I added a lot of gold leaf to my dragonfly and then scraped it off.
Ready to try again tomorrow.
Most of today was spent watching Netflix movies with Adoring Husband and playing with Harley between movies.
I cooked pork ribs and vegetable n haloumi shishkebabs for dinner.
I’m feeling incredibly tired and it is now 11.30pm.
I’m watching the movie “Smokey and the Bandit” on TV and remembering how my Dad loved this movie. I think he had a ‘thing’ for Sally Field.
Looking back I think he had a ‘type’. Evie Tornquist …
… and Sally Field …
They have very similar looks and they were both tiny in stature.
Interesting.
My day was similar to all my other days.
In the art room I began experimenting with gold leaf and some glue that I had in my drawer. BGWLBH has given me some special leaf glue to try tomorrow.
I slept on the couch for an hour … as usual.
Adoring Husband and I watched a couple of Netflix movies.
We all played trivia after dinner winning one each.
Harley has had the attention of all three of us at some stage today and we girls debugged the garden getting rid of caterpillars and grasshoppers and bad bugs.
Harley dived into the pool and then dived on ME! I was wearing my pyjamas at the time.
Time for sleeping now.
Nite all.
There is a line of storms coming from the south and crossing over us dumping some nice rain. I’m looking forward to finishing this post and falling asleep to the sound of rain on the roof.
I started my day with Harley in the pool area. We played for about 90 minutes until I was ready to play in the art space.
My motivation lasted for about 90 minutes and I had to wait for paint to dry properly before the next stage so this is how far I got with my dragonfly …
I slept on the couch - an afternoon nap has become a regular habit for me! I must be getting old!
Honey chilli chicken with salsa and sweet potato chips was dinner.
We watched a Netflix movie before bed.
Harley is sleeping soundly and I will be too, very shortly.
Nite all.
Three parcels arrived in the mail today.
I love mine because they are colourful (a bit of a 70s patchwork style) and comfortable.
We had a pleasant morning at the Lions Park with the girls. We hadn’t seen each other for 3 weeks so we had plenty to catch up on.
Harley was happy in the back of the trike and I took him for a long walk when we arrived, hoping to tire him out a bit so that he would sit and behave. He lasted for about an hour, then got restless. He happily rode home in the back of the trike again and then slept for most of the day.
Adoring Husband drove to pick up the FROG box.
BGWLBH did some art.
I napped on the couch because I think the trike ride against the wind tired me out!
Lamb chops with lamb rissoles with salad and sweet potato chips for dinner.
MAFS of course.
Suddenly, it’s almost 11pm! Harley is restless in bed tonight and not settling at all. I’ve taken him outside thinking he might need to toilet, but he just sat down on the ground beside me and did nothing. I don’t know what’s going on with him.
Weird.
Well, sleep time for me.
Nite all.
The art of letter writing.
I sent a letter writing pack to Chicklet for her birthday and asked if she would write to me. Tonight I decided to write to her first. I bought stickers today so that I could put stickers on the letter and envelope and I also found a little plastic card with lovely words about granddaughters, so I included that.
I’ll post it tomorrow morning.
My YouTube channel has about 6 videos of Harley on it and one of them has more than 100,000 views! How crazy is that!?
There are lots of comments under the video telling me how cruel I am for making him go into the pool to get his ball.
People are weird.
BGWLBH and I spent the day in The Bay.
While she was attending a Doctor’s appointment, I went to Tinkerbell’s where I put some jewellery on layby. It’s going to take a while to pay it off. I also purchased a birthday gift for BGWLBH and then on my third lap around the shop, I found some books, affirmation cards and a meditation journal.
I bet they rub their hands with glee when they see me coming.
There is a dress shop nearby that I popped into and tried a couple of tops on, but they didn’t quite sit right, so they remained in the shop.
Nana’s Pantry for antiinflammatea.
Office Works for white pens, paint brushes and sheets of stickers.
Spotlight for paint brushes, stickers, dot brushes and scrunchies.
Pet barn for liver treats.
Stocklands for bread, groceries, fresh fruit, lotto tickets and fresh juice.
It was quite late when we arrived home, so I set aside some time for Harley and he played fetch and swam in the pool for about 30 minutes.
I cooked butter chicken with rice and papadums for dinner.
Then MAFS was on the TV agenda.
It took me an hour to write Chicklet’s letter and now it’s rapidly approaching midnight so I’d best sleep.
Nite all.
There was no rain forecast for today but it has rained many times and currently, it is quite heavy.
Very annoying for Adoring Husband who was attempting to mow lawns.
I spent a couple of hours with Harley in the pool area, followed by an hour in the art room, followed by another hour IN the pool swimming and floating.
Tacos for lunch.
Dozing on the couch this afternoon.
No dinner. AH cooked himself some lamb loin chops on the barbecue and I put together a small salad for him. We girls were still full of tacos from lunch.
I watched the last Breaking Dawn movie this afternoon before watching MAFS.
That was my very ordinary day.
Nite all.
It’s 10.15pm and I’m so tired that I can barely keep my eyes open.
The usual things happened today. Playing with Harley. Playing in the art space. Watching football. Cooking.
Some art by BGWLBH …
She’s a clever little jelly bean!
I did some more of mine but I’m not pleased with the progress so I put it aside and will look with fresh eyes tomorrow.
Gosh I need to sleep.
Nite all.
