You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

I woke up to a truly hilarious email from my daughter in Perth describing highlights from her family life over the last month. She had me in fits of giggles despite telling me she had pneumonia in August, has another MS drug infusion coming up in October and then a partial hysterectomy in November to clear more of the endometriosis tissue. I cannot help feeling some comfort from the thought that some of the simply obstinacy I had to exert while raising her under challenging circumstances has obviously rubbed off, and while it may have made our relationship fraught for long periods of time good stuff is never really lost, there are always silver linings. And boy, those grandkids of mine are just like her, bright, beautiful, and oh such little devils...

Life is good up here in the big city on this Spring morning.

It gets even better - with luck, you'll get to see your offspring dealing with their very own teenagers!
There's nothing quite as satisfying.



M O T H's can indeed be expensive to keep, & often a  pain in the proverbial as well, but handy sometimes.

A successful mornings hunting & scored another two of those gorgeous trivets so only one more to get. One has a lovely Pohutukawa on it & the other a couple of fantails, really colourful.


Also found the chocolate for granddaughter's looming birthday. She's vegan so can't eat all of them.

The only thing I couldn't get were the Schmacko's for Madame le Dog; she adores them & is very low on supplies but so it seems, are the shops. So I chanced it & got a very small packet of a similar product while crossing fingers they get more schmackos in before she runs out.
I'm now officially knackered & have no intention of doing anything else for the rest of the day.
