Greetings From The Sunny Mid-North Coast!

Hey!

It’s been a week since I last wrote here. My plan was to write every couple of days or so, but the week has somehow slipped by without me noticing. To be perfectly honest I don’t have anything wise, witty or even particularly interesting to talk about, but

here’s a bit of a roundup of the past week. I have more pictures to add, but me being technologically ignorant, I can’t seem to get them loaded here. This one was hard enough! What I will do is go through all the support stuff and load up photos through the week.

The photo above is my Mum and I having lunch at the Boatshed. It is on a jetty kind of thing. There are boats moored and you are able to feed the fishies. We went there after seeing “The Sapphires” at the local movie theatre, which is an old family run business with a lot of the old fixtures still there. It is quite beautiful inside.

We went to Taree on Wednesday. My Mum was born there and went to Taree Public School (built 1902) – photo to come. That day we had lunch at a tea garden at Morelands (I have photos from here as well). I had a burger with “the works” – the works alright, complete with a skewer and a stalk of parsley sticking out of the top like a tree. It was huge but I managed to get through it all apart from one side of the bun! Piggy, piggy me, but it were yum! We met a lady(who’s name I am ashamed to say I don’t remember) and her dog Sassy, a beautiful black Kelpie.

The visit my Mum had to make to the doctor turned out ok. She has a problem, but one that can be managed easily. Yay! I had a fright when the doc called her name and when she got up I heard the doctor ask if someone was with her. Yikes!!! She is really independant and said yes she did but no, she didn’t need anyone to come in with her. I spent most of the visit standing outside the door trying to hear what was going on. The other patients must’ve thought I was a nutter!

We’ve been doing lots of ordinary things, watching girly movies(which my Mum loves), taking the dog for a walk, all that regular kind of stuff which I haven’t had a chance to do for years.

On a personal note, I really don’t think I am going to go back to Sydney. I’m sold on living close to the water, further away from the stinking rat race.

Well that’s about all I gotz to say. I will try and work out how to get the photos on properly. I see so many beautiful blogs with photos, I know there’s a way.

Oh, it is also Father’s Day here in Australia. “Happy Father’s Day Dad!” Miss you a lot.

Till next time
