Sorry I haven't Been Around!!
Hi Everyone,
Remember me
I'm so sorry I haven't been around! I had been feeling really well and things got very busy over the Festive Season, we moved house 3 weeks before Christmas, my children then started 7 weeks holiday from school on the 12 December and have only just gone back so that has kept me quite busy too! We had a lovely Christmas and summer then hit with a vengeance we have just had a week and a half of extremely hot weather ranging from 97F to 111F (thankgod for the swimming pool!), which is out of character for us because we are at the bottom of Australia we normally have much milder summer days, we are expecting a cool change on Saturday and boy am I looking forward to that! Last week we had 3 consecutive days of 111F and because of my aversion to the sun I didn't step outside of the house and I started to go a bit stir crazy , thankfully the temp dropped by 10 degrees and I was able to venture outside again. On a happier note we had a week long holiday at a place called Halls Gap (about 2 1/2 hrs drive from here) which is in the middle of the Grampians National Park, we had wonderful weather and were woken each morning by the Kookaburra's laugh and had guests for dinner each night in the shape of Kangaroos, they are so tame that they think nothing of hopping into the middle of a Holiday Resort for a feed! A week certainly was not long enough!
On the down side I have been experiencing a bit more pain than usual over the last week, which I suspect is from getting too much sun while on Holidays, I'm hoping if I ignore it long enough it will just go away!!!
I hope everyone is well and not suffering too much from the cold weather I know you have all been having over there. I promise to be around a lot more now that things have settled down and I have more time to myself!!
Also Welcome to Elisabeth I'm glad you found us!
Take Care
Love and Hugs

Hi Maz:
Welcome back! We missed you!
So glad to hear that you are feeling better and had a great Holiday. It's strange that you are experiencing a heat wave while we are in the midst of winter.
It's great to know you are doing well. Good to have you back.

Hi Maz,
Welcome back!!!! I did see a brief news clip this week about the heat there and I think there was also water problems. Our summers sometimes get over 100 degrees and it is just unbearable. All you can do is stay in and be cool. I'm glad to hear you had a wonderful Christmas and holiday. Kids getting a 7 wk. holiday - is that their summer vacation from school? Anyway you're brave for sharing your holiday with the critters - I freak if I see a worm out of its hole!! (lol)
I hope your pain is gone soon. Sometimes we need a holiday from the holiday. It's great to have you back here!!
