Alessa, we're all so very sorry for you, and sending you lots of good wishes. Your mother is at peace now. Prayers heading your way. Have just sent you a PM.

matina, sending you a couple of 'snow at midnight' photos. Got down to 0 last night and then a light, wet snow began. I guess we got less than a cm but it was very beautiful while it lasted. All gone this morning . . . up to 5 degrees and sunny.

Katy, doubt you had the same down your way. My Lithgow friend experienced a similar snowfall and I think they got more out in Bathurst and Orange.

I'll write more later . . .

matina, here's what Rishi was doing last night while all the Blue Mountains snow was floating down. Glad to hear that your cleaner did his/her job. I left another voicemail message for my dishwasher guy and will try him again tomorrow. That's more or less my last job. (Although my front deck is now leaking more than I realised . . . down onto my front veranda.) Now to continue my own cleaning . . .

Thank you all. I appreciate your heartfelt sympathies very much. We’re all taking it one day at a time and trying to move on with our lives while remembering my mom and making preparations for her funeral. Tomorrow morning I’ll be at the mortuary’s temple to pray for her and to act as host when my dad’s sister in law and my cousin go to offer their prayers.

Wishing you all a good day/night.

Please remember to hug your loved ones.

Thanks.

matina, hope all is well with you today. Maybe you can have a good rest. I drove over to Bunnings and Mitre 10 yesterday. Both are nearly side by side in the little industrial area between Leura and Katoomba. Still some snow visible here and there. Someone had built a tiny snowman next to one of the hotels!

Katy, when I stepped out on my front deck, just before midnight, the white snow had covered it so evenly that I didn't even see it. And so I slipped (wearing my nifty rubber gardening 'feed the birds' slip-ons) and nearly fell! It was amazing and almost a cm deep. Still possible that we could get more this winter. No, I'm not giving up on my dishwasher guy! Am going to keep ringing him!

KATHY good luck at the doctors. mum and i went to the podiatrist all is well and i also go to see the physio whilst in the same building, awesome i had been meaning to go but with everything on and etc i hadn't had the chance.

Katoomba scene and sky . . . photographed during my recent visit.

Katy, hope the doctor's appointment went well.

matina, yes, I'm being very careful! Snow is all gone, in any case. Glad you and your mother had good podiatrist visits and you also got your shoulder loosened up.

More good wishes to Alessa . . . we're all thinking of you.

Quiet evening ahead . . . will start the fire soon . . . bye for now . . .

Hi :wave:

Good morning Pj oooh stuffed toy puppies were they for sale :? I'd love one though they probably cost the earth :D we've just got a new Bunnings opened around the corner from us they are also building a new shopping centre for the area so many new houses being built sad to say the farmland is slowly disappearing :( lucky our market gardeners are holding firm against developers for how long I don't know :? A beautiful sunny day enjoying coffee on the back verandah watching our friends tend to the vege garden :D matina its about time for my visit to the hairdresser enjoy :)
Take care everyone :D

matina, I hope your shoulder is feeling better today. Are you staying home? Sending lots of good wishes for a quick recovery. Visitors later, so will be doing a bit of cleaning up today. Have been watching cockies and rosellas just now.

Katy, nice to hear about your enjoying your coffee in the sunshine while watching your neighbouring farmers! I was out in the backyard earlier, with Sunnya, enjoying the sun . . . while it lasted. Too chilly to sit there when the clouds roll in. I can imagine that your area is in danger of developing. In fact, the whole of western Sydney is going to change with the new airport. I think it will affect the mountains too, probably right up to Springwood. Am so grateful that I can look out my windows and see nothing but the National Park. I thank my lucky stars every day. I can't remember if those puppies were in Bunnings or in Mitre 10. I visited both the other day.

Bye for now, everyone . . .

HELLO ALL!
PJ what beautiful camellias!
KATHY enjoy the hairdressers i know i did but it was a long day for us my aunty isn't looking all that good lately ;-(
I have been recently trying to track down immunisation history after contacting my home towns medical center. I was told that if a patient hasn't been there for more than 10 years they destroy the records. well i am really miffed as back then everything was on paper for the life of me i don't know why they destroy such sensitive and still usable important patient information they could have easily stored it on micro fiche then upgraded them to the current technology as now a patient cant access when they had what vaccinations or any part of their childhood medical record even if a patient dies family members may need to find out from what they really died of etc family allergies conditions etc. but we have a government that collects censis crap but gives medical practices and hospital permission for a persons personal medical records to be destroyed. when a patient may and will need access too at some point in the future. hell not even medicare did their job by collecting vaccination certificates. It just blows my mind!
I realise that one can do a serology blood test but it wont tell you they date of when the vaccination occurred to see if you need or can have a booster shot, especially in the current time we live in with small pox and polio becoming prevalent again, and who knows what else. in our country town the council even got in on the act of vaccinating us for rubella and a few other vaccinations but even they haven't kept record of what they did and to whom (bloody slack indeed) they keep bloody newspapers published on microfiche why not they same for precious crucial patient records and update it to new media as the times change when this will provide more information than censis forms ever will especially concerning vaccination side effects records etc
well that is my whinge of the day.
be safe everyone and god bless you all. tell folks you love them.

matina, during the time of my big triple-bypass op, back in October 2018, I gradually realised that if I didn't keep my own personal records, I couldn't count on the medicos knowing what was going on with me. I so I have my own complete 'paper' medical records stored in nifty blue folders, . . . especially good since I have a new GP and will see a new cardio in October. Visitors have come and gone . . . fire going . . . fuzzies well. Probably garage cleaning tomorrow afternoon.
