We went Back to Jim & Merry’s & had happy hour & had tea, a good night. Tuesday 11-5-10 Today Den put in a shelf for the Satellite strong box & put our dining room TV on an arm so we don’t have to disconnect the TV every time we move . We went to see Warwick & Margy & Karen was there with Brielle & it was great catching up with them, we had lunch there & Annie & Jessie rememberer Bailey & Chloe & we got a right royal welcome from them. After lunch Merry & I went to get some more shade cloth for our van’s annex, so will try in the next few days to sew it all up. Wednesday 12-5-10 All go today, Den doing more shelf making & I got stuck into extending the shade mesh annex, Dad & Ivy came out for lunch & it was good to see them. I then did some more sewing & called it quits at 3.30 . Thursday 13-5-10 Den
went to see his work mates where he used to work & to do a few errands. I got into the sewing again & eventually got it done (what a job). Dean had come out to see me & kept me company & watched the girls while I sewed. I cut Den’s hair & got tea for everyone. We had a nice night & then watched TV. Friday 14-5-10 We went to book into the Dr’s for me for some scripts & had to wait for 2 hours so we went to see Ron & Cheryl, who weren’t home & then went to see an old neighbour Justin & Simone. We had a coffee with them & it was good catching up. Our house has not changed, even the garden is the same, it was funny , we did not miss it at all. We then went back to the Dr’s & back to Jim & Merry’s. Dad & Ivy called out & we had a chat & then packed a bag as we are going to see friends tonight & stay over. There was Ron & Lorraine, John & Jill, Woody & Chris & us, we ordered in Chinese
food & we all talked our heads off & had a few too many & before we knew it, it was 1am we had a great night. We slept well. I forgot to take some photos (silly Me) Saturday 15-5-10 Today we felt pretty ordinary, we got back to the van & the girls were pleased to see us ( Jim & Merry had looked after them overnight & they were good girls) I decided to have a lay down for a few hours so I could feel human again with 2 Panadol. We watched Jessica Watson sail into Sydney, a remarkable young girl, then Den watched the V8’s & I caught up with my diary. We had tea with Merry & Jim & I did Merry’s hair. Sunday 16-5-10 Den went “Winter Swimming” (silly Buggar) & caught up with all his mates , while I took a walk on the beach. It was a lovely day & the water temp was a warm 19deg. He had a great time, we then went to Western Suburbs Buffet Lunch (prawns, salad, roasts, chinese, sweets, you name it for $15) with Dad, Ivy, Jim, Merry, Dean & friends Norma & Bob. We
had a nice time & then went back to the van & we both had a nanna & poppy nap. Monday 17-5-10 We moved van’s around as Merry & Jim are going to Merimbula tomorrow on a caravan rally. After that was done Marg rang up & invited us to tea at Nathan & Karen’s & Beck was coming from Sydney with her two kids, Lissy & Dillon . We surprised Cait by picking her up from school with Marg & Warwick & she was so excited to see us. Cait & Brielle, Lissy & Dillon are our great Nieces & Nephew & they are all delightful children & we are so proud of our Nieces & partners for doing such a good job at bringing them up. We had a great night & all was good. Tuesday 18-5-10 Today Jim & Merry got away about 8am & we went & did a little shopping & then I caught up my diary & did a little cleaning & had a quiet day. Wednesday 19-5-10 Today we clipped the dogs, bathed them, did the washing & had a busy day. Thursday 20-5-10 , My back is not good & I feel
like I am getting a cold, so easy day today. I don’t want to give Dad & Ivy , or any friends a cold. Friday 21-5-10 we went shopping & to the Dr’s to get a Centrelink form filled out & then dropped it back to them, by this time it was time to rest my back. Saturday 22-5-10 Den did a few jobs to the van, washed the awning, changed the anode in the water heater (boy did it need it, all that bore water we used on our trip) & flushed the water tanks out. We went to tea with Warwick, Marg, Cait & Brielle (they were babysitting) . We had chinese & a great night, we played Canasta which we had not played for over 12 months. It was 1am (another late night) . Sunday 22-5-10 I got up feeling crook with my cold (first one I have had in 12 months, time to get on the road to warmer weather Darwin sounds good it is 32 deg up there today) We were supposed to & see friends Ron & Lorraine, Den going winter swimming while I had a cuppa with Lorraine, but they are going to
China on Friday & I did not want to give them the flu. Also we were to have lunch with Dad & Ivy, same there they don’t want my bug either. So Den went off to winter swimming & I stayed home & did my diary & blog & caught up with some Pictures & we had an easy day. We had a call from Corey & poor Hayden had a fall off his motor bike & broke his arm, no riding for at least 8 weeks. Monday 23-5-10 Another quiet day, Den mowed the lawn & I did some washing . Tuesday 24-5-10 We had to go to Dapto as I had an infusion at the blood bank, it’s a yearly injection for osteoporosis, 1 less tablet. We did some shopping & came home. My cold is not much better & I am coughing more. Margy came out to visit, which was nice & we are going to have tea together Thursday night. Wednesday 25-5-10 I tidied up out on the back patio & cleaned the bathroom we are using, Jim & Merry are coming home today. We are not going anywhere , as it is pouring rain &
it did that all day. Jim & Merry got home at 3.30pm in the rain & decided to do most of the unpacking tomorrow. We had a drink & watched the Blues get a flogging (State of Origin football).
