What have you been doing today?

[K Atie]

Washed DD white denim skirt ! Went with GF to local pool to do an hour of moving in the water , helping my shoulder and feel great after. Cannot help myself as i have a quick warm shower at home after.

Marina, that sounds fantastic.
Mab, well done. Only good thing about a hot day is how quickly the washing dries.
To start the year off, Probus have a picnic in the Park. Somewhere near the lake. Hope I can find it. We take our own lunch. I’m taking a curried egg and lettuce sandwich. I made a loaf of potato bread with added sesame seeds.
Yesterday went  plant shopping with DD and GD. I bought lots of veggie seedlings. Then found a new cafe to have lunch.

So good when you find a new place to eat Chookie . Cooked cleaned and went for an afternoon swim at local pool with GF . To cool down so much that I need a shower to warm up !! Crazy , but also I can’t sleep with sunscreen on.

Katie every time I went swimming or fishing I always had to shower the sun cream off.

Today I spent the day trying to keep cool. 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

Hot one today. Minding boys so not much cooking. Could make non cooked carrot health balls.

Whoopee. We seem to be back on deck. Judy and I won’t have to keep chasing MM
I hope everyone is well and surviving whatever weather is being thrown at you.

Thank you Cookie and Judy . All well here . It’s about to get warm for the next few days . Yet again the Grampians are on fire , so sad .

Welcome back everyone, that was a long one!  Thanks cookie for your continual chasing up emails, it finally paid off.

Good to see we are back up and running again.  It has been so long since it went down that I had just about given up on the forum.  So happy to be in touch with everyone again.

Thanks Cookie and Judy. Did miss everyone.
We are in for a 4 day heatwave. I’ll be staying inside and cleaning up my Blog as well as sorting out stuff for the op shop. I’m still finding it difficult to let stuff go.

Don't force yourself, Chookie - everything has its own time and you will relax when you feel the time is right and you are ready to let it go ... small steps - don't push it.

A very warm day , wind is getting up . Last night was eerie and we went for a very late night drive just down the road to see the mountains all red again , but over the ridge this time . Still the huge red glow was not good . Today we are moving sheep ready for shearing later next week . Hardly any water in the tanks so hopefully DH will change to town water . Had a whole plan to do all washing etc this am but with no water I have to wait .

It's good to have the forum back up again.  Thank you Cookie and Judy.

While the forum was down I washed curtains and then shortened some.  Washed all the bedding and linens including blankets & doonas.  Washed windows and spent time sorting cupboards and clothing.

Chookie, take your time. You will know when it is a good day to do these sorts of jobs. ❌❌❌❌

This hot weather is wearing me out. Chookie you are wise to stay inside. We are having a few 33/34° days and then it’s back to 39/40°. They are horrible. I seem to have an afternoon sleep on those days.

Back to Tai Chi and Probus Mah Jong today. It’s going to be hot but both places have A/C so should be ok.
