Adelaide Visit

Posted on by joansjottingscom

Just returned from a long overdue visit to our Adelaide relatives. My first flight since COVID restrictions.

Always good to catch up with family.
My wonderful family could not let what would have been our 50th Wedding Anniversary go unacknowledged.
Robyn treated me to lunch at the Panaroma
Jai on the injured list. School soccer injury. Not a good start to Easter holidays.
Finishing off a project mum had started. She made many blankets for “wrapped in love” charity. These have become pillow cases.
I changed this project from covers for the lounge to 2 blankets. The prominent cream colour is alpaca fibre that came from Wingello. Thank you Bruna and Michael.
Using some scrappy wool to make these fidget toys.
My Aunty turned 95 recently so I took some photos of plants in my garden that had originally come from her garden. She is now residing in a nursing home.

The nice sunny/windy days made it ideal to dry wool.

I have spun up most of the wool I bought in my travels last year. Ready now to knit up over winter.
Now up to date with photo books.

This time last year I was in Tumut enjoying the autumn colour. Winter chill is on its way.

Retired in April 2017 after a long career in cardiac nursing which I loved, I find my life has totally changed. After almost loosing my husband last August to a dissecting aortic aneurysm complicated by a massive watershed stroke post cardiothoracic surgery, we are adapting to a very different life together. This is our now story. Update, November 2025. Chris continued to do well until he had a stroke in August 2018. This time after 2 weeks on life support with no sign of improvement he passed away peacefully with the family present. RIP Chris, much loved and missed.
