Good Morning TM, LDL and Fran. Sorry you're not well, Fran.
I was all set to go to church this morning (haven't been for weeks and weeks, life gets in the way) when the local doctor rang with a message for mother in law. We rang the hospital to talk to her. She's still in hospital, can't telephone us but we can call her, she's in because her heart began beating erratically on Tuesday night. She told us that her heart stopped completely last night. She's on a monitor, the nurse saw the trace go flat and rushed in. mother in law found herself being shaken awake and asked if she was OK. Apparently by then her heart had restarted itself. Then they checked - it had restarted itself back into NORMAL, the erratic heartbeat had fixed itself. easy child 2/difficult child 2 says proudly, "Grandma is a freak!"
By the time I got off the phone, it was too late for church. So I went to my supplies and melted out the wax to begin the candle for 2007 - it is lit for the first time on Easter Sunday. Pouring the candle, topping it up and digging out the cavitation took all day.
difficult child 3's German lesson - we had to finish the Black Forest cake he began yesterday. He did a good job (with a fair bit of help) and we just cut it tonight. Yum! I've got to download the photos so I can print them and send them to his teacher.
Terry, you asked about something I posted on Friday. I had mentioned that we were at a restaurant right next to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, where a small wooden cruiser was smashed to matchwood by a Sydney River Cat on Wednesday night. Three people were killed and they're still searching for a 14 year old girl. A second Sydney ferry was on the scene within minutes, pulling people to safety, but never a sign of the girl. We saw the search boats on Friday night, the divers would have been working below. Sydney Harbour is very deep (it's a drowned river valley). If she were alive she would have made it to shore, and those shorelines have been searched thoroughly. The search has continued night and day. But her father won't give up hope and the search still hasn't been called off. The police are not being permitted to say, "We've given up hope."
So, Terry - still no news. The search continues.
Tomorrow I'm getting X-rays to see if it's osteoarthritis that is making my life more interesting. Then easy child 2/difficult child 2 sees the surgeon for her post-appendectomy check-up. I'm hoping to drop in on mother in law after that and maybe get some shopping done. I'd like to get something I can use to paint the Easter candle this year, instead of the coloured wax I usually use. Last time I tried it, the stuff I bought had congealed in the jar and had to be thrown out. This time I'm opening the jars in the shop to check them first.
Gotta go, it's getting late and tomorrow is a big day.
Have a good Sunday, everyone.
Marg
