Seems like with our daylight saving geared the opposite to you guys, I'll be doing this more often - starting the morning thread.
A quiet day today - I woke feeling awful after a bad night, I'm still not in great shape. Mind you, I was up late last night watching "Quills" - not seen it before, a brilliant film starring Geoffrey Rush as the Marquis de Sade. Awful, compelling - not a nice character but brilliantly done.
Missed church today - just feeling too unwell. We did get out later, visited difficult child 3's therapist to see if a fold-out divan her friend had would do for easy child 2/difficult child 2 & BF2. We had a lovely time chatting for a few hours then reluctantly attended to the errand. husband & I again confirmed why we chose our village instead of this neighbouring one - you have to be a mountain goat to climb those stairs! And I again discovered that after Monday night I am far from as capable physically as I should be, I could barely walk for the rest of the afternoon. And I didn't even help manouevre the divan down the goat path - our friend's husband helped husband.
Tomorrow I have to give a speech at an awards presentation for a childrens' writing competition (I was one of the judges). Then I'm seeing my GP and will talk to her about my recalcitrant neurologist - he STILL hasn't rung me. A lot of classic Aussie-only sayings rise to mind, but they would either be censored here or not understood. So you'll have to just use your imaginations.
Daisy the budgie (aka budgerigar, or parakeet) is now happy every day sitting on top of her cage. We think we know why she taught herself to escape - I found a cockroach as big as she is, living under the bottom of her cage. I caught it and dropped it in the bin, where it would have happily remained even after the bin bag was tied up and placed outside for collection. But still, she's learnt this skill and escape she will, constantly. We just insist on her sleeping inside the cage. Otherwise, she can do as she pleases.
Enjoy your Sunday, everyone.
