Problems/Problems

Hi all, I am really going to be good for the rest of the year, with my blog!
So I arrived at the farm at Loch, to be hosted by my friend's children, as my friend is back in WA! So I had a nice week there, washing, watching the rain come down, freezing my butt off! It was pretty cold for me , at least! Takes some getting acclimatising, after mild WA. Finally made my plans to leave, as I needed to coordinate with my granddaughter Emma, who is over in Victoria studying. I promised her she could have my sewing ,achine, as she is studying fashion sign etc. But trying to get it to her proved too hard! I eventually planned to leave it with Brad , om the farm, to deliver it to her in Melbourne at a mutually suitable time.
So I headed off to Kinglake to visit there with my young friend who had had her baby since I was last there in January/Fbruary. And to deliver her her wedding quilt, which I had finished last month . It took up a lot of weight in my suitcase, flying back from WA! So we achieved that and she seems happy with it, luckily! I have posted photos on my facebook page, but I can't still, work out how to get them on to my blog! it is so frustrating!!!
Next to my problems! It was very wet up at Kinglake and strong winds, I was really rocking through the night. so come morning I step out of bed, squelch!! what thexx??!! water! I got out the towels and mopped up, thinking it was the strong winds forced the rain through the slideout , but no! I opened another cupboard to get some socks out and phew!! wet black milw, a cupboard full of summer t shirts and clothes, sopping wet and black and stained! yuK! So i dragged that out into some plastic bags, and got in comtact with motorhome maintenance at Wodonga, where I had had maintenance done before. So I drove up here via Nagambie to visit with my friend over the weekend, THEN THE WATER PUMP FAILED TO WORK! I am like!!! what!! I am rapidly getting over this! I really was pretty lucky with the old motor home, apart from a cracked hatch that leaked, it wasn't too bad! Considering this is only 18 months old.I had to book a cabin to stay in as I needed to empty out a lot of stuff from the motor home to give the men room to work,and also to stay in as without water and maybe more rain on the way, I didn't want to get any wetter!So first thing this morning, it was drop of the motorhome, luckily just around the corner om the caravan park,Then I started on 3 loads of washing to try and  ure the mildew problem!Course it isn't raining , but it is so overcast, I will have to use the dryer as well, so although I have a washing machine of my own, I have to pay 12 bucks for 3 loads to wash, and then probably another 12 bucks to dry it. Not happy Jack!!

Return to Victoria

Hello everyone,
Well here I am back in Victoria, today. tomorrow back in my beloved motorhome. Since I last blogged, lots has happened, but not much has happened. I have spent a lot of time back in WA being the stand by for Mum, while both sisters have been overseas. I have had the use of sister Maxine's car and run up a lot of miles while i commuted between South Yunderup, Busselton and Bunbury. I have visited with Mum a lot, with varying results, at this age I guess it is normal for the loved one to be variously interested and lethargic. I was shocked to find the Dr found a nasty aggressive skin cancer on mums upper arm , when he gave her her flu jab. so that was a small pheaval when she h#d that removed. Luckily she seemed to take it kn her stride. Funnily , when she was being transferred from her wheelchair to the couch in the drs surgery, her trousers fell down! so she has been losing a bit of weight. you sort of lose these pictures when you visit and she is always in her comfy big armchair. Strangely , she has been brighter since the excision. Does lcal anaesthetic have an effect on oldies
n finishing lots of ufo's . I am really pleased with what I have achieved. I visited Perths quilt show and have found a web site for selling my craft goods, probably first off putting my jewellry making out there.
Much to my surprise, daughter Genevieve ( who is now in her 40,s ) is pregnant again, with number six! I have to admit I was not happy, but its not my baby and problem , we are now excited to learn she is having a girl, no 5, So all in all, more changes in the dynamics of the family? I have been planning Mums 100 th birthday celebrations while I have been over here. so that is organised. anyway, that is a start  for renewing my blog, so hopefully you are all well and enjoying life. until the next one ciao. vicki
