bug run 2

bug run march 2012

we went on another bug run today.  up into the hills, down to the beach and cafe primo for lunch.  we are all pooped.  my son made a short video. the backing music is by his band khatrun.  i have to put it in as a link above.  apologies.  we had a lovely day.  the club members are all very friendly people and a good time was had by all.  i'm off tomorrow and then back to work on tuesday.  ewwwww  :)

a pic from the last bug run. i forgot my camera today :(

the weather today was perfect.

yesterday i went up to see my daughter and g/kids.  their dog had nine puppies.  the pups are too cute and have their eyes open now.  we had a nice day.  a little lunch and a little shopping.  we went to about four garage sales too and had a great day.   i hope you enjoyed your weekend 

honey honey

i went shopping yesterday with my son and got veggies and stuff.  we had brekky.  salad and zuchinni fritters for brekky are the bomb.  so delish.  then, we went to the honey 'factory'.  this place is ancient.  it's a few  suburbs away and looks like a time warp.  the building is from the 40s i'd say.  he sells every kind of honey and honey products like pollen and beeswax etc.  i got some beeswax to make some solid perfume for gifts.  i hope it works.  i got some manuka honey which is supposed to be great.  usually i only like indonesian honey.  it's so mild and delicate in flavour.  apparently honey is one of the few food items that doesn't go off.  if it chrysalises just put it over hot water and stir until it gets back to normal.  i have it with green tea and a quarter teaspoon of organic cinnamon.  delish.  here is a pic of the honey factory -

you may have to click on it it enlarge it.  the bloke who runs it is a character.  he offered to pose in the yard working the pulley thingy.  he had a 'grumpy old man' tshirt on but wasn't really that grumpy.  pity that we didn't get a pic of him. 

we had a full on thunderstorm in adelaide yesterday.  lots of rain and amazing thunder and lightening.  bit scary really.  quite a bit of damage done around the city but we escaped any damage/power cuts so thats good.  enjoy your day wherever you are.  :)

you have to laugh don't you?

there's a philosophy going around that says laughter is the best medicine.  they have groups in the park and just laugh.  don't laugh, it's true.  here's a pic that made me laugh this morning.

they found unusual cells near the kidney tube in the bladder.  not good. biopsied them and burnt off the one already there.  no chemo this time.  i will wait and see what the report says.  at least my gp speaks in terms that i can understand and takes the time to go through it with me.  the registrar at the hospital told me i may lose a kidney down the track.  i tried to take this info in and wondered if i'd cope with working and the discomfort.  taking time off work.  retiring.  all this stuff going through my head and then ....  and then .... (sounds like a song from long ago)  he came back and said he'd misread the notes from the surgeon and it was not in fact in my kidney but near the kidney tube (i'm sure that's the correct medical term).  relief?  sort of.  still in dark though.  i'm going to buy some honey and cinnamon today.  apparently it's the latest cure all.  allegies, dandruft and cancer.  hahahahaha.  my son is here (bless his little cotton socks). we are going to breakfast and the health food shop.  :)  enjoy your day wherever you are  

home from hospital

i had the procedure on saturday and came home today (public holiday).  all well at this stage.  no results of course, i'll go to my gp in a week or two.  should be ok for bali.  will write more later.  all good
