Rocking Monday
Good morning everyonehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsthP5AONzc
Wet, dark cold and quite a miserable looking day. None of mother natures creatures are awake so the walk this morning was filled with nothing but our own voices and the wind blowing through thr ghostly sahapes of the leafless trees.
We have made plans for today which will consume our energy, we had decided to look for things not to do so that we can leave them for another day. Lunch will be at home with a home made broth, sprouts, carrots and green beans followed by a fairly large Brandy and a afternoon similar to the morning.
Mags our neighbour is recovering very well and is out walking each day, unfortunately another neighbour who lost his wife in August collapsed and died on his way to the doctors for a check up( RIP Ron ) on Friday and his dog is now looking for a new home.
Have a great day everyone and start getting in the mood by

Oh, how sad! What tragedy in your neck of the woods! I do hope the dog finds a loving home, it must be awfully bewildered with it's carers both gone. i do hope your neighbour Mags continues to improve in health! It is 3.20 p.m. here nearly the end of the working day (office) for me, was up at 4.30 this morning, doing some gardening at 5, then brekkie cut lunches and off to work! Mid 20's today getting up to mid 30's by end of week. Lovely out this morning, hearing the magpies, crows, doves and solitary kookaburra greeting the new day! Makes a nice change from all the noise at work! Have a lovely relaxing day indoors!

Re: Rocking Monday
Good morning allNot a very nice day here today very frosty first thing and now it is raining, think i will curl up with a good book, and make some more soup later, my husband requested a mushroom soup yesterday, it may have started off as a soup but ended up as more of a stew by time we had cooked the beef and put the bits into it. Was lovely though with crusty bread.
Enjoy your day

Re: Rocking Monday
Hello everyone!
It looks a miserable damp and gloomy day outside but at least it's not so cold as of late.
Had a date with Mr. Dyson this morning, 'he' was pretty good and finding all the odd little bits of tinsel on the carpet.
AB, I'm very pleased to hear your neighbour has improved and is able to take walks now. What an awful shock about your other neighbour, Ron
, so soon after losing his wife too
I hope his dog will find a good home soon.Take care everyone...

Re: Rocking Monday
Good morning all. It's clear, dry and a bunch warmer this morning at near 43F, 7C with the high predicted at just 45F.Christmas shoppers are going bonkers this year spending copious amount of money compared to the previous two years. Online shopping has risen dramatically. I, on the other hand, have spent the least on gifts in my life. I've had to change my way and gotten creative, with hand made gifts of love.
America rejoices as our troops are returning from Iraq before Christmas. I won't be satisfied until all our sons & daughters are back at home.
Have a great day and think of those serving their countries overseas during the upcoming holidays.
