dinner last night


some friends from work and i went to pondok bali last night for dinner. i think it's the only balinese restaurant in adelaide but i may be wrong. we had the banquet which is so delicious. started with lumpia (spring rolls) and satay chicken. then the mains. sanur chicken, fish, beef rendang, gado gado and rice. followed by coconut pandan pancake with icecream and toffee sauce. omg. devine food. a little expensive i suppose but a lovely treat. we went straight from work so i got home about 9.30 pm which is good coz i was exhausted as it's been flat out at work this week. it's my g/son's b/day today so i'm going up there later. it's nearly seven and i woke at 5.45 am for no reason that i can see. bloody disgusting that i can't sleep. i can hear the woman next door banging around. she's an inconsiderate cow. also, it's raining so when i do the washing later i'll have to hang it on the airer thingy in the kitchen again. at least we had some lovely sunny days through the week. glorious. have a great w/end

a love poem 2







If I could have just one wish,

I would wish to wake up everyday to the sound of your breath on my neck,

the warmth of your lips on my cheek,

the touch of your fingers on my skin,

and the feel of your heart beating with mine...

Knowing that I could never find that feeling with anyone other than you.

the sun is out

















and it's quite a nice day here. i found an earring i lost so that's good. made another blog. link is somewhere on the right. i'm going to lunch today with my son and family. should be nice.

i tried to fix my shower as it was spurting out to the side and annoyed me. took it apart thinking it needed cleaning but no, it's the washer thingy. it's rotten. went to the hardware store but they don't make them anymore. dayam. i had a shower and it was like standing under a hose. the gas co. sent me a free shower head but i can't get the other one off to put it on. oh well. i'm sure my sil will help.

have a lovely day where ever you are. ;)

i swear this is true


this morning i drove down my street on my way to physio/hydro. there on the very edge of the kerb was a young woman sitting in a very nice chair playing a cello. i was going quite slow but still didn't get enough of a look. i couldn't believe what i was seeing and of course i couldn't hear anything coz the windows were up and cd player was on. now you don't see that everyday in my suburb, i don't know about yours. :) i also saw two ambulances and further along a gorgeous big siamese cat. i'm partial to siamese cats. so elegant and beautiful. i still miss my vincent every day. but i could write a whole blog about that.
i broke one of my fave cups tonight. bugga. never mind i have others.
i'm watching a video of the food safari. love that show. i should be watching a movie as i brought a few dvds home tonight.
my daughter is coming for lunch tomorrow and my son is taking me out to lunch at his friend's house on sunday.
i had a reasonable sleep last night so feel heaps better than yesterday. i was in bed at 9.30 pm. unheard of usually. i'm a late to bed person. i don't have to get up until about 8.00 am but am usually up around 7. it's all good.
have a lovely weekend. enjoy whatever you get up to and stay warm if you live in the southern states of oz coz it's freezing here. :)
