Its getting busier every day...

Well, Grandchild no 2 has safely arrived...and he is georgeous. On first appearance he looks like my father!!! Oh well! he will grow out of it and become his own cute little self like his bigger brother. Karen had a really good, quick labour, and when we arrived to see her in the hospital after the birth, she was up and about, looking wonderful. I also went up to spend some time with her when she was out of the hospital on Friday, and you would never guess she had a newborn. I had some quality time with Seth 2, hyping him up. Boy, he is fun! I am really enjoying this! I am so proud of her, she is such a good mummy and home maker.

I did another job as an extra for the new show on TV. It just commenced last week, and we actually saw Daniel in a party scene. It was fun. Interesting.

Have been on the "soup" diet all week. Since I have had this autoimmune disease, it has been effecting my thyroid, and I have put on weight, so I finally feel inspired enough to do something about it. It is very difficult to do much exercise, as I used to walk alot for exercise, as I have a very bad ankle nowadays, which makes it very painful and difficult to walk. But life goes on. My main exercise is keeping this big place clean and running.

We had our fundraising dinner last night, and quite a few of my kids and their respective partners came. Really great food. We had it at a restaurant owned by Peter, of Nadia's brother...Paul...quite good night. Tim and Sara won one of the raffles.

and today, the only day I can relax in the morning. I don't have to do anything until I take Peter to work at 11am....

here...

It has been the internet...or lack of, but now have somewhat addressed the situation, so it is possible to go online.

mmm...its been awhile. Have had some flu going around with a few in bed, but fortunately it has missed me. I actually, have been up and about. Have planted masses of colour in the garden, and really enjoyed doing it. Very theraputic. Cleaned out the garage, which was a monstrous feat. Such a good feeling having done these things.

Still driving with Peter. enough said.

Did a photoshoot for NAB/MCL banks and investment firms, had to spend the day sitting a conference situation and relaxing with "colleages" in a business suit, It was for their upcoming brochures. Was the easiest day of work ever. met some great people. The type of people that do this kind of work are fascinating. I have met a guy in his 30s studying theology. Wants to become a priest, but totally disallusioned with the Catholic church...(no comment). Quite a few people who have retired or own their own businesses and want to do something different that is financially productive. It can be very entertaining.

Been preparing for our up and coming dinner to raise funds for the work. Should be a good night.

Need to go, with all soon

It has been very difficult to do anything on line the last week, our connection has been moving so slow/ We had Karen's baby shower here last weekend, and it was quite a good afternoon. I have been still getting dental work done, and have started to help out Celia driving the kids home from school. So anyway I just want to attempt to upload some pics now, while I am even able to get online.

back again

Been abit going on of late, it was the school holidays. AND our connection was moving quite slowly. We had Sam and Ronda visit us on their way home from their trip to the States, which was so nice, catching up. We had a couple of dinners with various friends, and family. Was too short!

Rick and I then went to Adelaide on a super cheep fare at the end of the holidays, which was good. The weather has been particularly cold for a bit, so it was good to get moving.
