wedding vows, work friends and a sunny afternoon

what a lovely time we had today at the wedding of Dianne and Reg. partridge house in the beach side suburb of gleneg was the very special venue.  the bride arrived in a blue corvette and looked lovely in a cream and white gown.  Dianne and Reg met at a salsa dance lesson about four years ago and have been a couple ever since.  Reg used to come into the library and fix things and i've known Dianne since i first started work at the library all those years ago. you could feel the love in the air and the small but very meaningful ceremony was quite moving.  Dianne's son recited this piece beautifully and then we then went inside for champagne and delicious finger food.  it was great to see so many friends from work attend.  the weather was chilly at first but the sun came out in the afternoon and it was cosy and warm inside that beautiful old house.   i took my old camera which is not working properly and probably needs recycling as it's no doubt expensive to repair.  my trusty phone took over and low and behold its battery soon went flat.  i did get a very nice photo though.

the happy couple

a wee cold

not really sick just feel a bit off and my nose is runny.  i've been resting as much as possible and i'm just about to go for a walk. i have a vitamin d deficiency apparently,  it's quite low.  i don't spend much time in the sun and now that it's been quite overcast lately there's not much chance of sitting in the sun for twenty minutes as directed by my doctor.  i have high cholesterol too and wonder if my three shots of coffee per day are causing it.  i'll watch my diet and see what happens.  it's sunday again and i have to wonder where the week went.  i'm going into the hospital on thursday for my next cancer check.  i'm hoping it will be ok.  my son's birthday is tuesday and i'm going to a wedding tomorrow which is the public holiday.  i hope the weather holds up for the wedding, it should be fun.  my computer problem seems to be connected (haha) to my internet connection.  i keep losing a bar from the icon and wonder if it's the phone line or the isp as i have a new modem.  neither telstra or tpg are interested.  surprised about that?  no, me either.  lol.  enjoy your sunday wherever you are. a few random pics i found on my computer.

look what happened

when i was sitting here on sunday night with a free week in front of me.  yay.  full week last week so it would be nice, thought i, to spend some time at home catching up with housework etc.  that changed rather quickly.

monday - spent a lot of time at centrelink fixing up paperwork etc and rang up about volunteering at work and a local charity shop. dinner with friend.
tuesday - birthday lunch and shopping with maz.  managed some washing and not much else.
wednesday - cookie's group are performing and i'm taking daughter and grandson.  also fixing cookie's skirt
thursday - my cousin is coming over to drop off some more family (old) photos.  i'm scanning them for her and backing them up to disc.  she has thousands of photos.  it may take me a while. :(
friday - doctor's appointment.  i had a blood test the other day.  you should see the bruise.  nothing very serious me thinks.  i hope i only have to wait ten minutes again and not the usual 1.5 hours.

anthony (g/son) may come back with me on wednesday.  we'll see.  i have no plans at this stage for next weekend or indeed next week.  i'm sure that will change.  i'm back to having nana naps.  oh dear.

goodbye

well liz has returned to cairns.  we had a great visit.  slightly too much shopping for my taste but not too bad.  i got back from the airport at 6 am yesterday morning.  it was still pitch black outside so i went back to bed.  i went to a friend's father's funeral today which, of course, was sad.  he was 90 and lived a good full life.  still very sad though.  i had lunch with maz, she made pumpkin soup from a home grown pumpkin.  yum.  i had a nice visit with her and her gorgeous little doggy, bo.  i'm his godmother.  :)  it's been nice and warm here for a week or so.  kids are all well and i haven't spoken to mike for a few days.  i have nothing new to report really.  the coffee machine is working which is a good thing and i was finally able to reinstall windows so that's good.  it's still a bit slow.  i don't know what else to do.  i've upgraded windows and d/loaded malawarebytes.  it's actually a bit faster since i ran the mb scan.  i had a big nana nap this arvo so i'm hoping that i will be able to sleep well tonight.  i've been sleeping really well since liz has been here.  it's having someone else in the house i suppose.  so, i've been neglecting my blog friends and will catch up soon i'm sure.  that's all from me for the moment.  hope everyone is well and happy

liz and i have been eating icecream whilst out shopping.  this is a sign at the old cinema at semaphore which is now an icecream shop at the front and a library on the other side.  i saw gone with the wind there a hundred years ago.
