[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 23120, member: 1991"] Marg's Man here starting our Friday post. For me this has been the week from H***. Work has been piling up, I've got crook elbows that stop me sleeping properly, there's just been more than I can do by myself and I discovered today that the clowns renovating the fourth floor of our building had left a waste skip across the only disabled access to our building. I was NOT happy as I levered it out of the way (using their crowbars they had left lying around) so a young man in a Stephen Hawking type wheelchair could get in. Then I went upstairs to the builders and 'had a word or three' with them. Thank goodness my storeman gets back from leave next week. And it's been muggy. (I think Aussies are the only ones to use that word - basically it means hot and VERY humid). I think you get similar weather when you are down on the coast, Fran during the hurricane season. difficult child/easy child 2 had the day off work and helped Marg around the house a bit. difficult child 3 worked on a PowerPoint project he has. He's not very familiar with the programme so Dad will be helping with that tomorrow while Marg goes with difficult child/easy child 2 for an ultrasound. Maybe we will work why she is so listless so much; when she isn't bouncing off the walls. OK, Marg here having finally wrested the computer from husband. (Alright, I had to drag myself away from a late night screening, uncut, of "Silence of the Lambs"). My bet for easy child 2/difficult child 2 - I think it's going to turn out to be a grumbling appendix. It tends to run in my family. I had my appendix taken out when I was 18, after several months of misery. One sister was 15. Another was 23. My aunt was 23, although she died from post-op complications plus lack of antibiotics (WWII). difficult child 3 & I finally got to the beach this arvo. Water temp - got to be 24 C at least. And so clear, I could see to the bottom in three metres of water - thought I could see a stingray on the bottom so I moved a bit further away just in case. It was a good reminder about this tiny beach - it has high houses overlooking it, as well as nearby rock platforms, all offering a good view of the water and who's in it. I middle-aged friend of mine was swimming there with her grandchildren, and because this beach is so turbulent she got her swimsuit full of sand (like I did today, just trying to wade in, and getting hit with the backwash meeting oncoming waves). So she swam out deep, took off her swimsuit while staying low in the water, rinsed out her swimsuit, put it back on and then left the water, sure that nobody would have known. But of course, she hadn't realised that from the balconies and the rock platforms the clear water past the breakers is VERY clear. She left to a round of applause. Even though it was late afternoon (5 pm) I managed to get a bit of sun colour (strap marks are back). It's far from burn but it means we still need to be very careful of our sun for a few months more. And tomorrow is a sunny, hot day, with no major chores (apart from difficult child 3's schoolwork, which husband is going to help him with while I'm out). Oh, bliss! More beach, even if we have to wait until late afternoon when husband & easy child 2/difficult child 2 are safe from the sun. Have a good Friday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
