Sad news
Well here I am with my feet up on the swing with Tamyka squashed up at the smelly end (feet). It is a glorious day once again here, but we had found this morning that the Plovers four eggs are missing even thought the Plovers are still hanging around so we think someone may have removed them cause they were swooping at the people who got a bit too close to the nest. Tamyka's holiday with us is almost at an end, sadly as we have been having a good time together and also having time with mum as well. Last night we cooked up a big pot of scalloped potatoes for tea and then Tamyka, mum and I sat in the double bed that Tamyka is sleeping in and ate all the potatoes and watched a DVD together. We enjoyed ourselves immensely singing there was three in the bed and the little one said!!!!!!!!What have we been doing all the week as it has been quite a while since I have written in here. Well last Tuesday we removed almost everything out of the Purple Palace and put down a four metre square piece of carpet and yes it is purple. Then we had to put everything back into it's place again. IT only took us one and a quarter hours to take the stuff out, but it took up two and a half hours to put it all back again!!! Boy were we exhausted after that. All of our backs were aching and we were rather tired!! I have so much craft stuff that needs to be sorted out and hopefully now I will be able to get through it all as the renovations to the house are coming to a completion. We have had the electrician in finishing off putting in the downlights, he also connected the oven up, also on Saturday he will be back to connect up the hotplates and the exhaust fan so then the kitchen is just about done. Just a small piece of timber is missing and then covering in at the ceiling area. We have the floating floors done now in the kitchen, front entrance and halls which I really like. I had someone in to measure up for curtains and blinds and that will take about 5 weeks before they are installed. Pat the painter has his son coming around on Saturday and he will be plastering up all the holes in the ceilings where we took out all of the old light fittings and also all of the screw holes where the ceiling has popped!! Then Pat will be here for goodness knows how long to get started with painting the inside of the house. I would have loved the challenge to do it all, but my back won't let me!!
Tamyka and I have been going for our morning walks feeding the swans and looking for some babies, unfortunately we did see one baby dead in the water. We have spotted a few large dead fish in the water and wonder why? Oh yes we actually saw an adult with a baby plover the other day, the baby was just so cute!!
My friend Kaye arrived here while Tamyka and I were out for a walk so she met us on the walking track and we sat in the sun watching a chap on his large kite with a surf board type thingy with slots for his feet skimming along the water and getting up a lot of speed. We felt he was showing off a bit cause he had an audience for a while, we wanted to rush home and get some paper and a texta and hold up the paper with some score on it for each time he did a trick!! He was very good even though we have not watched anyone before doing this. He managed to leap out off the water quite high at times.
This afternoon we are going to go to collect Mum and go to the shops then bring her home here as Tamyka is cooking us dinner. I don't know what we are having as it is a surprise so I will let you know tomorrow what it is, I am sure it will be lovely.
Well this is only a short one today as we must get a wiggle on and seeing it is such a good day take mum for a walk to the shops as it is a small stroll away.
til next time
luv Jill and Tamyka!!!

Ahha so that is what you girls have been up to....its like pulling hens teeth getting stuff out of Tamyka especially on msn!!! I had a heap of things I was wanting to get done whilst she was away but because of being online most of the nights I didn't achieve much. I did however get my tax done....thank goodness. Now I will have to wait and see if I get a refund or have to pay....I'm hoping it will come my way I could do with some extra at the moment.
Sounds like you have enjoyed having my girl to play with. She is good company. I have missed her while she was gone but it was a very relaxed feeling knowing she was in good hands. She arrived home safely with a big smile on her face. Hasn't shared alot with me since she got home but I dare say that will come out in time. She is watching the Simpsons at the moment....a sound i haven't missed.
I asked her if she would like to go back again if she was invited and without hesitation she said yes. I'd say she enjoyed herself.
Her little book is lovely, thank you for showing her how to make it. That is something I haven't done alot of with her spending time doing those things I wish I could have fitted into our lives.
She says she is like you and Nesta as she has started snorting lol lol lol where that laughing girl when you need her hey!!
Sad about the plover eggs....I hope a fox didn't get them. Hopefull someone has taken them home and is nurturing them to hatch.
I had last night out with Tina and her boyfriend and her daughter. It was good with lots of laughing. We went to dinner...I was fairly good having an entree risotto....no creamy sauce. I was good to catch up with her again.
Tamyka said you forgot the cards for Leslie!!! I was all ready to get them of Meeks and drop them in on our way home. Hope she won't be angry.
I am dying to come up and see the finished product in your house, it will be so nice for you to have it completed. Also the carpet in the pp.
I can't thank you enough for having Tamyka, as I have said before she doesn't get much of a break at holiday time because of me working. She does spend all her time inside with the blinds shut watching dvd's and thats about it.
Thank you Jill and Gerard for having her. Please let me know if you are out of pocket for anything!!!
Well is dinner time....I'm feeling slack as my week even though relaxing not having to nag etc has been exhausting work wise. Hopefully next week will be better.
Take care and keep the news coming.
Love Machele and Tamyka.
