Lucky August

Goodbye winter!  Australia is now into spring season which started 8 days ago.  Our night time still gets abit cold at times but our daytime temperatures are lovely when we have full sunny days.  

At long last, August was the best month I had in six years.  Other years I had the news of someone in hospital or death.  This time it was a good month with no flu from either my Rachel or myself. I actually had a lucky streak of winning raffles too.  I won cash at bowling twice, a stamp set at craft and two dinner vouchers at the club.


One lunch with craft friends at a local pub in Ipswich, a surprise morning at a craft meet and three dinner dates at a club, only because I had free vouchers from the clubs I am a member at.  On my birthday I had a buffet dinner with Rachel at Broncos League Club.


But the best highlight of August was seeing two concerts:  Pseudo Echo and Daryl Braithwaite. Seeing Pseudo Echo has been my dream for two decades. And to make my night even better I got to meet the lead singer "Brian Canham" in person. Another fan taken a photo of us on my behalf and Brian signed my CD.

Also I went to a rubber stamp camp at the common venue spot where I go to scrapbooking camps.  Because I was on a waiting list for possible attendance, it came to a surprise to find out three days beforehand I could attend (as two members dropped out).  I couldn't show up until Saturday morning as I was out at Daryl Braithwaite concert on Friday night. I had a great time and been productive on completing their workshops, make and take classes and started on creating Christmas cards for my card list.


Until the next report, enjoy your start of spring season!
