Welcome to Monday - another week and a nice day here in Adelaide.  Sun shining and again we have the promise of showers, but from the look of my sky - I doubt that will happen.

School holidays here and Grace and Henry are spending time in Adelaide with Grandpa - both have dental appointments today  so it's not all fun. 

As normal for their City visits that little family is on the run trying to fit so much into a few days, but this time they are hoping to have fun.  We may all go out to breakfast on Wednesday - which will be lovely.

I have a busy week this week - Dentist tomorrow, Podiatrist on Wednesday and hairdresser on Thursday, but it is great to feel well enough to cope with all of those things and a breakfast out too.

I started to do some knitting - had this brilliant idea that I would knit little "cupcakes" with a Christmas theme and display them on a Cup Cake stand, but having knitted one I realize that they are not quite "me".  I will have to find something else to knit or crochet.   Trouble is I don't sit still for long enough any more in the evenings and most nights I am in bed very early.  

I did manage to watch some television last night in bed, without falling asleep so that's a good thing.  A little while ago I found three DVDs that I haven't watched yet.  I forgot about them.  What I need is a rainy afternoon with no appointments and then I can settle in for a session.

Chaos at Australian Airports yesterday with the computer crash of one of the airline systems - and this chaos is running over into today and there are lots of people stranded who should be home for work this morning.  Alexis flew with a different Airline so she was okay - and I guess Naomi is hoping it is all cleared up by Friday.  They are driving back to Adelaide with Alexis parents.

No word from London so am using the old adage -"no news is good news."

I hope they are having a great time.

I can hardly believe that next weekend is the Labour Day weekend here in Australia and the last Public Holiday before Christmas - where has the year gone?  I guess I slept the first quarter of it away in hospital and then spent a few more months gaining strength and health. Those appointments always keep me busy too - I keep a Diary and Heaven help me were I to ever lose it.

Have a wonderful day - I wish you the joy of laughter and friendship, a clear and peaceful mind and the knowledge that you are loved.

Love and hugs,
