G'day, folks.
Sharon/WO, could there be a connection with watching horror movies, and having such a disrupted night of sleep that you remember your dreams in such vivid detail? Just a thought...
TM, could Duckie's asthma attack be connected to your cleaning? husband gets very congested when we stir up the dust for any reason. Also, re her attending the game - bundling her up is less of an issue, than considering the qualitiy of the air she would be breathing. For example in our post-recovery from whooping cough, husband & I are both finding that breathing cold air is making it a lot worse. My mother's asthma was always made worse with cold dry air.
We are now back from the western satellite city with its historic sandstone buildings. easy child 2/difficult child 2's wedding went off brilliantly apart from a hitch with one of the wedding rings - I missed part of the service, as did husband in turn, while we went off searching the cars for it while the celebrant stalled for time and ad-libbed.
easy child 2/difficult child 2 looked fabulous, the dress looked better on her than it does on the model in the catalogue. The flowergirl never had her afternoon nap but still partied on the dance floor with the bride (easy child 2/difficult child 2 and her mini-me) until it was time for the bridal couple to go change.
I am so proud of her and her HUSBAND (I have to go change my sig now) with the way they planned every little detail, including such things as needing to have their luggage packed and organised for the honeymoon including fussing about what to NOT put in the cabin luggage). So many things, all falling into place. And even when things went wrong (such as losing her job) she stayed on top of things and did not fall apart as she would have in the past. If this keeps up she may have to lose the difficult child tag...
I'll post a link to some photos when they become available. The photographer handed difficult child 3 a (very expensive) "backup" camera and told him to go crazy taking photos. I don't think he expected much, especially since you just about needed a pilot's licence to drive the thing, but he was so impressed with difficult child 3's photos he said he will give him some money for every copy ordered, of the ones he took. He also said he wants him to be his assistant for a day (paid). We have known for a while that difficult child 3 is a talented photographer; we didn't think he was that good yet.
Today we have been recovering (and travelling back home). Tonight we had a surprise 21st birthday for one of husband's nieces (she and her younger sister did a highland dance for the wedding). We were at mother in law's for it, easy child & SIL1 plus difficult child 1 & daughter in law were there too. easy child& SIL1 are staying tonight then heading home to Canberra in the morning.
Everyone seems to be coughing and/or wheezing. People are blaming the aftermath of the dust storm.
Tomorrow husband & I are gonig for an all-day steam train ride - the Cockatoo Run. It's our 'first date' anniversary too, which was on a steam train 35 years ago. We are bringing difficult child 3 with us but we'll still be able to have a romantic time, difficult child 3 won't cramp our style.
The lovely sunny weather we've been having vanished on the morning of the wedding - it rained on and off from mid-afternoon and is still going to continue tomorrow. However, the Cockatoo Run takes us to the Southern Highlands which are beautiful even in the rain (a very wild European feel to the area) but also may actually be drier than the coast.
Enjoy your Sunday!
