Day: October 16, 2013

According to some I’m a bit odd where birthdays are concerned – they come and they go and they are just another day in the year.  The Golfer is a bit different and does like to have a fuss made on his special day.

Now it’s not often we actually go out for lunch – especially when it involves a half hour drive in cool cloudy misty weather – so it had to be a special occasion when we did just that earlier this week.  Lunch was at The Golfer’s club in Healesville – trouble was the weather didn’t play nice so we had to eat inside instead of on the terrace with the fabulous view of the surrounding hills.

No outdoor dining that day 😦

No hills to been seen or walkers by the lake that day 😦

But afterwards there was cake in the lounge 🙂
A special little cake the club gives members (as well as lunch) to celebrate their birthdays.
Mine is in the same week so we ‘dine together’ lol

Happy Birthday Sunshine

Yes, back a couple of weeks and already starting to flag
‘where’ve you been’ was the question asked in the email.

Taking time to smell the roses I replied!

Home a couple of weeks now, sleeping well but weary so slowed down – not actually dropped out, just slowed down enough to enjoy doing nothing.

So what else? she asked in the next email

Well, says I – I’ve been…….

Doing some gardening in the on again off again weather minus the awful leg pain that’s dogged me for the past two years.  I’ve been walking round planning – what needs cutting back,  moving or even taken out, remembering (and now experiencing ) what it is like to be able to get down to weed.  With the last horrendously hot summer we had coupled with the wettest winter for years that was something that went by the wayside

Wondering what I will actually do with the washing line lavender which after it’s near death by Catherine’s hands escapade still insists on only growing on one side – might have to cut the ‘good’ side right down to give some light to the other.  Bit of a shame as it’s justing starting to bloom 😦

Working on the knitting I told you about recently
Reading a couple of library books by ‘new to me’ authors – those pick off the shelf ‘wonder what these’ll be like’ books I take home sometimes.
Going out for coffee in a ‘new to me’ but has been there for years ‘chocolate cafe’
Driving out to a very cool wet and misty Healesville golf course.

Oh that’s great she said,  not exactly the nothing you said you were doing – you have to tell me more about those last few things.
Right you’re on – says I
