[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 173020, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. Sue, sounds like Wee is still having a good time, even if he's decided it's not a career path. Sharon/Wiped, you bought a Wii - they ARE fun, aren't they? We've got difficult child 1's in the house as well as the family one. Until two weeks ago, we also had BF2's Wii, so the house was really getting full of people pounding away playing various games or getting fit. Smallworld, I hope "Charlie" goes off well. I've found that acting has really helped difficult child 3's confidence a great deal. Linda, I wondered where you were and hoped you were resting. I hope the medication tweaks settle down and work out, to save you a long trip. We had a very cold day today. I've been wearing thermals plus layers of thick shirts and jumpers, still feeling cold. I finally gave up and dug out my down jacket. I still have a few more layers I could add, such as scarf, beanie with ear flaps and gloves. I've been sleeping with gloves on, but I'm managing OK during the day. And all of this is indoors - I feel the cold. The heater is on but hasn't been able to warm the whole house, we only warm the living room area. The computer is in the cold part of the house. It's been snowing to the west of Sydney, in the Blue Mountains. More snow is forecast until Sunday. It would be a three hour drive for us to get there, and the snow is ephemeral there. It IS school holidays, and I know there will be people driving their kids there just so they can see snow. Most Aussie kids don't know what snow is like unless they travel to see it. I saw my first snow when I was 16, but I didn't see snow falling until 2000, when difficult child 3 had a school excursion to the Blue Mountains at this time of year, on a day like today. And it snowed as we were coming back in the bus. I saw it piling up on the wipers, but there was so little of it most of it was melting as it landed. By the time we got home the news was full of road closures in the mountains, closed due to snow. Two hours later it had all melted. I'm really not good in the cold! Marg [/QUOTE]
