Well despite the fact that Dorothy left my inheritance
of $150,000 to Cancer Research and I am struggling on
a government benifit. I decided to hold a big morning
tea fund raiser. I send 30 invites by mail and hand
delivered another 30 with an R.S.V.P. and guess how many
replies I got? ZIP, that's right none, a big fat zero.
Where are people's manners these days? I really believe
that people are forgetting the niceities of life.

TAFE 2009
I received a communication from TAFE inviting me to
participate in this year's writing course, but as it
was poetry with Violeta I decided that I would not
waste my money.
I am still waiting on the feed back from my final
'short story' submission from last year. Beryl said
that she received hers back last week but thought it
was because she is doing the poetry class this year.
So how long do I have to wait?

Jess Turns 16!
Jess's birthday was Wednesday 20th May. We celebrated
by going to...Kath and Nathan had to borrow $50 to go
but feed the kids before hand so it did not cost too
much. I was disappointed that Donald did not tkae his
kids, as I'm sure that Karen would have done the same
thing for him.
Jason came for Angela but not Brad. Meg also went solo,
though Mark had coome over just before we left wanting
to know did she want to watch a video with him. She said
that she had other arrangements and that it was his fault
that he was missing out on seeing 'the other side of the
family.'
The restrauant ask us to leave at 9 p.m. but they had
forgotten to bring out the birthday cake! All up the
service was very slow! It cost Cliff $33 for our tea
and $55 for drinks, but he was the only one who shouted
anyone else a drink!
Much to Jess's disappontment Melissa did not come nor
did she allow any of the biys to come even though Jared
wanted to come!

Meeting Pam Again
On Saturday I went to Kim's with Cliff and met Pam
again. The last time I met her was at Gosford
nearly 20 years ago. She is certainly not looking
well and not keepinp her age. She looks closer to
75 than 70. But I have to laugh as she claims she
is only 67 and Don Snr said she was two years younger
than he was so that makes her 69 this year.
She is still a lovely lady to talk to and most lady
like in her mannerisms it's hard to see her having
an affair behind her husband's back but that is what
she did. So manners doesn't make the person.
She was saying that she and Kim are leaving on Friday
morning and they hope to be 'home' by Monday. She
is not enjoying the cold.
Angela was saying that she came down about 8 years ago
when she and Jason were to marry and though the wedding
was cancelled, it was too late for Pam to get a refund
so she came down. That is the only other time she has
come. But I did not caught up with her then.

Wind
...and I am not talking flatulence, is a terrible
thing. Bad enough when a day is cold and wet but
when you add wind it makes the day a 100% more
miserable.

"He's Not That into You"
Loved reading this, but like all relationship books
it really is aimed at women.
Perhaps that is because men don't do relationships.
Yet truth be told THEY are the ones in need of help!
I guess it's because they just don't care! I'd love
to see a book "She's not that into You" and what men
have to do to improve their relationship with the
woman they are dating!

Mother's Day 10th May 2009
This must have been one of the best Mother's Days EVER!
Meg came around about 2 p.m. and I was reading "He's Just
Not That Into You." So we talked about the book for about
half and hour as she is reading it too.
Then she went and made me pancakes with maple syrup and
banana pieces YUM!
After we ate we talked about our relationships. (Brought
on by reading the book of course!)
I spent 19 hours in bed on Mother's Day! It was lovely just
a pity I could not get more sleep but as usual Ross had his
music on TOO loud.
Meg left at 3.30 p.m to go and move her stuff out of Simon's.
Donald was helping her. He had rung in the morning to wish
me Happy Mother's Day and Meg said he was coming over after
they moved her stuff but he never turned up which was a
disappontnment.
I had barely got to sleep when Kath, Nathan and the MOB turned
up just before 4.30 p.m. Both girls gave me lovely cards.
I understand that no one has a lot of money at the moment.
After they left at 5.30 p.m. Cliff came to bed and as usual
was asleep and snoring within two minutes, but I was really
tired and went off to sleep too. Waking up at 7 p.m.
As I wanted to watch "Bones" and he didn't he went back to
bed. I think it is terrible for a healthy man to be sleeping
so much. He sleeps abot 12 hours a day!
I also said that it was about time Cliff stopped 'taking' the
boys to visit their mother's grave on Mother's Day. After all
she was not his mother and the 'boys' are 28 and 29 and Keith
does drive so they are quite capabale of going themselves and
Cliff said if he didn't take them they would not remember and
I said well that was their problem not his after all they are
not children but MEN!
