Winter

Winter has slowly made it’s presence known here in Perth, am I happy ? No. After living in Wellington New Zealand(one of the 3 windiest cities in the world along with Chicago and Perth) for 8 winters I can honestly say I am not a winter person at all. We have had some rain, however after last year’s driest winters on record we need a very wet , wet winter to help Perth’s water shortage. It is the wind I loathe, here in Perth it seems to blast its way making our rather temperate winter very cool – I keep saying I need to fly north to the warmer climes…I wish. We are very lucky that our winter lasts the 3 calendar months it is given…then spring comes with so much warmth and colour – I can’t wait !

Physically I am getting stronger after my nasty accident in which I am happy to announce that the Motor Vehicle Accident Insurance Commission has accepted liability, which means I will be getting compensation which is wonderful, however nothing can take back the pain, the forced sick leave, the problems that my daughters have been through etc. to be honest I am glad to be alive.

I do have to say without dear , dear friends my recovery would have been much longer, they know who they are and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. I hope to return to full time work very soon.
