matina, cool and rainy today . . . but with beautiful red and orange leaves all around the house. Have the fire going already. Fed the fuzzies and birds. Now waiting for a firewood delivery. Hope you're OK.

Katy, I'm still waiting for that phone call. My son texted me and just all that all was OK. So glad to hear that your new coffee machine is working well! Am going to schedule a meeting with my bushwalking friend this week, to have cappuccino at either Katoomba or Leura. Haven't seen him for a while.

Today is a day to stay inside, in front of the fire!



UPDATE: Firewood delivered!

[matina]

HELLO ALL!
PJ fire wood they are wonderful fires but i just cant be bothered with the lugging in the wood and then cleaning it all up afterward we have a gas massport heater which we hardly use as we like it cold we use blankets on the couch. but having said that all our doors are open day and night we love the fresh breeze. the only time our doors close are during summer with the airconditioner on lol no doubt your shaking in your boots now.
I hope your granddaughter is ok keep us updated it has been a while now since her original injury i do worry, very concerning.
KATHY I hope hubby's appointments go well, mum's eye appointment went well and whilst there i did ask the optometrist to check my eye if she could she says it has healed nicely but to be cautious for up to 6 months as cornea injuries can reopen if the eye dries out at night causing it to tear again so i was given some ointment names to keep the eye lubricated at night and use some refresh drops on a regular basis. I didn't think it would be an issue for so long its rare but it can happen i guess i did a better job than i first thought;-?
we had lunch at my aunties as she baby sat Yogi they get along so well its so cute, we came home and we painted our red Easter eggs ready for our Easter.
Tomorrow after the cleaner comes we are off to do Satan duty and visiting my aunty to drop off Easter goodies to her too then going past my cousins place to drop off her a plate of goodies as she bought up her famous carrot cake for mum's birthday, then coming home again.
be safe everyone and god bless and be with you all
WOLF OUT!

matina and Katy, sorry to be so late today. I don't know what happened. I actually thought I'd already posted. Took a little walk and took more photos of autumn leaves. Arranged to see my bushwalking friend tomorrow when I'm over at Katoomba to see my GP. Will hear how much walking he's doing these days. Texted him today while he was on the phone. Will write more later.

Hello

Morning matina and Pj were going to Costco to buy bulk my daughter and I split a lot of things it helps us and we freeze a lot of stuff plus I like to wonder around they have scooters too Pj how is your friend any new adventures for him very rainy cold saw a few cockatoos out in the farmland i told them Pj's buffet in the mountains is what you want anyhoo time to go have a good day both of you bless

[pjmpjm]

matina, I hope all your errands and visits go well today. Sending lots of good wishes. Take care!

Katy, yes, they all turned up here this morning and had to be fed twice. I told them to go over to the golf course, but they said it was too rainy! Wish there was a Costco here in the mountains. As it is, it's too far a drive. My friend's knee is much better but he doesn't dare to take long walks. He thinks he might get stranded in the bush. I cautioned him to ring me or another friend before he sets out on any expeditions.

9 degrees and rainy here. Getting to be like winter. Lots of beautiful leaves everywhere.

[matina]

HELLO ALL!
PJ yes your friend had better be careful out and about in the bush with a crook knee ;-( So glad the cockies had a good feed and all my errands went well i got a nice compliment from the manager of the bank that i am doing an excellent job with dads finances. it is nice to know that people notice even if Satan never will ;-(
do you not have any friends who shop at costco that could help you out by picking up a few things for you??
KATHY yes buying in bulk is the way to go if one can afford it and splitting it up in half is always an extra bonus. cooking in big batches and freezing it is always good too it saves on power too.
well it has been a long day time to think on dinner some spring rolls and pasties will be on the menu it is our good Friday. I would love to go to the Easter service tonight but after all the attacks lately on religious events mother and i don't dare venture out at night,sad indeed ;-(
be safe take care and god bless and be with you all
WOLF OUT!

[pjmpjm]

Good night, everyone . . .

[kathlyn]

Hey everyone

Matina we only do a Costco shop in place of a normal grocery shop it costs less because you get bulk like 60 rolls toilet paper for $10 where was Costco when there was a tp shortage We only buy things like milk bread etc during the week even my coffee capsules are cheaper cause we split them with my daughter we only ever do a Woollies shop when we run out of stuff Hi Pj atleast your friend is responsible when heading out bush he sounds like he's knows his limits but still goes and enjoys his walks good on him not like some silly tourists who think they can handle the bushwalk is rishi under the covers best place in the world I say but I'm off out with the girls of the family my granddaughter wants to browse some new and used bookshops I'll just sit and people watch while they look enjoy your day all.the best take care everyone hugs all

[pjmpjm]

Autumn continues!

matina, here's the latest view from my kitchen window, over my back deck. Such beautiful autumn leaves everywhere. Sitting in my recliner at present, watching the gray mist drift through the trees. A couple of tourists walked by but there aren't many out and about on such a cold and gray and rainy day. Keen young bushwalkers! Rishi is behind me, watching the world through the window. Fire going already. I have such nice hardwood now. Hope you'll have a good Saturday.

Katy, I signed up for the Woolworth's 'Rewards Extra' program which gives me 10% once a month. So I do a big shop on that one day. I also bought a 'Seniors' free delivery plan, which I costed out and see that it saves me money. So for the price of an extra few dollars every month, I save $30-40 or even more . . . so it's worth it. I rarely go out to Woolies in person any longer, through it's next to the PO and right across from the chemist. I now know that if the PO is closed I can still withdraw cash from the Woolies service desk, free of charge, and not have to drive to the nearest ATM in Katoomba (though that's very close). So I'm always on the alert for savings! Hope you've had a happy outing today with your girls. Take care!

HELLO EVERYONE
i came back from my trip but i havent been active much. the weather is beautiful (hottt but also windy) so i've been hanging with my friends from morning to late night. Hope everyone is having a lovely spring!
