought about telling him, I decided not to bother as I know Tim well enough to know he would shrug it off and say he would see how he felt on the day. However, because the hospital told him he couldn't drive he had Wednesday off as well.

Wednesday I at last went back to aqua which I enjoyed a few people commented that it was nice to see me back.

Thursday it was cold enough when I got up that I put on my warm dressing gown.

Friday I went shopping at Charlestown Square saw mum for breakfast along with Dawson, Natasha had to pick them up as Sandra had a Mother's Day breakfast at the school.

It is so cold this afternoon that I had to get out my really warm blue pyjama pants and a long sleeve singlet.

Saturday morning I was woken at 8am by Natasha knocking on my bedroom window, I got out of bed stood for a moment thought I dreamt it so got back into bed and Tim got up to let her in. She was dropping off shopping she did for me yesterday.

At around 9.30am Kathy-Lee arrived with more shopping for me, I received a text message from the supermarket telling me that they were unable to take my payment. So I logged into my bank and discovered that I was 60cents short, I was lucky that Kathy was able to pay for it and I transferred the money back to her.

Also while here she told Tim her car was over heating turned out she needed water and coolant, the car took 3.5 litres of water the max it takes is 5 litres.

I also asked Natasha & Kathy to put another blanket on the bed as Tim has been cold at night.

Sunday morning I was still in bed when Natasha arrived and she gave me my Mother's Day present which was bath stuff.

Poem Thursday No:12

Good morning for some reason I forgot to do a post yesterday, I thought about it but just didn't get around to writing it.

Anyway it is now Thursday so here is today's little poem.

Flowers are lovely; love is flower like;

Friendship is a sheltering tree;

Oh, the joys that come down shower-like!

BY: Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Gross Tuesday No 12

Good morning a coolish day in my opinion although Natasha & Tim think it's cold.

Well it is Tuesday so it is gross facts day.

Cockroaches can live for weeks without their heads

There are about 4,000 different species of cockroaches but only 30 are considered pests.

Cockroaches can rat just about anything, including glue, paper and soap.

They can survive for long periods of time without any food at all.

Insects and bugs can be useful in creating honey, wax, silk and other products.

Did you know No:19

Good afternoon everyone, how are you all this fine but cool Monday, Tim is off today so he drove Leo to school. Since it is Monday it is did you know day, so here are today's facts.

The first competition in the world's first Olympic games in 776BC, was a foot race. The participants were all male and nude.

Every seconds two Barbie dolls are sold somewhere in the world

More than 30 million Lego blocks were used to construct all the models at t he Legoland park in California.

In 1990 the Johnson's Confectionery company at Darling Harbour in Sydney, Australia made a lollipop that weighed 1.01 tons (2,220lb & 11oz).

The letter “b” took it's present form from a symbol used in Egyptian hieroglyphics to represent a house.

The Week That Was No:18

Just posted the last week that was post, so now I am starting a new week that was post.

Last night around 11pm Leo came into my bedroom in tears, he had spilt his drink over his laptop causing it to not work. He is upset about breaking it, I am annoyed but getting angry isn't going to change anything.

Monday was my dad's funeral there was a good turn out like around 80 people I was glad that all my girls and grandsons attended, mum held up well she shed some tears and I managed to read my letter to dad without getting upset.

I placed my letter to dad on his coffin to be buried with him also there was a letter from Jessica as well as Hayley and Denni.

Tuesday was another busy day, had an appointment at Leo's school then Jessica had to go and hand in her lease review then home and off to the doctors I go. Today is the first day of second school term.

Wednesday I did nothing and went nowhere, I did have to wake Leo at 7.50 and again at 8.00am to get ready for school.

Thursday was another day doing nothing and going nowhere, Leo here for the night.

Friday morning when I got up I found Leo awake and sitting on the lounge and when I went to turn the TV on Foxtel (pay tv) wasn't working. I had to turn the box off at the power point and turn it back on again to get it to work.

Had a fine day and a wet afternoon, Leo here again tonight while his mum is working.

Saturday morning Tim & I drove Leo home before we went over too mum's to pick up the cans & bottles from dad's wake. It is a cool slightly wet day.

Mum was ok she is holding up well, she has been watching a lot of TV because she needs to be doing something otherwise she starts to think about going through dad's stuff something she is ready to do as she feels it will be too hard to do. Just after dad died Dawson packed up dad's odds and ends into a clear plastic container and left sitting on the table dad used this upset my sister she felt it was wrong and mum was just getting rid of dad's stuff.

The rest of the day was spent writing letters to pen pals and doing nothing much.

Thursday Poems

Crreature Wednesday

Hello world, here we area at Wednesday so it is creature day and today's creature is the kangaroo.

There are four types of kangaroos, the Red, the Antilopine and the Western & Eastern Greys. The largest is the Red kangaroo which stands at 2 metres, it's top speed is 65 km/h and it can jump 3 metres high and 7.6 metres in length.

When on land their hind legs move together, but when in water their legs move separately, they are the only animals that use hopping as their primary method of movement.

Female kangaroos can determine the sex of their offspring. They can even delay gestation when environmental factors are likely to diminish the chance of young surviving.

Like all marsupials, kangaroos are born extremely early; the equivalent of the seventh week of pregnancy for humans. They travel from the birth canal as little more than an embryo by blindly propelling through the mother’s fur to the safety of the pouch, where they will spend several months developing before finally leaving to explore the world.

Young kangaroos are called Joeys and will sometimes jump head first into their mother’s pouch when frightened.

Kangaroos have excellent hearing, and like some other animals are able to move their ears in different directions without moving the rest of their head.

There are more kangaroos than humans in Australia. They are the national symbol of Australia and appear on postage stamps, coins, and aeroplanes.
