Decluttering

The Decluttering bug has hit me! I spent monday going through all my clothes getting rid of anything past it's used by date or that I haven't worn in over 12 months. I have been a tight wad and most of what went was very do and worn and that was why I hadn't used it. But I keeps it just in case. In case of what I'd like to know! There was nothing good enough to give to charity so it wall got taken to the shed to be used as rags. But it's good to know that I didn't spend money on something just to have it sit in the wardrobe, I'm a good girl like that, I buy something and wear the hell out of it! Now I have two whole draws empty so I can buy some new things to wear. I did purchase a new long grey skirt and a black long cardy last week both were only $10.00. Bargain! I wear lots of long cardies and black is very versatile so maybe I should of got two for that price. Oh well I'm a great bargain hunter so I'm sure I'll find something at the right price. Decluttering sure makes you feel good. Oh yeah since going on my new diet, the one my body wants according to the kinesiologist I have lost 6 kilos. My energy levels haven't improved greatly and I still have days of great pain but my recent liver function test shows an improvement so with the wight loss it's been positive See ya

Lest we forget

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRqMMaCZfHI


They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

It's raining

Its raining it's pouring the old man is snoring!.... I used to sing this song when I was little. That's the sort of day it. Is today. The rain is coming down and it turned cold. A perfect day to snuggle in bed. But I'm home all alone. I have quilting today and that is the only reason I don't get back under the Doona and just listen to the rain. Now if I can work out how to get me and the sewing machine in and out of the car without having a shower that will be great! See ya

Awakenings

I feel like I have been living half asleep. I feel as though the world has been there but not in my reality. I feel as though I have been in this world but not of it. And it has been good, But now I am refreshed and need to return because I know I have work to do. It will be shown to me in time, when the universe thinks is right.

This is a photo of a golden eagle hunter, our new toy! This isn't ours, ours isn't built yet.
We hare hoping to get ours in mid June and if we do we are going on a trip around the Australia!!
Not all the way around, we are going West till Adelaide then going up north to do central Aust, all the way to Katherine and then on to Broom and down the west coast the across the bottom and back home. So I will be pestering the caravan comp so the van is finished in time.
I am very excited!  We are taking a month and although many have said it isn't enough time, its good to whet the appetite and if there is anyplace we want to spend more time at we will go again. Once we get the van we will do more travelling. its been our dream that once the kids are off our hands that we would travel this great country of ours.
So whose coming along on our travels via your computer?

So tired

Its 2am and the weekend has been a busy one. Had baby girls 21st BBQ and greek Easter here yesterday. I spent all day saturday cooking and cleaning. Sundaynwad all go go go.

I have two adult children who I will always be there for but as adults they now run there own lives. I am very happy about this as I am ready to start living my life and follow my dreams. As soon as I figure out what those dreams are I'll let you know. Lol See ya

Happy Easter

It's Easter Monday here and winter has come to devon meadows. As I type our fire is going and a pot of homegrown pulling soup is bubbling away. I hope you all had a happy Easter, our was quiet as greek Easter is next week. It's going to be a big one as its my baby's 21st birthday this week and we are having a huge BBQ lunch for her. So it will be a traditional geek lamb on the spit and lots of other yummy food. We have been cleaning up the yard and weeding and have enven had about 5 huge trees cut down to allow the winter sun to hit our solar panels. It's all good as the trees were very old gum trees that were hit hard by the drought and we I danger of coming down in a big storm. Which. Y the way we had last night! A house in the next street has one their trees come down on their car, not nice! I am going to buy a new laptop as my old one has been very annoying and this is one of the reasons I haven't been around much lately. I'm typing this on my iPad but I can't load photos from it onto my blog. So it hasnt been much help really. So as soon as I get the new toy I will post a little more often, I have some exciting news to tell you but you will have to wait till I next blog, gotta go now. Enjoy your holiday and take care.
