Wow! Can you believe it? We are in the last month of this year already today! I don’t know about you, but this year has simply whizzed by at the speed of light for me! How has it been for you?
I fed Shamara, made my coffee and tiptoed up the creaking stairs to my studio to have my Quiet Time.
After that I went downstairs – Paddy was up and having his first coffee of the day, and Tamryn joined him a little later. I went to have a shower and get ready for church.
Ken slept in a bit as he was not going to church, because he wanted to do some slashing in the Large River Camp today.
Peter popped up to have a chat with Tamryn and to check exactly where she is wanting the other five windows placed in her container home. They went over measurements and stuff like that, as Peter likes to make one hundred percent sure before he starts working. Wise man!
Paddy took me across the river to my little car and I waved him a fond farewell as I bumped and bounced along the Highway off to church in Wauchope.
It was nice seeing our friends – most of them having been at the ‘Sausage Sizzle’ last night in Wauchope. There were a lot of our congregation absent this morning, but there were several new faces there today too.
I put out the remains of the Rocky Road that I had made for last night, and with a one-two-three – it was gone! When I got home Tamryn was not happy that
it had been demolished, but I promised her that I would be making more soon!
When I got back home, Paddy picked me up at the river and ran me up to the top shed.
Ken was slashing on the tractor in the Large River Camp. Tamryn was working in her container home and I set to work to make two plates of sandwiches for this hungry mob.
It is so hot and humid that I thought it would be nice for me to create a whole lot of different sarmies which meant that all they had to do was to eat them, as they would arrive back home all hot and sticky with the humidity and from working so hard outside!
Paddy was desperately trying to complete a section of fencing in an awkward area before he went home later today. But these things always take far longer than one hoped. Poor guy, out in this heat and humidity. Not fun!
After lunch Tamryn headed off to have a quick snooze and Raafie decided he would accompany her too. He has become very fond of an afternoon nap now and he usually joins Ken to do so.
Ken made us a coffee and then he headed out to continue slashing in the Large River Camp. Paddy still had not come in for lunch when he did so!
Paddy came back home at about four, had a shower, got dressed, packed and he and Tamryn left the farm to return back home to Terrigal. Yahee! We will see them both in two weeks.
What lesson did I learn today? Find the fun or the funny thing when things are not that fun or funny! They are always there. (I made a friend laugh out loud – one of those belly laughs -when she was not feeling that happy today by doing just that – finding the fun or the funny in her situation!)
What am I grateful for today? The rain we have received. Not too much and not too little … just the right amount!
My saying for today is ...
