bondi rescue - bali

i just happened to watch this program last night (i taped it) and i must say i'm impressed. all of those bali boys in togs. oh dear. it was almost too much to take. hot flush coming on :)

i don't know why i have such a thing for (some) balinese/indonesian men but i do.

the weather

yesterday was the most gorgeous day weather wise. sun was out and nice and warm. i sat in the sun and had coffee. the sky was blue, no clouds. i could see all of the new growth on the plants (actually i noticed how neglected my garden is and badly needs some attention), the birds were singing in the trees, the planes were passing overhead. all was good. i even mowed the lawn. THEN, i woke up and it's a bit grey, but it was way early so never mind. it's quarter to nine now and it's been raining and it's cold again and dull and dreary and grey. washing is drying inside yet again. oh lovely sunny day where did you go? i miss the sun. of course, having said that, you can have your 35 plus degree days. i hate the heat waves we get. i did think that the nice weather would last a bit longer though. my friend in louisiana in the us is having hurricane warnings and it's dire over there. when i go to bali in october it's going to be hot. not too hot i hope. my friend rang the other day and said it's hot over there. if he thinks it's hot now how will i cope? although it's always hot over there, even in the wet season. we got stuck in a rain storm once and i was actually cold. hahahaha you can't win with weather can you?

TGIF

yay, it's the weekend. about time i say. better homes and gardens isn't on tonight so i'm watching a kylie kwong dvd. i love cooking programs. so relaxing. actually i'm going to watch a movie later. i paid for my trip today and am getting excited. must start packing. i'm making lists as i type. nothing much else to blog about really. it was an amazing day weather wise today or so i'm told as i was inside for most of it as usual. i brought some seeds last night, cherry tomatoes and cucumber. mandy has been inspiring me to grow stuff. i hope they are successful. last season was a bad one for tomatoes apparently. if my bil can't grow them, no-one can. he grows the best tomatoes in the world. he says it's the sheep poo. ;) i may see my daughter and g/kids tomorrow for a little while. i've got to cook and clean for sunday. it's all good. :) have a good one

a bit of this and a bit of that

i got my phone bill. it's in credit. how that happened i don't know but it's good. i went to the bank today and the teller suggested i change my account to an over 55 one. lots of benefits etc. no excess on my insurance and more interest. more free atm and withdrawals etc. sounds good. but... who the hell said i'm over 55? oh, ok it's on the screen when they bring up my details. snort. also, saw the specialist who is pleased with my progress. di is coming back on the w/end so we will catch up. i'm having lunch on sunday with her ex and his new 'lady'. she's a control freak and very very jealous. apparently she doesn't even want the ex to see di's daughter who he helped bring up since she was three. hmmm bit sad really isn't it?
