Mum's - Claremont, Perth WA

TOOK BLOG OFF THE PUBLIC ARENA

Last night was a bit of a blur really. Greg met Aiden`, his son, in Perth City to help him move his furniture over to Alena's (his daughter's house) because he can't get a house that's suitable.

Mum and I got into a sort of a frenzied conversation about who was coming to Rottnest. Mum has taken over a villa over there that my sis in law, Jo, originally had set aside for herself. She changed her booking to suit some friends so Mum said she'd take it. Annie was going for a week with her..and Greg and i were going for a week. The only thing is...that was a year ago.

Situations have changed.

Annie has met a man. And he is someone she wants to spend time with..so even though she is using the excuse that she can't leave her cats and so can't come over to Rotto for the full week..i've got this little feeling it's because she wants to spend her time with John!

So. Mum wanted to know if she's coming for the whole week or just for a partial week.

She came over for dinner, which Mum cooked (yummy baked chicken drumsticks and salad!), and when the question arose....."will you be coming for the whole week?" Annie was too tired to fully answer and muttered something about coming for a few days over the long weekend, with John coming over on his boat, and i think, really, she didn't really want to disappoint Mum by saying she only wanted to come for the whole week.

After much discussion Mum decided to ask Brenda, a friend of Mum's, and who is a lady Greg and I have been to Rotto with before and really like.

So..that was resolved.

We've been feeling a bit unsettled since we came back. I've been feeling Very Anxious. Greg's been feeling flat.

It's so nice seeing Mum..and Annie and all my family. But it's this innate feeling that 'it's all over' that keeps niggling away.

Greg arrived home about midnight, exhausted from all the moving. But he was happy because he'd seen his kids. It was quality time with them, even though they were moving they were spending important time together.

He wanted to see his brother David and wife Angie but unfortunately they were not home. He had a swing he was dropping off (garden seat swing) so when they got home they'd see the swing sitting there!!! But! Not Greg!!!

We'll catch up with them when we get back from Gero!

I went to my hairdressers and got my hair cut and coloured today!!! It was SO nice goign to the hairdresser and knowing she'd cut it just as i wanted. She remembered me..and we caught up on all the year's goss.

Greg got his haircut too.

So now we're new people!

We also bought papers to check out cars to buy....yep, we have to buy and ol bomb to see us through while we get settled in again...

It's like starting all over again!
