Simple Womans Daybook

FOR TODAY... 31 May

Outside my window. . . wow!!! the sky is blue. We have had so much rain over the last week or so

I am listening to...silence

I am thinking... about the fact that I might buy a card and put it inthese peoples letterbox just to let them know Im thinking of them

I am thankful for... a nice fine day :)

I am wearing... my dressing gown

I am going... to clean up the house, do a pamphlet drop for church and will have to do B14s paper round - hes sick

I am currently reading... Cliff Richard The Biography by Steve Turner its very interesting and readable

I am hoping... it stays fine today

Around the house...same old . . . housework

One of my favorite things . . .summer cant wait for October when things start warming up

A Few Plans for the Rest of the Week . . .

depends on how long B14 is sick for

From my photo album . . .

UPDATE

Today it was grey but fine :)

I went and had a look at what we couldnt see well because of the dark last night

my thoughts and prayers are with the family whom live at this house

they are a nice family and apparently going to be out of their house for at least a few more days

Floods and Slips very close to us

Its been raining a lot throughout New Zealand in the last week or so

Tonight as we were watching the news we saw this

we drew the lounge curtains back and saw this

a fire engine with the barrier behind it

We have part of the hill at the end of our driveway so checked that it was still intact it was

Our driveway is a common one and its entrance is a bit up the road from our actual address

I walked around the small block from our driveway to our front steps that lead up to our house and all seemed ok

A bit of excitement, B14 is now vowing to keep his cat inside until further notice

and hes prepared the cat box unless we get evacuated - I dont think we will

How I managed to get the waves

In response to a question to a question I was asked on Monday about my hair

After my shower in the evening I plait it while its wet and wear it like that all night in the morning I under do it and I have waves :)

FOR TODAY... 24 May

Outside my window. . . Its been raining

I am listening to... silence

I am thinking... about how I hope to have a better week this week

I am thankful for... my God who loves me personally

I am wearing... my dressing gown

I am going... to have to clean up the house as well as teach B14 later today

I am currently reading... Cliff Richard The Biography by Steve Turner its very interesting and readable

I am hoping... that it stops raining later or that my catalogues are dry where I have left them out on my run

Around the house...as I said before the house needs whipping into shape again today

One of my favorite things . . .my hair I like it long too :) Thanks for your comments about it dear friends

A Few Plans for the Rest of the Week . . . just the usual keeping house, home schooling etc

From my picture journal . . .

I got my hair to be all wavy :)

MY NEW NECKLACE - that I got her my birthday from my children

Ive also put another special pendant on it

The Colours in My Life

Yesterday was a blue grey day

After dropping D4 with his dad

B14 and I went to the funeral to say goodbye to a dear friend

she only suffered 14 months mercifully

A real Proverbs 31 lady

It was pouring down outside

and in the church

I held in so much of what I was feeling

resulting in somehow putting my neck out

and giving myself an aching head for the rest of the day

In the afternoon I trudged along through the rain collecting my catalogues

Still the rain poured

and my head ached

Today I awoke with the alarm clock at 630

This morning I scurried along with my trusty old $8 mountain buggy

delivering newspapers along the way

up and down the hills

Autumn seems to really have come to the Bay

here and there I see a carpet of red, yellow and brown leaves like a carpet on the road

I see a boat awaiting a tug boat or two to pull it in

I am rewarded with great views and

The sun rises promising a better day today
