25 years….
Today is 25 years since I stepped on Australian soil, a long time but a well loved time…and my thoughts ? Australia is a great place , especially my beloved Perth, it is beautiful, pristine, quiet, clean,old fashioned, boring (the press) , small, great to bring up children, fantastic beaches, parks , lakes , bush, …………I love living here…
Time heals …
During my hiatus, I was in a nasty car accident, a very idiotic person decided to run a red light, sadly for my I ended up with a lot of pain…fractured fibula and a fractured sternum , 4 months down the track I am still suffering, ohhh and by the way the other driver never got a scratch..and he is yet to accept liability. It would be nice if he did, then I would be able to live like a normal person, instead of wondering where the next lot of money is coming from.
Thankfully dear friends of mine, bought a car for me, so I could return to work , another precious friend helped me out with my rent and other bills, they are amazing angels, life would be very hard to comprehend if I didn’t have a car and a roof over my head.
I am now working 5 hours a day 3 days a week, starting next week, I asked my doctor to let me work 6 hours a day 4 days a week, not because I want to but because I have to…I need wages, I am not sure how I will go , however it is for under review by my doctor and if I find it too hard I will go back to the 5 hours a day..3 days a week…I need a roof over my head ie: rent and so this why the huge increase of hours.
I am lucky , very lucky to be alive, have all my faculties and I am getting better , I have been to my lakes to take photos and in the next few days I will be uploading photos of my visits…it has been a long hot summer, I have loved it, however being in hospital for 18 days 5 weeks convalescing I missed a lot of it…I am looking forward to next year when I can enjoy life a lot more.

Missing, but have found my way back
I have decided to give my blog another go, try once a week and see how I go…
Since I last visited a lot has happened, one incredible , precious and amazing thing happened, I became a Grandmoo…(grandmother) to Nicholas, or Nicky…my darling Jade gave birth on the 20/10/2010 to a wonderful healthy boy, 8lbs 30z in the old weight and very healthy, I was fortunate to be asked to be Jade’s birthing partner, which was a wonderful experience to say the least…I was able to cut the cord too…so special for a grandparent to be able to do. Sadly the father, didn’t want to have any part of it, sat in a corner and distanced himself away from all the action, even when it came to holding his son, he had to be forced to hold his son…sad for all…however, Jade has done an amazing job at being a mom, I am proud of her and as Nicky goes, being a Granmoo, it is the best thing that has ever happened to me…
Nicky a few minutes old
A precious time
Superman
One word….Happy !!
