Here I sit in Redcliffe at my SIL's house, BIL is at work, due home after 6 and before 7, SIL is doing a pet/house sit and won't be here until tomorrow night. OH is watching Tv downstairs, both the doggies are having an after dinner snooze and the pussy cat has gone to bed. So here I sit with the laptop, could really do with a cold beer, or a glass of red, just about anything would do.
We arrived at about 5.20 yesterday, just in time for a hasty clothes change and jump in SIL's car for the trip to the station to catch a train into the city to see John Farnham. Well we made the train connection with a bit of a run at the finish, but we made it. Had a bit of a walk from the station to the concert centre, got misplaced a couple of times, finished up getting a ride in a rickshaw type bicycle powered thing, was a laugh and a great way to finish the journey. Made the concert hall and our seats in the middle of the row, with about 5 minutes to spare. Once the concert starts, they close the doors and you wait until half time.
I enjoyed the concert, first half was an old time set and songs, second half was more upmarket set, lighting and the Whispering Jack album. Never having seen him perform live I had nothing to compapre it to, but hell it was good, really enjoyed it.
We arrived home about 12.30. SIL has now suggested that if she gets special tickets to Rod Stewart at the Entertainment Centre next year, would I be interested - well is the Pope a Catholic, only trouble is we think it will be in March, and March is my holiday time down South.

Will keep you posted.

Today we went to the Gun Club, results are not good, matter of fact they are terrible, hopefully tomorrow will be better.
On the way back we called at at Salvos Shop, 3 garage sales and Antique shop and Aldis.

All up the trip is going well, more later.

Glad you liked John, Wima, he still has an amazing voice.

About to rain here, thunder and lightening already, have a good day everyone.

Hi, Home again, arrived about 3.30 yesterday, had a couple of stops on the way. Called on the man with the carnival glass, unfortunately he wouldn't sell any more pieces singularly, it was the lot or none, O.K. so it was none.
Then we called on a collector in Maryborough, he goes out and digs in dumps and rubbish tips, have never seen such a collection of all sorts of things, including a top denture that is made of GOLD, how about that. He has a big collection of ink bottles including two desk sets, one in green uranium glass, the bottles have silver tops, an the other in citron glass, unfortunately it has the tops missing, never seen such a collection.
Shooting finished up a bit better, Neil won the Veteran's High gun for the second day.
Just did a bit of a Google for Rod Stewart and he will be here in February, only trouble is the tickets have been on sale since August, don't really like our chances of getting front row seats!!!!
Not much else happening, been having a look at air fares and accommodation for Christchurch for next year, hard to get a direct flight home, most are either through Aukland or Sydney, or both and often have a stay over, will have to keep looking.
No rain up here, bright and sunny, light breeze and it will probably be fairly warm.

Have a good one.

Wilma.

How was Toowoomba Hynes??????

[putney32]

just dropping in to say Vic is much improved, home and almost back to his 'normal'.. we have decided to move out of this house in May next year, into temp. rental accommodation, and then I'll get this place ready to Sell, then we can look for a more suitable unit/townhouse for us.

now that we have made the decision I have to get my skates on and start de-cluttering, de-junking .... yikes!! I did ONE drawer in the spare bedroom and filled a small carton with OUT-stuff!! ONE Drawer....!!!!!!!


I'll do it, I KNOW I can, I KNOW I will.....;-)

Hi Lyndel, great news that Vic is improving. :-x

Don't envy you the move though. Can't you get Mum's place to live in when the tenants move out in April then?

[kooriflag]

Of course you can :-x

And we will all be waiting to see what treasures turn up here on ebay.

Stay strong

Lyndel that is good news, and, good news about the move too, at least you can do it on your own terms, and, end up with a nice modern place that is easy for you to live in. I will be watching too, to see what is in the drawers, hahaha.

yes Mon, that's where we'll move into.. think I'll have it painted first, been 12 years since it was done.
Mum's is a bit small for us, but at least it'll do for a few months, and I'll send lots and lots of stuff into storage...
wont make final decisions on keep / sell until after we have our own place again.

but the 'clearing' is starting NOW.....

[mini*lindy]

Of course you can :-x
