I'll be the first to admit that I've not been keeping this up like I had originally planned. But plans are what you make while life is actually happening.
My back suddenly deteriorated and is now causing trouble for me walking, sitting and standing, naturally this also means I now have trouble driving, so I had to move house. I now live in an assisted living situation with the Smurfling. And it's been an adventure packing a 3 BR house into a 3 room unit that's for sure. There is an extension planned for later in the year when the weather warms up a bit since we have to cut a wall out to make it work and the weather has been atrocious. Amusingly.
There was no rain, complete drought in this location for years, watering done via the dam which we've kinda decided now is spring fed since the iron content in the water has gone through the roof. I move here, it rains. Solidly. For weeks. Wettest year so far, and my parents were here the year Victoria flooded.
One good side effect of the move is that I'm no longer turning into the "Crazy Cat lady Hermit". My mum got me involved in the Country Women's Association because at the time there was a play and dang it I trained for that!
Wonderful group of ladies, and people to talk to while I knit once a month if I either finish early on the group craft or don't want to do it for whatever reason. I strongly urge everyone to go find their local group. If nothing else they're lovely ladies and there's generally someone there who makes scones to die for!
