17-1-10 Sun Well it’s a hot day again, by 12.30 lunch time, the temperature was 47 in the annex, & inside the van the air con had bought the temperature down to 28 deg. I spent the morning catching up on my diary & photos & posted a new blog. After lunch I had an hours nap & Den watched the cricket. We stayed inside nearly all day. The poor girls they nearly burnt there feet on the concrete & grass going to be good girls. You walked outside & the heat just hit you. Ay 4pm , it had only come down by 3 deg in the annex. On the news it was the hottest day being 42.9 in Perth, but I think it was hotter out here as there was no sea breeze. We talked to a few people at 4pm on our free time, & then got tea, Schnitzel & salad & & then watched TV. Its supposed to be 41 again tomorrow, I don’t think we need this. 18-1-10 Mon Today I went to the dentist to get my crown fitted on my front tooth, it looks good & a natural colour. While I was there I
asked about another top tooth that was sore & I had a lump in my gum - yes - a root canal job tomorrow, more money, just what I needed. Well its over 40 deg today, so we sat in the van & we had a game of Uno with Tara & then Den had a nap & I mucked around on the computer. We talked to the kids, which was nice . Jeff (Tara’s dad) was cooking a chook & asked if we wanted to share it , so I cooked the vegies & we had tea in the van, it was 42 deg today, well only supposed to be 38 deg tomorrow, ha , ha. 19-1-10 Tues, Happy Birthday Aunty Dell. Well its been a warm night , & very hot when we opened the door. I headed off to have my root canal done (oh joy , oh joy) & I was in the chair for an hour. The dentist packed the root with antibiotics & I have to take antibiotic tablets as well & go back in 2 weeks to build up the tooth. Den & I walked over to the shopping centre to get my
prescription filled & we came back & had lunch. Then Dens eye started to get sore & when I looked he had the beginnings of Conjunctivitis so he went & got some drops. Tony & Cher dropped in , another couple we met & we had a drink, we had tea & watched some TV & Dens eye looked like I had punched him, so he went to bed. It ended up being 41 today. 20-1-10 Wed Happy Birthday to me. 21 again ha, ha. Been on the road for 9 months today. We were going to go to Raffles for my birthday lunch but Den’s eyes too bad, he took himself to the Dr’s to get more drops, I have never seen eyes so bloodshot & red poor thing. He has to go back on Friday. After lots of phone calls & cards with money, thanks everyone, I cleaned the van & did the washing. Poor Den had a sleep in the avo & I watered & we had a BBQ tea. Tara & her family bought me over a big bunch of flowers , with the problem that I did not have a vase big enough. So the
florist in me got a bucket & put a tablecloth around it & it looked great. Hopefully Den will be better 2morrow It was 30 deg today . 21-1-10 Thurs , Well up half the night putting drops in Den’s eyes, poor bugger he didn’t get much sleep either. We are going to have a BBQ with Hazel & Jack tonight , so I went shopping to spend my money & get some “fat clothes” , seeing I have put on so much weight & get some food for Tea. Den stayed home & had an easy day & a rest & when I got home he gave me a hand as I made some Cheese Balls , fried rice , potato bake & marinated chicken wings. We had a lovely night with them & I think it cheered Den up. Bob & Sue were there - Hazel & Jacks sister & brother in law. Home we came , it has been another hot day here, 31 deg. 22-1-10 Friday Happy Birthday Bruce , another restless night for Den & I as the drops have to be put in every 2 hours. Den went back to the Dr’s & was
given another eye drop, but they aren‘t as red now so hopefully on the mend. We had lunch & Den watched the cricket & I had a nap. I went up & gave Hazel the cheese ball recipe, & was having a chat when Cheryl & Tony turned up for a drink, then Den wandered up so it turned into another happy Hour. We had a good night & wandered home for an easy tea.28 deg today. 23-1-10 Sat Today Den’s eyes are much better so we went to Raffles for my Birthday Lunch, & had a nice time by the Swan River, it was hot but bearable. We came home & had a lay down & had cheese & biscuits for tea as we had such a big lunch. We watched TV after a nice day. It was 32 deg today. 24-1-10 Sun Happy Birthday Dean, we had Bacon & Eggs for breaky & it is heating up already, its supposed to be 35 deg today but I think it will be hotter than that. I am catching up on my diary today & Den’s watching the cricket 1 day match, trying to stay cool in the air con.
We rang Dean for his birthday & he had a nice day. Den went & picked up the washing machine, all fixed we hope. Monday 25-1-10 Today we went to Centrelink, to see about my pension, I have been granted a disability Pension which is good , we might be able to move on now. We then went grocery shopping & got some prawns for Aus Day & then we had to go into the city for Den to get Bled again. His count is coming down & he still needs 2 more goes at least till we can move on. He has made an appointment for the 8th then the 16th Feb so hopefully we can move south. After a busy day we cooked tea & relaxed in the air con. & had an early night. It was 30 Deg today. Tues 26-1-10 happy Australia Day everyone. Today we went to Mandurah to have a picnic in the harbour, we took the girls with us & we sat on the picnic blanket & had Pate , Cheese & Biscuits, & then we had our prawns & bread rolls, Yummy. We had a drink & it was great watching all
the different people & the boats & cars with all the Aussie flags flying & people in Aussie t-shirts , Shorts & Swimmers, unreal. There we 4 elderly Italians next to us & they had bought there chairs & card table & were playing cards for hours, God bless them. We packed up & then went over the other side where there was a band playing & stalls, we took the girls for a walk , but it was so hot we all did not last long. We headed back to the van & had an easy night. It was 35 deg today, Its supposed to get hotter at the end of the week. we have only had 1 afternoon of showers when we first came to Perth I think it is over 60 days since it has rained & it is very dry everywhere.
