Month: October 2009

Ok some things are going to have to change – my memory is not getting any better – I may have to look for books on improving it or tips for the same on the Internet – that’s if I remember lol

Shower time yesterday morning sees me starting to lather up and realising I still had my glasses on – and what’s worse is its not the first time either:(

Then in the afternoon I almost tear the house to pieces looking for a business card I’d had yesterday. Both Dh and I remember me sitting down with it in my hand whilst I was talking to him about ringing the tradesman. The roof on the deck is need of repair – or more to the point – we need a new roof over the deck.

A friend had used him and was very impressed with his work but instead of just copying out the phone number gave me the card – but could she have it back in case she needed him again. In other words (‘cose she knows me and what happens to paper in my house) don’t lose it lol

I hunted everywhere but to no avail – tidied drawers and corners, fluffed pillows, sorted so much paperwork,

I don’t think there’s a piece of paper that is not legitimately in the house now but still couldn’t find it.

Walked into the laundry and there it was – on the noticeboard where I’d pinned it for safekeeping!!

So now I’m wondering if I’m really starting to show signs of short-term memory loss or was it just one of those days?

Hello everyone – thanks for your encouragement as far as the Blogger photo issue.  In fact its been nice to see all the the bloggers who have dropped in recently and to read their comments. 

I think I’ve fixed the problem, went back into the posts and reduced the size of the photos and it seems to be showing all the picture now.  Hopefully thats all the problem was. 

Its a nuisance when something is advertised as being ‘better than the previous ‘ version yet doesn’t deliver the goods or even live up to our expectations – you’d think we’d learn by now that it isn’t always the case lol

I really think this has been the week that wasn’t – it rained for the majority of the time and I felt quite miserable.  All my thoughts of being out in the fresh air went poof – or do I mean splosh – I suppose I could have done something out there but it would have been in little bursts as once one rainy period ended another came along soon after – bit like they used to say in England about buses – there’ll be another along soon lol   No sooner did I put my wellies on I was taking them off again so as is rather obvious I spent a lot of time in front of the computer. 

I took loads of photos when we in Queensland and really wanted to share them with you so decided to take part in some of the weekly photo memes – do you know how long it takes to decide which photos to use and then sort them into order and then load them – then workout when to post them – having to take time differences into consideration – good job it was raining as I seemed to spend hours here lol

I hope you’ve enjoyed them all as I may do them again next week:))

Anyway the pity party is over, there’s no more sweet stuff left in the house ‘cose I ate it all,  the freezers almost empty of those soups and standby meals I put aside when I cooked too much – I’m not an enthusiastic cook at the best of times and my enthusiasm had certainly left me last week so I was glad of all the hidden mysterys in there, 

Normal service has now resumed.

I cooked dinner Monday evening after Dh got back from Sydney (tossed some diced chicken breasts into a pan with onion and garlic, added some chicken stock courtesy of the last carcass I had in the freezer, diced carrot, potato and sweet potato (‘cose thats all the fresh veg I had) found a small tin of chick peas lurking in the cupboard so they went in, yes I know lots of white and not much colour lol) and it bubbled away for a while till soft and ready.   We ate it with hunks of bread, quick and easy, delicious and light tasting but not tastless.

I managed to take myself out for a walk ealier on this morning which is something that also has gone by the board and Dh’s gone off to golf. – and – this is good – I won’t need to cook this evening as theres heaps left from Monday evening sitting in the fridge

Yesterday we went to see some friends at Healesville, they are a little bit older than us and have found thmeselves slowing down – G’s got a ‘bd back’ and F get tired  but they do still like to have ‘people round for lunch’.  A very simple meal of cold meats and salad along with an apple cake F had made teamed with berries and cream.  Believe it or not after all those cold wet days we had last week. yesterday was very sunny and very warm – about 27c/81f – too warm for them so they had put the cooling on. 

I recently changed to a new ‘updated’ version of Blogger –
But sometimes there only seems to be part of my photograph published. 
It seems fine at first but then if I go back an view the blog days later I notice half of it is cut off. 
It also isn’t every post – some are fine and some seem to be cropped in half
Has anyone else had this problem?
