@Snowie Think we are all set now. All the animals are fed and ready for bed. I really hope the cat and kittens don’t greet me with a mess in the morning cause I don’t have time to deal with that.
D is in bed. I’ve had my meds. I had a chat with mum.
I guess you Victorians get sick of rainy days and would love some sun and heat? Whereas I’m the opposite. I love a nice rainy cosy day. Don’t get them much.
goodluck with listing your sons school stuff. It’s such an effort! I still got D’s old school uniforms that I put up on the parents page. Thing is they are phasing out the school dresses she wore. Annoying. I’m not going to be able to sell them now. Should just give them away to get rid of them.
I should go crawl into bed now. Thank you for keeping me company hon. I really appreciate it.

Sounds like you are all set @Bow
I really hope that they market goes well tomorrow and you sell lots.
Been trying to get rid of things. Clean out the shed a bit. Just gave 4 bikes away. I gave them to a man who does them up and then gives them away to children who's parents can't afford to buy them one. Such a great thing to do. Happy to help and give them away for free.
Thats annoying about D's uniforms. Some I will be able to sell but there is some that I'll just give away.
So glad we could chat tonight. I'm not sure if you realise how much you help me out too.
Goodnight hon 💕

Hey @Snowie ? Wondering how your day is going?

Hi dear @Bow
Day is going ok. Been awake since about 4 though. Woke up from a flashback and just couldn't settle again. Eventually got up and did a big pile of ironing. At least its done.
Just been on a Bunnings trip. Been asking H to fix the lid on my saucepan for ages. He finally did something about it today!
Its cold and wet here today. Sunshine is all gone.
How are you going? How did the market go?

Sorry your sleep was interrupted @Snowie thats rough. But yay for ironing all being done. Don’t remember the last time I ironed!
I didn’t sleep the best either. Storm was rumbling when I went to bed last night.,, and dog was scratching at my door. Went and wrapped her up in a blanket on the couch. But she wouldn’t stay. So I put a basket at more door so she wouldn’t scratch. Got to sleep. Woke to the hugest loudest thunder crack at 4am. So loud. Was waiting for the dog to smash the door down! But she didn’t. And then I woke just before my alarm at 5:30am. D’s bedroom door was wide open. Then the dog comes out of there. Think she slept under D’s bed all night.
market went ok. Not our best, but we still sold a bit. Was heaps of stalls, like the most I’ve seen there, but just not the foot traffic this weekend.
but I used my new market stand today for the first time and it worked perfectly. Quick and easy to set up unlike my old one. Bit chuffed with how it all worked out.
it was hot too. Glad to be home in front of the fan
I need a trip to bunnings. Decided I want a new market chair. I got a low and deep camping chair. This old body struggles to get up out of it.

Hopefully I can get a bit more sleep tonight @Bow See how I go.
Sometimes I find I can settle and go back to sleep, just didn't work out this morning.
Sounds like the dog finally found a safe place to sleep. Mine just takes up half the bed!
That was good about your new market stand. Anything to make setting up a bit easier. Glad to hear you sold some.
Have you got many more in the lead up to Xmas?
I totally agree with the chair hon. Some of them are very hard to get out of. One where you don't sink as low would be much better.
Have you got much on tomorrow or can you just take it easy after a big day today?

Got a market on Friday evening @Snowie twilight one. And then our country market the first Saturday in December. The one we did today is on again on the 21st. Not sure if we are doing that or not.
Tomorrow I’ll do the groceries and then I have a dietitian appointment in the morning. SW usually comes on Mondays too? Really hoping she does.
what about you? You got much on this week?
16-11-2025 04:33 PM

At least your mum will be back for the other markets @Bow Make it a bit easier on you.
I hope your SW comes tomorrow hon.
Mum's got gp appt. tomorrow morning so will take her to that and then she'll want to go up the street, so will take her there too. She's the type that has to look at everything and touch everything so it will be a slow process.
No other appt's this week so hoping for an uneventful week.

Seeing you amongst the husband waiting outside all the shops for their wives…. But you’re waiting for your mum @Snowie ! I actually have a little chuckle when I see it, especially this time of the year cause there is so many of them.
Just had some toast for dinner. Not much hungry. Wanted something cold but don’t really have anything. I do have a tin of pineapple in the freezer though. I like it nice and cold.
spent some time down with the kittens a little while ago. My scales are messing up. Need to find our other kitchen ones and check them with that. I also grabbed a few ice cubes and put them on a plate for them. They were all so cautious. So slow to get close to it. They all eventually touched it but didn’t really like them, too cold! Does your dog like ice cubes? Our does, but they gotta have cucumber in them otherwise nope, not good enough for her!

Even if we went to the shops a few days before hand @Bow she would still have to touch the same things again. It takes a lot of my patience. I am the type to make a list, get in and get out as quick as possible. Unfortunately I just can't let her go by herself. She doesn't remember how to use her card or money anymore so have to do it for her.
Never tried pineapple in the freezer. Might have to.
Also never tried her with ice cubes. She does like zooper doopers though!! Found D giving her some awhile ago.
I can imagine the kittens still being so little they fit on the scaes!
