American Indepenance Day

This makes me think of the movie with Will Smith. A movie that I really
enjoyed. But I wonder how many Australians know what the day is really
about. That there was a war fought between the British who 'owned' the
colony and the people of the colony who wanted to rule themselves and be
independent from the British Empire. Needless to say the Americans won
and that is why there is an USA today.

Sam Throws A Wobblie

After we had the party at the club for Meg's birthday she said
that we could come back to her place for birthday cake.

However I could not as that was also the day that Karen Richardson
buried her brother Henry.

She had asked if I would come and pick up Sam as the pub does not
like kids under 13 being there after 9 p.m.as they were having
the wake at the Royal Exchange.

So I said to Meg to save me apiece of cake, WHICH SHE DID NOT.

I dropped Cliff off at his house and went to the pub. As so as
Sam saw me he said he did not want to go. Chris tried to coax
him by giving him money for the football machine and although
he took the money HE STILL REFUSED TO GO.

We all went outside but he said that he wanted to stay. He was
really working himself up. Eventually Karen said that it did
not matter, she would go home with him instead if I would be kind
enough to drive them, but HE STILL REFUSED TO GO. At that stage
I would have given him a swift kick up the butt if he had of been
my child.

But no Chris and Karen explained to him about the time and hotel
policy and HE STILL REFUSED TO GO. Chris went to take his arm and
put him in the car and he ran off around the corner down the street
near the ANZ bank. Karen and Chris ran after him.

My New Doctor.

At first I thought it was great having a female doctor
but now I'm having doubts. Every time I mention some
thing that is bothering me, she doesn't do anything
about it at the time but makes another appointment
for me for a further two weeks away. So that I have
been going to see her every fortnight for nearly five
months. Which is the most I have seen a doctor in years.

Of course every time I go she gets more money from the
government but I hope that is not what she is doing.

I am just sick of going as I have to wait nearly an hour
every time and though I read or do crossword puzzles
it is still becoming annoying.

I can't see why she can't do it all in the one session!!!
