[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 69440, member: 1991"] G'day, friends. Linda, you need your rest right now. I'm glad you're getting some. Enjoy the peace. Kjs, you sound like you needed the sleep too. I sometimes used to go for a walk in the middle of the night, if I couldn't sleep. Sometimes I'd take pencil & paper, and sit and write while watching the sun rise over the ocean, while sitting at the lookout. Very therapeutic. Niece arrived from Perth this morning. We took her down to the mini-train track - she's never been there - then left early, using my health as an excuse, to have a look at a medieval fair we'd seen advertised. It was woeful. They charged us $10 a head to go in, for a total of about 12 allegedly medieval-themed stalls which included a Turkish Gozleme stall (NOT medieval!), a Mr Whippy truck, a fast food stall and a lemonade stand. Oh, and a stall selling trashy plastic jewellery (also definitely not medieval). There was a display of redcoats and early guns, as well as some swords, but these were fairly ghastly, poor quality imitations. Muddy underfoot, smelling of sheep - at least THAT was authentic! There was supposed to be jousting on horseback, but we have a really serious outbreak of equine flu at the moment, it's stopped all movement of horses in the country and could kill this year's Spring Racing Carnival, including Melbourne Cup Day! All race meets in the country have been cancelled until further notice - really bad news. And to cancel the Cup - it's like cancelling the Kentucky Derby! Worse! It's known as the race that stops the nation. So no horses, no jousting. They had cut the entry fee to $10 from $15, due to the lack of horses. As it was, we had looked at everything thoroughly in half an hour. Pretty poor value. I'm still fighting my bladder infection, plus I feel like I've got a horse-sized dose of flu myself. And the GP said my last test result is not good - I could have diabetes. I'm hoping to get a blood test somewhere, tomorrow. I might get them to listen to my chest while they're at it. Fed up with feeling sick! Enjoy your Sunday. [/QUOTE]
