I have just been to a birthday party for the 2 year old who lives next door.  I am now full of sugar. Plenty of cup cakes and red cordial.

Hahaha soooo, no dinner tonight grandy?

I am still waiting to hear if my son's property has sold. but I am cynical and old and bluddy nasty and I think they are game playing... they keep saying they are going to make an offer 'this week' or to day, but then they don't

I am brassed orf X-(

So were you high as a kite on the red cordial?B-)

Been a beautiful day here, 24deg and plenty of sun, got all washing dry, made the most of the sun and washed everything that was thick, like my dressing gown and all dried.

Bedtime for me, have a good sleep everyone.

Good morning gerries.

Winds up to 75 ks predicted here today--maybe

the same up in the Dandenongs  Purple.

Batten down the hatches....................Richo.

Morning all, no news from my son's place yet 😞

Yep wild winds and wondering if they are going to stay the course and get down here.

We do get gale force winds and they can be bluddy nasty.

arvo all♥

shopping today and chasing a JP...happened to be the retired R.E. Agent that sold us our house 8 years ago...Nice to catch up.

Anyone done a Reverse Mortgage Loan?  seriously thinking of it.

Afternoon Gerries:-)

Horrible day here in The Dandenongs, 3 trees so far down on the road I live on, so road is closed and has been since last night.

Also a huge gum tree down in neighbours yard, just missed roof of house.

We havent had any rain, comes over very black & just passes over, would much prefer the rain to the wind, especially up here, where we are surrounded by huge gum trees.

Hope it isnt too bad where you are Richo.

Evening gerries--------got away with it Purple.

Did give you the tip off at 6 am.

Had winds up to 87ks--lots of trees down.

Made driving in the area a nightmare. 

looks like its all faded away...................Richo.

No haven't done that gil, will be interested to see what you think, if you go ahead with it.

I know that, given another 8 years I will have to move from here and downsize, as I will need to get closer to town where the facilities are more available.

Don't want to do it yet, and of course, with two dogs, it's not practical...

Talking of which, what plans do you have for reeeeely old age if we get there?

As I said I am planning to move closer to town.  I have seen some retirement village cottages with gardens which are very nice, or I might buy something small of my own nearer to Kingston.

Given that I will probably make it to 90 -ish, I want to be near to services but independent for as long as possible.
