Monday

Well, the weekend we were in Melbourne, I fell over in Flinders Lane and nearly got run over by a delivery truck. Nobody helped - I shouldn't be surprised but I was. Anyway I badly grazed my left knee and burst some blood vessels in my left hand. Anyway, my knee is badly infected now so am back to square one with the healing process.
I have been trying to make some "simple" gift bags, but they haven't turned out :-( So I am going to plan b...... buying plain ones and decorating them in my style. I have wasted so much time, I am giving up!
Anyway, hope you have a great week!

Wednesday

Well the ROCKY HORROR SHOW was simply awesome!!!!!!! totally amazing!!!!! I didn't want to leave at the end of the show!!! I would love to see it again! Nearly everybody got to do the Time Warp as well!!!!

Well we are back after a very tiring long weekend. Rocky Horror Show on Saturday night was just fantastic! Totally amazing and would love to go again. Will write a longer account of the weekend later!

I forgot to post these couple of layouts that I have done about my great-niece, Lili.

Wednesday

Well, the rain didn't really last. Been showering here on and off. Just come in from planting some plants in my newly renovated garden. That area up the back is looking really good - so much better than before. We are off to Melbourne for a long weekend on Friday!!!! We are celebrating our 32nd wedding anniversary tomorrow and going to Melbourne to stay in luxury, do some shopping, catch up with friends and on Saturday we are going to the ROCKY HORROR SHOW!!!!! can't wait!!!!

TUESDAY

At last it's raining!!!!!!!!! YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhh hope it rains all day to give the garden a good soaking.

Just came back from Geelong. Had a great time as usual. Saw Tyler heaps which was nice and had a lovely day "in town" yesterday. I purchased a special dress for Sally & Joseph's wedding. Sally tried on her gown and got all the accessories which was great! Got some Christmas shopping done and bought some cds that I didnt think I could get - Jackson Browne's new one and James Taylor's new one!
Hope you all have a good week!

This is from Port Fairy last Saturday. We had lunch at The Stump which always has incredible meals. I had chicken parma and couldn't finish it all. It was very yummy! The beach is East Beach and of course it was raining as we were in the chev!
