20181120 – Tuesday – Swimming

  20181120 – Tuesday – Swimming I usually go swimming Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but this morning, on Tuesday, I went swimmig instead. I also got there rather late about 9.15.   I discovered that today is the day all the “Minda’s” were there.  Minda is a term that was coined in my childhood days. […]

20181119 – Monday – Home Again

20181119 – Monday – Home again I really enjoyed my green tea in Darren’s company yesterday afternoon. We sat under an umbrella which shaded us from the sun which had a bite in it. My eyes were filled with blue skies and an expanse of shimmering sea.  There are a couple of islands just out […]

20181118 – Sunday – The Whaler’s Inn

20181118 – Sunday – The Whalers inn. This weekend has been the best!  I really felt so privileged to be invited to stay in Jim L’s holiday home at Encounter Bay on Whaler’s Way for the weekend.  Present were my 2nd cousin Trevor G and Ali and Jase and Mel and Amanda and David and […]

20181117 – Saturday – Victor Harbor

20181117 – Saturday – Victor Harbor. It is Saturday and I am going to Victor Harbor.  It is a beautiful Sunny day, and everything is a delight! But I have found something rather interesting under the heading of “changes in my behaviour,” each day. I used to do things very rapidly. When I was dressing […]

20181115.1 – Friday – “Ladies in Black.”

“Ladies in Black” – This movie was pure nostalgia. For someone my age, 79, anyway. It was set in I think It was 1959, so that was 1 year before I was married, so it was spot on to be nostalgic for me. There was no real main character, but as each character was introduced […]

20181115 – Friday – Women @ Well, and “ladies in black.”

20181115 – Friday – Women @ Well at Hyde Park and “ladies in black” at Mt Barker. I simply LOVE our little group of Women at Hyde Park. Today, Collleen Roberts was our leader and the subject, the Woman caught in adultery, or as Colleen labeled in the “young, scared girl” caught in adultery. Being […]

20181115 – Thursday – Swimming, Inc Cafe

20181115 – Thursday – Swimming, Inc cafe This morning I woke up feeling quite well, so I got myself ready to go to the Aquatic Centre for a swim. All the regulars were there.  Bill who goes in the 2nd lane and steams along walking very fast.  He comes in a huge gopher and then […]

20181114 – Wednesday – Unwell

20181114 – Wednesday – Unwell. Well, I have not been feeling good for 2 days now. I woke up on Tuesday and the first mistake I made was to weight myself! I was 2 kg heavier than the day before. How could that be? This made me miserable. For the whole time I have been […]

20181112 – Monday – Aquatic Centre

20181112 – Monday – Aquatic Centre. Today, I fit into a pair of bathers I haven’t worn since around 1970.  They are a bit tight, but not too badly so. I just wish I had all the clothes I used to wear, but they were tossed out years ago, when I believed it was never […]

20181111 – Sunday – South Adelaide

20181111 – Sunday – South Adelaide. Sundays are wonderful! There is a whole different feel to the day. I am sitting in the Mediterranean cafe on Broadway, this morning.  It is full of families who are coming out with their family groups and sharing companionable breakfasts together. I am here, not for breakfast, but just […]
