the wind is really picking up and we even have warnings going on the internet saying not to got out unless it really necessary.
think we'll have lunch on campus today.
Very quiet here.
Michael rang last night and told us he was going up to png next week. Truly wish he wasn't, hopefully all will be ok.
Carol got stuff on ebay but it hasn't sold as yet so fingers crossed for her it will sell. She doesn't need the stuff so may as well get rid of it.
Next week I'm having Friday off and we're going down towards Gippsland to try the caravan out in preparation for our trip to Mt Isa at the end of September.
Picking Uncle Mac and Lorna up from Tullamarine tomorrow at 11.45 they have been over in Perth and other parts of WA for the past 2 months so I'm guessing they are looking forward to coming home.
thats all.

How life can change
Le-Anne has been working for an architect for the past few months and I think is doing quite well. She was to have her performance review last week and although he was very pleased with her work he didn't give her a wage increase. She was bitterly disappointed. Even said if it had been a $1.00 she would have been happy. What a difference a week makes today he spoke to her and has increased her hourly rate by $2.50 this adds up to a substantial amount over time so now she's very happy.
Tonight she is at her interior design course, which Andrew the architect paid for. This was very generous of him to pay for the course.
There are apparently going to be changes in the uni over the next twelve months. I only hope they offer packages because my hand will be straight up. Perhaps it will go in my favour being one of the lowest levels there.
Uncle Mac and Lorna come back from Perth this coming weekend. Alan and I will be picking them up from the airport and will take them back to Traralgon.
Also did a cooking course at William Angliss last weekend and have now booked into the Christmas one that is run a month before Christmas. I'm really looking forward to that.

Had an interesting day yesterday
Went to Dandenong Market with Le-Anne and then came home and started preparing tea.
Initially I was going into the city with Janette but her day ended up being pretty full on so we decided to forgo that little adventure until another day.
In the late afternoon she rang and said she was absolutely buggered and wouldn't be coming. I then in my wisdom said yes you are I've cooked home made soup and have a couple of racks of lamb in the oven. Anyway about an hour later I thought I was pretty rude demanding she come when she was so tired. So I was ringing her to apologise for being so rude and to say go home because she was so tired. As I was ringing her I spotted her car coming up the road and as I walk out to meet her she got out of her car and gave me a bunch of beautiful purple iris's an apologised for being so rude. So in the end she came in had a rest and had a lovely meal (the best I had cooked for ages) and went home. So a good day was had by all.

Everything arrived at the same time.
Le-Anne kept us up to date as to what was happening with Rebecca and then around 10.00 pm last night both cars pulled into the drive way. It had been a big drive from the south east but apart from being a bit tired Rebecca and the kids were fine.
then in the middle of everything Janette rang to see if we have power we did she didn't so I did suggest she come out here for the night - she declined but the offer was there.
also Carol rang to say that they had sold their house, lots of 8's in the final price. The people once they had signed the papers jumped on a plane for Hong Kong and most likely wont be back for 12 months. Carol is quite excited but she thinks Geoff is a bit stunned. Good on them is what i say. its time for a change.

Rebecca, Kate and Luke coming today
This is the first trip Rebecca has made over to visit us since she was a little girl. Should be fun and we're all looking forward to it. I should be able to add some photos after the visit.

Its been raining
What excitement yesterday! A massive big black cloud was travelling up from the south and then bang, the heavens opened. I'm not sure how much rain we had but it certainly looked good. Alan and Le-Anne were outside taking photos of the amount of water that was coming from the house. Check out the photo.

Much better today
Had a good night last night Trin and I just basically veged out on the lounge in the kitchen. Battened down the hatches just in case the high winds came again. But they didn't. We all slept well - including the dog.

Horrible cramp in my leg
Oh it was so bad, I could hardly breath let alone walk, couldn't do anything. Anyway after about ten minutes it started to subside and today its fine.
Brent came and stayed. he seems such a nice young bloke. He's worked Le-Anne out - as long as she wins she's happy. How true.
Alan has had quite a successful time so far on his trip up into nsw. Yesterday he went to Shepparton and then stay at Albury. Today he is off to Wagga and Griffith.
He also rang last night which was nice.

Last Friday 5 June 2009
Alan and I went down to the Cove for dinner. We had a nice meal and were leaving around 6.15.
As I walked to the car I noticed that a man was walking quite quickly towards our car. As i got into the car I tried to lock the doors quickly but didn't make it the bloke opened the bloody door! This gave me a bit of a jolt but as Alan was in the passengers seat i wasn't that worried.
Anyway he told me he had been waiting for 2 hours for a taxi and offered me $50.00 to drive him home. I said no but he continued to ask questions and persisted in offering the $50.00 I also told him to go back into the hotel and ring another taxi.
Description:
he would have been mid to late 30's
light brown to blondish hair with a slight curl. His hair was about a college cut length. He also had a baby kind of face and was softly spoken. Still not nice and it did unsettle me.

Something was wrong
I felt miserable and I was miserable.
My back started to hurt a bit on Monday and then on Tuesday morning at precisely 2.10 am there was one almighty crash and what had happened was the remainder of the garage ceiling crashed down! i think I jumped out of bed so quickly that it finished my back.
I'll add some photos of what the garage looks like shortly.
I spent most of Tuesday either standing up or lying down. I managed to get an appointment at the physio on Wednesday and attended at 10.10 yesterday morning. I felt absolutely wonderful when she had finished although she said not to sit for long periods of time.
So here I am back at work today and I'm not that sure that I'll manage to stay the full day but I'll see how I go.
