Blog more often.... yeah right !

That was my intention......
so this will be a big catch up post or maybe several posts.....

I was thinking that 2020 had a nice ring to it but so far it's not going the way I had expected....

The country has experienced some horrific events for so many people.....
January shocking fires...
February terrible floods....
and of course drought has been a huge problem all across the land for a long long time so in the grand scheme of things my issues are very small.....

In January Gavan was diagnosed with Alzheimer/dementia adding to his other health problems.....
So things have changed here in a big way, less retreating and outings for me sadly but you just do what needs to be done......
At least he isn't stressed by it all.... Lol....


Small problems followed.....
Washing machine broke, after 26 years....
It certainly was a work horse over the years.....

Then the oven element broke.....
fortunately Rob easily replaced that part.....

Big Red ..... our old Falcon station wagon that Gav used to go remote control plane flying had a power steering leak but now fixed.....
Sadly he isn't going anymore so not such a big problem....
What is happening ????
Surely things will improve soon.....

But no .....

now the world is going through the coronavirus which is devastating for so many families....
Our Liz and her son Clayton have both lost their jobs.... fortunately the rest of the family have jobs which are either essential or can be done from home....
Fingers crossed everyone cones through it safely.....

Keep smiling and stay safe.....

Gav looks like my hubby having a nap on the recliner.
I thought you had put a crown on his head but it's your hanger.....
