The silly things some people do.

I am including myself in this group, as I , like everybody have done things when we have not been consentrating properly.
I had an appointment at the hairdresser this morning. Hubby drove me and then waited in the car. He had to go to the chemist nearby, and I was surprised that he was not in the car when I had finished. I waited about 15 minutes for him. He told me as we were driving home, that a lady was trying to put her key in the wrong car lock. I ascertained he meant our car. Her car was a Mazda further along the row of cars,,ours is a Ford.
I asked him if he was in the car at the time. He said he was. I can imagine how embarrassed she must have been when she realized her mistake and saw him, a total stranger, sitting there.

Losing the plot, who's losing the plot? Not me!

I have been subjected to pitying looks and head shaking in the past, for having 'senior moments', but hubby takes the biscuit in that department.
He went to the farm this morning and intended to stay overnight. He packed the Esky to that purpose, and made a thermos of tea. I did some washing and generally mooched around the place. I watched some videos and mucked around on the computer.
I was coming and going outside most of the day. I got a shock therefore when I heard a familiar voice calling from the back door about 5.30 pm, "Is anybody home?" I thought I was hearing things. It was fairly dark inside as I usually only have the desk light on.
I got up to investigate and was dumbfounded to bump into hubby. I asked him what he was doing home and his reply was," Are you blind or something?' I asked what he meant and he said he had left his food in the Esky on the back verandah. I had walked past it many times and had not seen it!
The irony is folks, I am almost blind. Have been all my life.
So much for ME going dippy. Tch,tch. I said he must have been hungry, but he said he had gone in to Naracoorte and bought some cheese and bacon rolls. He did remember to take his thermos of tea.

Mother's Day/ Stupid chair!

I know it is nearly a week since we had Mother's Day, but I have not felt like blogging untill now.
I usually have a bleak Mother's day, as I usually spend it at home missing my family. The day was started off by hubby cooking me breakfast, and no, it was not a bit of burnt toast and a cup of tea. He cooked bacon and an egg and toast and made a cup of tea, and it was all done to perfection. He and our son also gave me some money which I have put away as I want to buy a DVD/VCR combo with HD tuner so I can dispense with the set top box. This year I had a wonderful day. My husband and I were invited to our daughter's for a BBQ lunch.
We had fabulous weather and a terrific few hours with our daughter and her family. Lunch was eaten inside and consisted of home made burgers, sausages and steak. We had one of our girl's lovely salads too. She does know how to make a mean green salad with prawns. Yum!I also recieved two boxes of chos from my daughter and her family.
To cap things off nicely, my son sent me a wondeerful ecard, and phoned me.
After lunch I played cards with the boys, and tried to interact with our grand daughter as well. She is three and had just received her first bycycle with trainer wheels. She takes to everything like the proverbial duck to water.
We also went outside and the boys played a sort of cricket with a tennis ball and racquet. Grand daughter got a two gallon bucket and tried to make sand castles. She was a bit disappointed when I said I could not get down on the ground to play with her. [So was i just quietly.] The sand was not damp enough to retain it's shape.
Yesterday our daughter, hubby and daughter came here to do their grocery shopping. Willow wanted to get in to my rocker recliner and was not having any luck, as every time she tried it tipped forward. She got a bit frustrated and muttered, "Stupid chair" Her mum put her in it and she rocked away quite happily.
