Jill and Gerard's Seachange

Typical Sunrise!!! Just Beautiful!!!

The expected temperature for today is 14 degrees celcius!!! I woke up this morning at 5.30 a.m. once again in the lounge chair!! Ashley one of my cats was fast asleep draped over me keeping me nice and warm. Gerard turned the lecky blanket off hours ago obviously not expecting me to come to bed!!! Yes it is more comfy in the chair than the bed these days... Not long after I woke, Gerard also got out of bed as he is off to Melbourne for the week and was planning to leave early for the three and a half hours drive. It is a long tedious drive for him being in the "old" E.J. Holden and also towing the trailer!! He is going to pick up some of the boxes we have in storage as I am going to a "stash and treasure" market for crafters with excess craft materials to sell. It is not easy parting with stuff and this is not stuff in the Purple Palace!!! That will be later on maybe if I can part with anything... It is not easy cause you never know when I might need something!!!

Anyway back to waking up early this morning, the skyline of the black silouette of the trees over the water become visible slowly with the orange glow appearing once again. The morning so far is mild. It is just so calming and peaceful watching the sun come up. I took some pics as you can see, unfortunately by the end of the sun rising, the cloud had come over and in the end the orange had gone, no sun shining brightly as it rose behind the clouds and then when the clouds broke apart the sun burst through and was up!

There are now patches of blue about, it has become cooler as the morning has progressed, still could be a lovely day!!

It is now 10.15 a.m. I am still in my jammies, had the remainer of the choccy fudge biscuits I made at 11p.m. last night and fee quite ill!!! So I should. So it is now back to the no food once again seeing I have had my bine for the past week!! Boy is it so hard. I lose 6 kilos and gain about 4, so at least I am still losing thank goodness, but very slowly!! It is so unfair cause I absolutely love chocolate!!!!! as most of you know. Well maybe by the time I am 70 I may be slim taut and terrific!!!!! By then it probably wont matter so much I will have given up. Why can I not just do it and stay lighter than I am. Am going to the gym now 4 times a week with my programme in place!!! No difference visible as yet, early days though. Only a few weeks in.

Anyway I have spent all morning downloading these photos as it is a lengthy operation, I have copies pics of my niece's wedding, tidied up the computer table top, sorted out junk mail to go in the bin, and found some photos I have to cut up to put in the album of the house renovations! So all is not lost with the day.. I have the telly on and all day will be on the coverage of the two miners trapped in the mine in Beaconsfield in Tasmania, imagine being in there for over 13 days??? No way, they are amazing men. Hopefully today they will be able to get through to them, they have 1.6 metres horizontally to go and then 1.3 metres vertically to actually reach them. The rock has become more difficult to get through so the men are working through the rock by hand now. Hopefully by the end of the day the men will be rescued and back with their family. They will certainly have a different outlook on their lives from now on.

The rest of the day here??? Well the wind has come up I can hear the blinds rattling in the bedroom. I am off to Mum's to give her some magazines to have a look at, do some tidying up here and get some more stuff sorted out in the palace. Have just bought 30 yes 30 magazine holders to keep my magazines and catalogues upright, plan to put them in today and then I will know how many more I need to buy!!! I know it is a lot of magazines, but I cannot part with them!!!

O.K. I am off now to get dressed and have breakky and do some stuff. Mum is off to Rye tomorrow for two weeks, so I will have some time completely to myself except have to look after the 2 dogs and the 2 cats!!! Yay no cooking!!!!! Can sleep on the floor if I want to with no hassels, can leave stuff all over the place if I want to!!!! paradise.........................

had my whinge now.

bye luv Jill. Boy has the wind got wilder, could be a bad afternoon weatherwise.
