Rain after such a long summer

Firstly I would like to start by saying a big thank you to Diane for sending a signed picture of Bernie (hugo) from Home and Away..

My kids love you...They want it framed and hung up on the wall...

Oh and my daughter wants to know if you have Bernie`s number as she reckons he is a bit of a hottie...lol

This week has been a bit of a challenge for us all as hubby`s mum has been in and out of hospital...It`s at the stage now where she is bed ridden as her legs have given up on her...

We have a social worker speaking with her as it is getting to the point where at home care unfortunately isn`t an option any longer...

I think she knows this herself but it doesn`t make it any easier trying to make decisions on her behalf...

We just want her to be happy and comfortable...

And then there is always "one" trouble maker within a family...

Stress which everyone can do without at a time like this...

Kids are on the mend..Still lots of coughing going on but thankfully over the worst...

Today and for the next few days we are in for one big rain storm, something we here in South Australia haven`t seen for a long time....

I`ve had to put away all the outdoor furniture as the weather bureau is saying we could get up too 50 mls....

My garden is really going to enjoy this....

Actually I thinks most South Aussies will....
