Unlike my mood...the sky's blue where I am... yet making all look bright and happy! Such is the contradiction in our language! Off for beach walk where contradiction comes only from gulls who peacefully mill around then suddenly fight over a potato chip. Bit like humans! 🤣 ❤️

Two little strawberries in my garden went to an Underground FancyDressBall last night; had a whale of a time they told me...being a rabbit and a hedgehog!

Think my tame but wild Magpie Henri understands my routine's changed. No longer waits on the corner for me to return home. And today, he walked with me (well hopped and flew then waited till I caught up) and we made a sandcastle on the beach. #beakdigger 🤣 ♥️

When one's motivated to do something thrice weekly for 6 months...then suddenly can't, because of principle...alternatives pop up; joyful things like feeding plants, animals and the lowly wormfarm occupants; birdwatching, writing letters to loved ones & creating silly poems! 🤣♥️

How different can it be?
How different can it get?
No swimming
So I went for walk
And still got thoroughly wet! 🤣

Now that's true... I'll give you that, dear Dorothy! 🤣❤️

Can't thank you all enough for your kind words over my swimming/drama class setback. Disappointment is a pointless weight to carry around; so I've rallied, forgiven and am ready to try to do something of value somewhere, somehow. Have a beautiful day! ♥️

Gutted today but integrity comes first. My offer out of gratitude of weekly drama class (accepted by enthusiastic residents in Aged Care above complex pool I attend) has been reduced - no discussion, to one half hr class per month. No managerial support so have resigned from my swimming dream. 😢

Have just returned from 1st practice session after 1st swimming lesson Friday! Oh my! Beyond cruel that I have to think of TWO things AT THE SAME TIME! Yikes! If I'm going to kick with head in the water I also have to breathe - who knew? Maybe aim for the Masters when 100! 🤣🤣🤣

Jumed into water at a ridiculous hr and did all I thought was preparation for 1st lesson with new Instructor. Then had to undo most of it.🤣 Lesson was wonderful. Grateful for spending last 5 months strengthening limbs. She really believes this previous floppy rag doll will be able to swim. Yay! 😊

Back in the swim of things tomorrow. Serious bizness ahead with new coach bravely preparing to give me Lesson1 on Friday! Hear she's taken out an Insurance Policy - for herself, not me! 🤣 Sleep heartily. ❤️

ME: How many steps at Royal Melbourne Show, Mr Pedometer?
P: 11
ME: Ridiculous, I walked all day!
P: Ya didn't give me time to say "Thousand"
ME: Well lift your game!
P. Lift ya feet, you sat down 3 times, could've done 12,000
ME: No I couldn't
P. Pfft!
ME: Not wearing you today!

Given that I was picked up at 8:30am and have just now been dropped home from my day with family at the Royal Melbourne Show... I'm appropriately bezausted!🤣Had a fabulous time, did AllTheThings...and yes OK I succumbed to a ShowBag but only ONE! So grateful - love my family! ❤️

No swimming tomorrow - being taken to Royal Melbourne Show by family - am as excited as an overwound clock. Love the animals and produce and woodchopping and cake decorating and yes... of course I'll buy a Showbag full of things hopelessly unsuitable. Yay! 🤣

Grew up in loving family of 6, of which I'm grateful to be the survivor. Memories of 3 of them today - 1 October being my parents Wedding Anniversary and my older brother's birthday. All still with me in spirit as I attempt to make the most of every day. ♥️

May we all sleep the sleep of an innocent child… makes it so much easier tomorrow to deal with the adult we’ve become! 🤣❤️

Just home from trial drama workshop with residents in Aged Care facility above pool I attend! Was a very thought-provoking walk home. They were wonderful - some on walkers, some in wheelchairs - all sorts of health challenges but Oh the courage! Happy tears, think it's a goer! ♥️
September 29, 2025 at 7:12 AM
Hope you're all having a lovely Sunday - (all GeelongFC supporters exempt from having to reply.) Didn't think I'd ever do this but am actually sacrificing (hear the virtue?) my swimming session tomorrow. 2nd visit to wonderful residents above pool to discuss drama classes. Yay!😊

Feeling perky after 9hrs sleep! Bus sailed way past my bus stop yesterday - adding many steps to reach 10,000 for the day.😱 Catching up with much of family today - 11 of us at lunch - what a hoot. Have a beautiful day with at least one serving of fun.😂❤️
September 19, 2025 at 9:42 PM
I'm off to bed... 5am and the pool await! Head feels so light now with crewcut that I'll have to put a weight on my forehead to stop it floating upwards! 🤣 Sleep well, you lot! Kindness is the password for tomorrow! ❤️
September 18, 2025 at 9:45 AM
Just had a crewcut! WHAAAT? Yes I have...and I love it. Hairdresser was astonished, yet delighted. "We'll be edgy" she said with enthusiasm, waving her clippers in the air. And edgy it is! And I'm so happy! Never let anyone tell you you're too old for.... [fill in the blank!]! 😂

Came home from a very determined attempt to kick all the water out of the pool today and ended up sleeping for an hour. Now I'm wide awake! Ah! The perversity of following one's dreams - but am loving it! Sleep well! 😊 ❤️

One does this when one is silly enough to rise at 5am but even sillier when sleep rarely visits before 10pm. 🤣Alright... I do read in bed - childhood habit. 😊 Was so lovely to have so many conversations today. Sending love to say 'thank you'! ❤️

Have just spent three hours filling two Green Bins from my little garden... would never have lasted without the strength gained from my Learning to Swim project. So happy! 'Never too late!' 😊💓
