Happy Birthday Nan

97 today!

On my usual Sunday visit Yesterday I took her some flowers, but she was sleeping, so I dozed in the chair beside her bed. Lucky I didn't wake her because I may have passed on this cold that seems to have hit me from no-where!

When I was little i'd go and stay with Nan ALL the time, i'd sleep in the same bed as her cause her house was big and scary, she used to make funny noises with her mouth when she slept, she was doing that yesterday and it made me smile. She has no idea who I am, and probably wouldn't even notice if I never came to visit, but hopefully soon she'll be able to appreciate that she wasn't a 'mother forgotten' and left alone in the nursing home. It's a really intense place to be sometimes! It smells funny and old people make crazy noises when they are distressed! Nan is still very independant the only thing missing is her memory, and her sight and hearing aren't the best.

Things I remember about nan:

She was an amazing cook- Brandy Snaps, Four layered chocolate birthday cakes, peanut biscuits.

She loved a cup of tea (and still does)

Eating porridge and listening to abc news on the wireless

The smell of her art shed, where she created amazing water colours and bark pictures

Going for bike rides where she refused to let go of the seat and made me stop at EVERY drive way incase a car was coming.

Walking up to the cake shop or the newsagent

Her long nails which she always made sure were clean

Trying to teach me how to make a pav. or how to peel carrots properly etc.

Her beautiful garden, and picking raspberries off the bush that ran up her driveway.

The way she'd fuss over Jessica (Careful you'll break her little arms)

I only wish i'd listened more and learnt some of her skills before she forgot them.

I love my nan.

The wonders of make-up...

Okay...so it's been a while...I guess not much as being going on...so nothing really to report...Just kidding...nah but seriously...never find the time to blog atm... So I headed north this weekend and a few of the YSA had a get together on Saturday...we decided...(after much deliberation in hj's) to head to the bouncy pillow at Grinderwald...it's SO much fun! Danny, Sam, Hayden and I had a great time bouncing around all the little kids!...Anyho...we decided to play the 'crack the egg' game...a trampoline favourite...Danny was brave and went first....I was next...I curled my self up into a ball...on my back....they bounced....I flipped over backward...kneeing myself in the face in the process...it REALLY hurt....
Check out the shiner.... would have been HEAPS cooler had I been in a punch up or something....but no...this was self inflicted...pretty funny...and a little embarrasing...so time to try and cover it up for church...

...not to bad...but general FAIL...as I still had to explain a million times..."What happened to your eye?"

Tasmanian Lolly

Yes..it's a two headed snake!

Pancakes...

Fiona and I headed out for late night pancakes...somewhere in Melbs...with an amazing train...yum...not a good post for fast sunday,
end.
