Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year. The weather is milder and the gardens are a source of pleasure. Even if there seems to be confusion. Some trees are unseasonally in blossom. My pink camellia is putting on a magnificent display.
Generally the garden needs attention. After our recent rain everything has grown prolifically especially the weeds.
I am preparing and looking forward to our annual week away with the Rollers. This event was cancelled last year. We have booked out the caravan park and planned a lot of activities. This time it is closer to home and I can do the trip in one day. Already tagalong groups from other States in Australia are on their way. How exciting…..
Who is going to look after Van is proving to be more complex than it needs to be. It’s a big ask but not impossible.
Vaccinations are becoming available. Two of our Tuesday lunch ladies have had their jab. We are all in the eligible group for AZ vac. I will eventually get mine but not until I get back from my holiday.
Easter was very low key this year. School holidays are over. I didn’t have as much to do with the kids this time. Jake had time with Aunty Sharon in Sydney.
I was devastated to recently hear that a close friend was diagnosed with an aggressive lung cancer. He has commenced chemo and radiation therapy. After being told by the specialist that he is fit and that ” he is a fine specimen of a man” we are comforted by this fact. His battle begins and we are all here for him. Denise reports that his hair is falling out. This happens we know but Torbs has had a beard ever since I have known him it’s part of his persona. It can grow back and is just a minor concern in the scheme of things.
I’ve been busy knitting up some more fingerless mitt’s for a craft stall at SITMOM. I really like mine and find them so warm in the cold weather.
So looking forward to time away in the van, meeting up with friends from previous travels and enjoying a beautiful spot on the Sapphire Coast.
