Re: Hello, goodbye and what are you doing today...


Glad all is well on your side K .... and thanks for understanding. Must really try to nose in here more often. As far as I know Mo is okay on the whole, just very busy with family and the usual ups and downs we all go through. We spoke on the phone last week.

Today we have to go in to Pietermaritzburg for the day to do some shopping, and check up on our friends who I mentioned in my last post, R and C. So, will whiz "down the hill" in my little Jazz, which I love! It's about a half hour drive from here, depending on traffic.

With spring here, mating season has begun for all the animals and wildlife, and at the moment we have about 50 Egyptian Geese fighting for supremacy and trying to impress the females. Very noisy! But interesting to watch - they get quite vicious and the males attack each other both in the air, and in the water ... and the females stir up trouble!! Some have already paired off, but others are still showing off.

My sister in law is a little better it seems, so fingers crossed.

I'm satisfied with some ducks and occasional swan here. I think geese prefer south coast.

Re:


Hi there. I can't really talk about our issues outside the family but just briefly, we're going through a process of diagnosis for disability for one of my sons, which is a little stressful with all the red tape it involves. Once it's all settled, I'll probably be a bit more relaxed.

Re:


We have our grand-daughter with us and it has been great fun; although now almost a teenager, life with her is a lot different now! Still great, but different ... to be expected! She goes home tomorrow and the week has gone in a flash, and we'll miss her. A lot.

We've all been invited out to dinner at the local Portuguese restaurant tonight, so looking forward to that. I am so so so so so tired of cooking, and food. Am about to give it up permanently, with luck.

Hope everyone has a great weekend - from next week things should be back to normal - almost - for a while.

Re: Hello, goodbye and what are you doing today...


I've been losing weight, something like 5 kilos in year or two. Don't think I've been this low for 5-10 years, this is pretty much ideal weight for me. If only that included a bit more muscle...

Re:


Lucky you K! I have gained far too much weight - I used to be slim and trim, and now .... thanks to insulin and other medications, my weight is higher than it has ever been.

Re:


I don't care about weight anymore. I've stopped bothering. Anyone who feels entitled to comment on my fat arse, can kiss it.

Things and stress are still ongoing. It's a long process getting an insurance company to recognise how big a problem autism is for people in a country where you're expected to "just get over yourself" when the outside world is full of stimuli that cause you to freak out. They expect you to get on with working in a world where those stimuli are part of every single experience in your waking day, and that you're required to take time off from the world where other people are just insensitive to how badly you're affected by bright lights, continuous noise, people talking over the noise of machines, television, music , and where they think nothing of interrupting you when you want to escape to a quiet place where there is no noise. Then you have to deal with the travelling to and from work, and the business of living with people who insist they're not deaf, so they turn the television up loud!

So we fight on. Hopefully the insurance company will recognise this and allow the man to stop worrying about being dependent on elderly parents on a pension. That's about it. So please excuse me if my visits are sporadic and if I rant a little when I do appear. The stress is on me too, because I also have the problem of autism, ADD, and GAD. Living down the road from idiots burning the city isn't helping.

Kaunisto, please just issue me with the URL for a picture you think is ok for me to use as an avatar, I really don't have the spoons right now to stress about an avatar.
