My day

[freddie*rooster]

After several hours during the week clearing and cleaning up a messy garden my day started like this

Waves to Bushie, Freddie, Sandy 🙂

good morning everyone... Busy day today. Started thinking about work so not sleeping. The cold snap is making me very hungry too.

Oh dear 

Everyone busy?

Or has this lovely thread petered out....

I hope Bushie's steps have come together, I'd love to see a pic of the finished product.

Amber, it's awesome that you overcame the trauma and can swim again!

When I was working (teacher's Aide) I got given the Non Swimmers to babysit in the baby pool during school swimming classes, and by the end all of them could at least paddle a few metres to the pool edge. Nothing orthodox in my methods, I just did what had been done to me (I also had a near drowning experience and was terrified of water). 

The lovely woman who eventually got me swimming taught me breast stroke so I didn't need to put my face in the water.

Yes B3, it's a shame isn't it that wonderful threads like this can be 'generated' out like this one was ....

Morning everyone.  I was reading about Jackie French have been named Senior Australian of the Year.  I had only remembered her from Burke's Backyard.  The days when she gave alternate remedies and potions and lotions.  And when she was a "cuddly" person.

I didn't know she was an author.  How embarrassing.  (I'm still reading books from the pre-60s)  However, having looked around Mr Google's pages, I discovered the Talking Heads interview.  I am delighted to have re-found her.  Perhaps, you will find her life's story just as interesting.

About to wipe the marmalade from my face and venture out into the cool morning and re-visit my woodworking and shellac pot.
