The sands of time have probably sunk.

I have come to the recent conclusion that WordPress is no longer my friend. I have tried several times – in fact more than several times – to comment on Anabel’s page and on Monika’s page without much success. Yes, Anabel I was the “anonymous ” person on your site. Anyway, I think I am being told that it’s time for me to go. Probably just as well, since I have not contributed much to anything online of late. Everything is coming to an end, and I will have to change my email address soon as our provider will no longer be supporting emails. Actually, we do have a new family email which is active – and I do use it – but not in general use at the moment.

I have reverted back to my younger days and developed a “scruffy” look in that I am living on noodles, have not shaved nor had a haircut in about two months or more. Didn’t set out to do that, it just happened. Still, look on the bright side, I’m not scruffy and smelly – just scruffy  :o)  I was asked if I was planning to audition as one of Santa’s helpers this year, but then it was also suggested that I have lost so much weight I no longer meet the requirements. Oh well, back to the noodles! As for Annabell, well she is not getting any better – she sleeps a lot, and she forgets things these days. Keeps me very much on my toes. I don’t get out much – in fact, not at all really and my garden looks like Putin has paid it a visit.   I make frequent trips to the shops mainly because I cannot spend the time away from the house to make a major shopping trip, so I nip out and get a few things as I start to run out. We have completed all the tests Flinders wanted and passed them all and have had clearance for surgery.   So, we wait. I believe that it will not be this year, but I hope, early next year.  I  thought we would have had to go to Adelaide to get the inserts replaced for at least one more time. However, it’s getting a bit late in the day now.

Benji is well. Sleeping a lot but that’s good. He is eating well and we still get out for walks – very much shorter than they used to be but a lot more frequent. Still , at least we are getting out, and that’s something! Sadly, it is starting to heat up. The temperature yesterday was 39c with today being 35c and what this means is that I can no longer take him with me on my frequent shopping trips. I cannot leave him in the car in that heat – even with the windows open (which doesn’t really do much anyway) We ” adults” understand this, but Benji just sees me going out without him. So, like yesterday, (39C) I did the shopping trip with a guilt complex :o)

There is a lot of indications that we will be in for a long hot summer with the fire danger extended. Western Australia are having major bushfire problems at the moment and I think there are bushfire problems in Queensland. If Europe is anything to go by, it’s not going to be too much ” fun in the sun” this summer.  Well, there we are. I have no idea if this will actually be posted or if there will be anything after this. I should really like to think so, but  my thinking has left a lot to be desired lately. So, we will have to wait and see what happens. I am sorry that I have not been on-line much lately, but as you can understand, there have been reasons.
