About Me
I am a Divorced Lady with two handsome and sweet sons. I've worked most of my adult life caring for others, as a Nurse. When I was young I was very athletic and healthy. I lost two babies in my twenty's. I experienced alot of very mentally painful abuse and physical abuse in the past. I should of died years ago from some of these experiences. This is what brought me here to DS. I could write a book about my life and all the hundreds of awful and good experiences. I've had life experiences few women have been through. Maybe I will share some of these things in my journals or Posts. Shell48

Hug
That is a good idea to do the trip in two days. Hopefully he will be able to work on the computer as well and see if he can clean it up and make it faster for you. Good that Bob has another day - the attitude of that place is not good after him going in on his days off to fill in for people and then to treat him like that? Well they are just plain not nice. Hope that he can find another better place to work. Don't worry about not getting on line while John is there, you will have a lot to do and you will want to spend time with him so just drop by if you can and feel like if to say hi. Just enjoy his visit - the rest can wait. Love and huggles, Marg

I am glad we have the freezer on the fridge we bought as it certainly does help and while it is not much being able to freeze these veg our of our garden is so nice as I do not know if they would keep long enough to use them here.
Today it is cooler and we have nice steady rain falling as I am writing this so I hope it will keep falling all night and again tomorrow. No more swimming for a while. Still it is early days. Sorry to hear about Bob's job - seems to me his boss was a user - it was fine for him to work extra days - on his days off when others quit but as soon as he needs a couple of days off sick he gets this sort of treatment. Disgusting. Hope that he will find another better job soon. Well a small celebration now and then might even be good as it will bring more meaning to next year when things are better.
Well I am going sit here and enjoy listening to the rain and the cool evening.
Love and huggles, Marg -

Thankfully the throat is better so it was just the dry aricon but has left me with a bit of asthma again - hopefully that will go soon. Your meals (apart from the ham and soup - way too hot for soup LOL and I don't eat ham) sound really good. The cold chicken, new potatoes and salad was great and I am hoping that it will cool down a bit tonight as I have a roast to cook. They are predicting storms and some rain (an inch maybe) tonight so that will be very welcome if it arrives. I know something is coming as the Arthur has started aching again. As I write there is thunder in the not too far distance and there is rain falling on the horizon so it is going to hit soon I think.
I am going to try my hand at freezing some of our veg for the fist time. We have heaps of broadbeans and there is not way that we can eat them all so I am going to try freezing some on Sunday and see how that works out - even if they are not much good for eating as a veg I can use them in soups and things. OK gotta go storm is almost here. Love and huggles. Marg -

Tonight we will have some of the leftover chicken with coleslaw I mad the other day and some new potatoes and tomatoes and cucumbers. tomorrow will be roast beef.
Your meal sounds really nice too I love onion and will roast some tomorrow.
Well we have left it too late to kill this year (it is too hot now) so we are planning on selling a couple of them and reducing the numbers - I think that in time we might end up with only a couple - maybe 4 or so as we really do not have enough feed for them here. I would like to look at getting something else to eat the grass down - we will look at that later though. Well it is a really hot day so I am heading out to do some chores and then swim. I have a bit of a sore throat - from the air con I think and will take something for that and hope that it gets better. Love and huggles, Marg -
Thanks
Yes it was a good day - but I have started to get a headache - probably from being in the air-conditioning in the theatre. We got home late as I knew we would. I did buy a couple of BBQ chickens ($15 for two very large ones), some veg sticks and ice-creams for our dinner. Delicious as I only had to put one of the chickens in the oven with the veg sticks and that was the meal. Glad that Bob and Christine are getting along so well and yes it would be nice if they did fall in love get married and present you with a couple of grands to spoil. Tomorrow is our first extreme fire day so I will be doing as little as possible. I have the water in the fridge and we will have cold chicken and salad - glad I bought the second one. LOL Love and huggles, Marg
