My day

[freddie*rooster]

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

[punch*drunk]

She probably wouldnt believe that she has anxiety so not likely to seek help.

At the moment she's just a bit angry with them about their attitude. The ministry didnt actually offer her the house and they were waiting for some paperwork to come through before any official offers, but the other place seem to think she knocked it back and they've come down on her pretty hard and she's a bit defensive. Just a bit of miscommunication going on thats her got her a bit upset. I'm sure it will smooth over.

Hope everyone had a nice day:)  Mine was spent inside doing house work ( which I hate ), too darn windy and cold to be outside, which was a shame as I have so much I need to be doing in shade house/hot house etc

Morning....where is that sun this morning? There is washing to dry!

Waiting for the plumber to arrive and swap over the pressure release valve.....in exchange for taking up his jeans. Good deal 🙂

Punch.....Maybe worth her having a word with housing re her concerns. Or have a social worker do it on her behalf. This is the sister with the sn child? Never rains but pours

Off birthday shopping for Miss nearly 11. Her wish list, visit her cousins in Perth!!!! 

Oh and my Forever Friends rose is just about to burst into bloom.....lots of buds this year 🙂

Older women......

SHE WALKED UP AND TIED HER OLD MULE TO THE HITCHING POST. AS SHE STOOD THERE, BRUSHING SOME OF THE DUST FROM HER FACE AND CLOTHES, A YOUNG GUNSLINGER STEPPED OUT OF THE SALOON WITH A GUN IN ONE HAND AND A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY IN THE OTHER.

THE YOUNG GUNSLINGER LOOKED AT THE OLD WOMAN AND LAUGHED, "HEY OLD WOMAN, HAVE YOU EVER DANCED?"

THE OLD WOMAN LOOKED UP AT THE GUNSLINGER AND SAID, "NO, I NEVER DID DANCE; NEVER REALLY WANTED TO."

A CROWD HAD GATHERED AS THE GUNSLINGER GRINNED AND SAID, "WELL, YOU OLD BAG, YOU'RE GONNA DANCE NOW," AND STARTED SHOOTING AT THE OLD WOMAN'S FEET.

THE OLD WOMAN PROSPECTOR, NOT WANTING TO GET HER TOE BLOWN OFF, STARTED HOPPING AROUND. EVERYBODY WAS LAUGHING.

WHEN HIS LAST BULLET HAD BEEN FIRED, THE YOUNG GUNSLINGER, STILL LAUGHING, HOLSTERED HIS GUN AND TURNED AROUND TO GO BACK INTO THE SALOON.

THE OLD WOMAN TURNED TO HER PACK MULE, PULLED OUT A DOUBLE-BARRELLED SHOTGUN, AND COCKED BOTH HAMMERS.

THE LOUD CLICKS CARRIED CLEARLY THROUGH THE DESERT AIR. THE CROWD STOPPED LAUGHING IMMEDIATELY.

THE YOUNG GUNSLINGER HEARD THE SOUNDS, TOO, AND HE TURNED AROUND VERY SLOWLY. THE SILENCE WAS ALMOST DEAFENING.

THE CROWD WATCHED AS THE YOUNG GUNMAN STARED AT THE OLD WOMAN AND THE LARGE GAPING HOLES OF THOSE TWIN BARRELS. THE BARRELS OF THE SHOTGUN NEVER WAVERED IN THE OLD WOMAN'S HANDS, AS SHE QUIETLY SAID, "SON, HAVE YOU EVER KISSED A MULE'S ASS?"

THE GUNSLINGER SWALLOWED HARD AND SAID, "NO M'AM, BUT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO."

THERE ARE A FEW LESSONS HERE FOR ALL OF US:

1 - Never be arrogant.

2 - Don't waste ammunition.

3 - Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are.

4 - Always, always make sure you know who has the power

5 - Don't mess with old women; they didn't get old by being stupid.

Good morning, anyone one for fresh strawberries?  

[katydidthat]

Freddie ... nice dog ... who is that HANDSOME man?

Bushies, love the washstand ... could you cover the freezer with some cloth? Maybe a table cloth? If you don't use it much you could add a vase with some fake flowers in it that match the ones on the washstand.

Are the flowers on tiles?

[bushies.girl]

Morning Katy 🙂

Ty re washstand, yes they are tiles, I love it also so it will stay for while 🙂

I dont mind the freezer where it is, it's only a sunroom off the kitchen, so it doesn't bother me that much having it there. It will probably graduate to the back verandah when I get tired of it being there. Thats where my old one was, but this one is a bit "new" atm lol

Morning Bushies 🙂

I have a dressing table with tiles ... I love it. It's probably from around the 1920s ... like my dining table.

Yep, thats the one. She was feeling better about it all by last night. The woman that was rude to her rang and apologised, she had gotten wrong information from the housing ministry, apparently the girl there is new or something and wired got crossed somewhere. So we're pretty sure she'll still be moving to that house, just wish they'd tell us exactly where it is. All we know so far is "its somewhere near Dandenong". Makes it a bit tricky to organise removalists, schools etc

I'm heading down there this morning to start sorting through the hoards of stuff to see what can be thrown out before the move. they want her out asap but I'm pretty sure they'll have to give a certain amount of notice, a shift this big cant just be organised overnight especially with a long weekend coming up.

Morning all,

Katy, that's my one and only he's even more handsome now. That picture was taken oh about 15yrs ago. I hear the marlin picture is doing the rounds of the who's who of the fishing hierarchy who are all very impressed.

Looks like another warm day here. The elderly handyman was to come and get the front door yesterday, I think he may have forgotten I will give him a call today.

Ironing to be done before it get's too hot.

Enjoy your day, best of luck to all the younguns sitting exams.
