ANd we'd be wearing flowing white peasant dresses, and our hair would be streaming out behind us, and the afternoon sun would be glinting of our bike, and we would be riding through long grass (how do they even do that)

Hey, maybe amongst all the other skills I'm learning, I couls learn wicker weaving. Using gaily painted wicks.

Please tell me you're using nappy liners and real old fashioned cloth nappies.


Do they still do the nappy service? That's what I bought 6 months worth for 2 of my girlfriend years ago for pressy..

Oh, my life is now complete.....once I get me my peasant dress of course!!!! What about hand made fresh flower hair do things as well???

Rags, the chookie can cook off would be fun for the kiddies IMO.

I just smile and smile every time I see the pic of our little Bump.

It's a chilly afternoon at post code 2151....brrr..... I was all warm and sleepy at the command desk now feeling the evening chill.

Must away and search for food.... I'm not really into food but seeing the fun you all have here with yumminess it's spiked my interest.....

Oh dear.... That is in my era. Did I really wear those clothes and dance like that? Umm, yes. I did.

I used to live at 2170 many years ago.

Just 500g mince, grated onion, beaten egg and a tablespoon of Thai curry paste or an Indian curry paste. Roll in a ball and you can bake them on a tray in the oven if you dont want the kids frying them. They can have em with pasta or on little bread rolls with cheese and salad, like a sub.

That is one wicked recipe. Thanks Happs.

Just added to the recipes for the kids.

Did I tell you I accidentally washed the scarf I knitted in hot water and it is now a rather expensive but ratty looking bit of felt? Is crocheting easier than knitting a scarf1 row plain, 1 row perl?

And before I go and cook dinner, Mr Rags tripped over a blade of grass and rather severely damaged his little finger which he kept bumping. So I said use some of the magic stuff at work and make a cast with a high side. He did and every evening he comes home and I wrap his pinky up. He had a lot of exo's to-day and it is very very swollen.





And for the other titbit of news in the Rags household is the bloody rats are back in the heating ducting. They probably never left. So as a very short term measure I am trying to overpowewr the very strong rat piddle smell with this at the air return/intake.




OK have to go. Early morning start tomorrow too.

Sleep well Undies.

Yes, yes, yes my beautiful pink bike has arrived! She is gorgeous indeed. I fell off into the shrubs leaving the driveway but since it's been steady as she goes. She has a wicker basket and my Dharmsie dog is still a bit flummoxed about the whole travel in the basket deal but is brave and tries not to shake too badly as it puts my steering off a little. I tried to upload a pic if me, Dharmsie, Marilyn (bike) and my grandson but I couldn't make it happen. I could send it to someone to upload for me if they were to volunteer their services......lol. The basket has little handles so you can carry it with ease. Oh, my life is now complete.....once I get me my peasant dress of course!!!! What about hand made fresh flower hair do things as well???

Marilyn.....knew the bike would have a name Flowers in the hair....yes must have flowers in the hair.....

Weird. I thought the same thing when I looked at his piccie....might have had a few lifetimes before this one eh?

Mom gave up a son for adoption when she was young and reconnected with him 2 years ago. He has 3 kids and they are all in their teens. So really experience wise this is their first grand child.

Jeez Sunny.....

I'm going to see if I can have a good talk tomorrow if she's not too exhausted (physically and emotionally) from this palliative care session tomorrow.
I am at the stage where I feel even if I alienate myself from her (which I don't think will happen) or her dad (which very likely will happpen) I must talk to them and actually use the word death or dying..
The dad is on the big denial thing at the moment.
No, they don't know roles and where to get help. I've said start with hospital social worker but I think that has been ignored. Hate to say it but her dad isn't the brightest and he has always been a bit of a ditherer and procrastinator.
But what I have seen is a decline since I first caught up with her only 6 weeks ago. From what happened with my aunt, mum and husband, and what she's describing this will overtake her very soon. But I can't say that as I'm not a doctor. But they are certainly not prepared. I may ring that friend of hers a bit later this evening.

Not sure what she's told the kids. I don't think she's told them she's going to die. Just that she's going to be sick. I think she should tell them within the next couple of weeks She has told them she has liver cancer but they sort of treat it lightly. .

But hell, just how much do I butt in?


Kitchen: I'll be taking some of my own equipment as I don't know what they have. Kitchen is miniscule so I asked if they would use dining room for the meal . They usually all squeeze round the kitchen table which is a bit silly as it's awfully squishy.
Good point about handling hot dishes.
I'll also make it into a keep your workspace clean and clear, watch out for ringers, pot handles etc. Is that the sort of thing you mean?

OK I will have a think about some folk and services that I know of down there. Bloody hell, they are really not ready, are they? The kids, well all of them, will need things to be managed a bit.
