Morena everyone, I hope you have a good day..
It's been a busy year this year, and there seems to have been quite a few health issues to deal with along the way, that saw me spend most of the day sleeping yesterday, to many 4.00 a.m. starts and midnight finishes catch up with the best of us I guess, luckily I feel a little better for the extra sleep, another lazy day would be good though, there's chores to be done today unfortunately, I will stop for a poppa nap after lunch though..

I've decided I don't like christmas, it brings a lot of extra work and expense, the only reward I get is knowing the grandchildren are happy which I guess is what he season is all about, pity it costs so much these days though eh.. Bring on the boxing day sales, if there's any spare money left, lol..

After several hold ups starting at 7.45 a.m. I'm finally online, it's now 10.40 a.m.. Oh for a quiet life.. One interruption was for a maintenance job I've been trying to get done for over 10 years so I shouldn't moan about that to much seeing it's now fixed at long last..

I'd like a restart of this week, it seems every time I've sat down to get online real life has got in the way and folk have constantly interrupted me, the upside is that one maintenance job I've been trying to get done for over 10 years was finally done yesterday morning, it pays to be persistent sometimes, even if doing so gets repetative and really annoying..

It was a little hot to sleep well last night, we had a 38 degree high yesterday, it was still 30 degrees at 1.00 a.m. this morning.. We're at the end of the third week of water restrictions now, I doubt it'll be to long before we have a total fire ban in place too, that'll mean no barbecues for christmas.. Hopefully it'll either cool down or rain soon to stop things drying out any further..
I feel for the Aussies though, they've had a good 2 years of droughts, now they have loads of bushfires around the country, some of the smoke from the Sydney bushfires is heading this way apparently, a lot of our firefighters are over there helping to try and control the fires, hopefully they get them under control soon..

Another sunday closer to christmas and I'm almost caught up on my cards at last, I'll have to wait until tuesday to post them as I've run out of stamps and money until then.. Hopefully today will be a quiet and lazy day once the washings finished, then I can have a poppa nap after lunch and give my broken eyes a rest..

I'm a bit late getting on this morning, my 6 year old washing machine keeps stopping for no reason, so I keep having to get it restarted again at the point it stopped, a real hassle when it's all buttons, I hope the new one arrives today, I know it's in town, the people just have to get it delivered and set up which I hope is soon..

I'm a bit late this morning, the shopping's done, bills are paid and the new washing machine has arrived at last though, this washer is a bit bigger so I'll be able to get the duvet washed properly now which is good.. Methinks I need a poppa nap after lunch now..

I'm feeling a bit tired this morning after running round like a headless chook all day yesterday luckily I've almost caught up on things now so today will be a lazy day I think.. Christmas can be a busy time when one has a big family, my mother bless her remarried years ago, so I inherited a lot more family, it's nice having them, but it does mean a lot more to do..

It's update time here, the updates for the desktop downloaded at dinner time last night so it looks like the 2 laptops will get done today just in case, I was hoping for a lazy day today too, at least I won't be bored..

Ten more days and christmas will be on us, it feels like last christmas only finished a few short months ago and its upon us again.. I missed seeing my grandchildren last time, so I hope I get to see them this year even if only briefly..

Well, the shoppings done for another week and the chemist was visited for repeats on some of my meds, hopefully next week I'll only have to get a few things like bread and milk to see me through now.. I was thinking the shop would be crowded out this morning, looks like next week will be the crazy week, all the shops shut for one day so everyone shops like they'll never open again, gotta hate shopping when it's like that..

My apologies for not being on as much of late, between christmas approaching all to fast and my eyesight playing up I haven't been doing as much as I'd like, hopefully in the new year my doctor will get to the cause of my eyesight problems and I can proceed to hopefully getting them fixed.. I've got the screen magnified up to 200% and am still having trouble seeing things, it's a little worrying seeing I'm diabetic..
Only 5 more days and we're into christmas day, it feels like last christmas was only 3 or 4 short months ago, this year seems to have passed far to fast for mu liking.. At least we get more barbecues and time at the beach, that's always good..

Only 3 more days and the days upon us again, I hope everyone has good plans for the day and will be having good times with family and friends, all the eating to much and getting lots of pressies and catching up on all the family goings on over the past year, family and friends is what this time of year is all about, so I hope we can all make the most of it and enjoy the time together..

It seems really strange having to have a heater and jerseys on in summer, the electric blanket went on last night too, we should have nice settled weather now with temps in the 30's during the day and in the low mid 20's overnight, I hope things improve for christmas day or the barbecue won't be to much fun.. The poor Aussies are suffering heatwaves and out of control bushfires while we're getting flooding in the south island and cooler weather rond the whole coubtry, our rain would've really helped over in Aussie at present..

Two days to go and it's christmas and my shopping's still not finished, I;ve still got to get a few pressies, a few cards haven't been posted and I still need a few things from the shops like milk and bread, it looks like tomorrow will be a last minute rush seeing my pays not in the bank until late tonight, oh the joys of the silly season, lol..

I thought I'd miss the chaos in the shops by being there at just after 8.00 a,m. unfortunately a load of other people had the same idea, at least I was there early enough to get what I wanted before it all disappeared off the shelves, if I'd held off for 2 hours things like bread and milk would've gone, or run out, the shops are shut one day and folk seem to shop like the shops will never reopen on boxing day, some of the orders I saw were huge too, the person ahead of me at the checkout spent about $2000 and had 3 trlleys over full of vshopping, this old man is exhausted after trying to get round the shop for my few things and then getting through the checkout, it's poppa nap time after lunch I think..
The good thing is that I can blob out for christmas day now and just sleep and eat all day seeing no ones coming to see me or take me anywhere, I'm looking forward to it now..

I hope everyone has a great christmas day today, our day's some 10 hours old now and it's been a quiet peaceful day so far, I've opened all my pressies of course and had fun doing it, the folk that give me gifts alwats put some thought into it and manage to get things I'd like and will use which is good, better for them the things I wanted weren't overly expensive, I feel a little guilty if folk spend to much on pressies for me especially if they don't earn a lot of money.. I can now blob out and be really lazy today, after having eaten to much of course, lol..
