[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 83371, member: 1991"] G'day, all. Very late today - it's right on Saturday here now, by a matter of seconds. We had a group working bee at our place today, even BF2 pitched in willingly. Three trees which should have come down a year ago, "accidentally" blew down in the strong winds (nonexistent today) - it's quicker than renewing our permit. Besides, the trees were dead, we only needed to lean against them. I cleaned out the fishpond and weeded the front garden, husband chainsawed up the extra firewood, I finally got the fire lit this evening and just checked it - it was out before midnight, the fire ban has just kicked in again. The dog-sitting adventure is now over, the owners picked up their dog tonight. I got to the beach this arvo with difficult child 3. I was fairly tired by this evening while preparing dinner then easy child 2/difficult child 2 arrived home, showing her difficult child side indeed and I finally snapped when she told me to "shut up" because I interrupted her - which I did, but I needed to sort out information fast, and not have her spend ages circumlocuting to the point as she always does. So I've been avoiding her all evening, for fear I'll say something to set her off again, which I wouldn't tolerate. I really wish her doctor could see her like this - she won't survive in the big bad world if she treats people like this and expects people to always give her time to speak, without interrupting her to get her to the point. And of course, by morning she will have 'forgotten' all about it and learned nothing (and still be holding to the view that she is entirely in the right and I am entirely in the wrong - and she will then go through life always doing this to other people, and never learning). Honestly, if she had two heads I'd bang them together! Apart from that, we had a good Friday. I hope yours is good too. Marg [/QUOTE]
