Quietly Does It

This has been well known for at least a decade, but mainstream media and medicine still keep it quiet - big pharma have too much to lose, but you need to know …

I’ve had a very quiet weekend. 

I did a little art, watched lots of sports (football, golf, darts), cooked (home made sausage rolls, bangers and mash, tuna patties, spinach and roast pumpkin salad and goat curry), napping, Harley play, gardening and not much else.

We ate my first batch of beans from the garden - yum.

I made an avatar of myself with the Apple Playground app. I gave it my photo and gave the instructions - old - long grey hair - white shirt - cowboy hat with frayed edges - lots of silver pendant jewellery and this is what it gave me …

A very flattering version of a female that looks a little like me.

I have a fairly busy week ahead of me - meditation tomorrow followed by a visit with The Gypsy who is house sitting in town for a week, Wednesday in the bay, morning tea with my art girls on Thursday, then we are hit with Easter!

We all know that we need to hibernate for 4 days while the town is overrun with Easter holiday makers for the annual fishing classic.

Ugh.

Right now, it’s time to sleep.

Nite all.

Overdoing It

I’ve spent a LOT of time in the Bay this week.

On Wednesday, for the first time in 9 years, I caught the bus into the Bay for some solo time. The fare was 50c - last time I caught it, the price was $2.70 one way.

It was a pleasant trip that took one hour. It didn’t feel like an hour. There were 13 passengers and we got every green light, including the roadworks light. Lucky!

I will happily do it again.

I enjoyed 3 hours by myself, browsing the shops (I found nothing to purchase), did some grocery shopping, sat down for a green juice at The Jam Jar and then called Adoring Husband to pick me up. He had a couple of errands to run so had driven into town about 20 minutes before my call, so the timing was perfect.

On Thursday, BGWLBH had to work at the craft store, so I came into town with her and had some more ‘me’ time.

We drove into town in her courtesy car - she had left her car with the dealer because her car key wasn’t working efficiently and they were supposedly recalibrating it. The courtesy car was a Nissan X-trail and I REALLY liked it (as a passenger). Very comfortable seats and less road noise than most cars.

Today we returned the courtesy car, so spent another couple of hours in the bay.

I’ve certainly overdone it this week and I’m feeling a bit weary. I’ll need a few days to ‘recalibrate’ myself!

Wednesday night for dinner, was chicken saltimbocca with vegetables, Thursday was spaghetti bolognese and this afternoon I crumbed some raw prawn cutlets and cooked them for myself. It seems that Friday AND Saturday are now ‘fend for yourself’ night.

Tonight I thoroughly enjoyed two games of footy. Tigers thrashed the top of the ladder Warriors and my beloved Broncos defeated the Dolphins. I didn’t tip the Tigers but I’m very happy that they won.

I did some art while the footy was on and will hopefully do some more tomorrow. I plan a very quiet and relaxing weekend.

Before I sign off, I need to mention the my Schumann Wave Signal Generator is working a treat and I’ve had three full days without any pain - first time that’s happened in about 3 years. It’s wonderful.

Now it’s time to sleep.

Nite all.

My World is Uneventful

Struggling to fall asleep for a few nights and then staying in bed til 9.30am because my energy levels were too low. Last night was a bit tricky because I had to wake early for meditation. Today I ran on 4 hours sleep.

Meditation was great and I didn’t get to spend time with The Gypsy because she had a house inspection for her rental property and had to go straight home.

I came home to finish watching Virgin River and was devastated that my favourite character was involved in a motor bike accident right at the end of the season! Now I have to wait until next season to see if he survives!

😭

My footy tips over the weekend were disappointing so I have some catching up to do this week.

Adoring Husband has been working super hard on the new path and also trying to find an electrician because he accidentally cut through some underground power lines and cut the power to the pool kitchen. NOT his fault because the last electrician didn’t lay them deep enough in the ground. Annoying.

I think I’m going to catch the bus into the bay tomorrow. I feel like some “me” time.

For now, I’d best catch up on some lost sleep.

Happy birthday to my Vegan Chickie for yesterday and to Mr Perfect for Thursday. Lots of birthdays in the first half of the year for me.

Nite all.

Stoopid Football

My footy tipping has fallen into the toilet bowl this week.

Ugh 😩

Just two correct out of six so far.

My day included playing with Harley, tending my garden, making more sausage rolls (I added celery, carrot, onion and some herbs), watching more Virgin River followed by 3 games of football.

The sausage rolls were amazing and today I’ve eaten 8 of them! I have 7 left.

I didn’t do any art.

Adoring Husband continued with the path outside.

We had some rain this afternoon and there are storms forecast for the night.

Let’s try for some art time tomorrow!

Nite all.

This is Life

Not much happening in this neck of the woods.

Adoring Husband is replacing the timber path that goes from our alfresco area to the pool gate, so he is heavily into manual labour right now. The weather is still hot so it’s not conducive to this work. He needs to start early and finish before the heat of the day sets in.

I spent Thursday in the bay. I wasn’t well, so it was a struggle all day and I needed to find a seat 15 times (yes I counted) and we were home by 1.30pm so that’s a lot of sitting in a short period of time. Today was much better.

Mr Perfect has spent more time in hospital but seems to be on the improve now. However, I did text 8 hours ago and haven’t had a response so fingers crossed that he is still healing and generally well.

BGWLBH has been working at the craft store, which she enjoys very much.

Today, I cleaned the toilet, mopped the floor, experimented with home made sausage rolls which were so delicious that I ate all five of them - but I have enough ingredients to make more tomorrow for ‘fend for yourself’ night.

I caught up on some episodes of Virgin River and watched the football. I did NOT tip my beloved Broncos but they actually defeated Melbourne Storm. Even all the experts tipped against them! I’m happy that they won.

Tomorrow, I think I’d like to do some art.

Best get some sleep.

Nite all.
