Getting older!

WOW!  Winter is coming a close soon.  It might be cold in southern states still but Queensland will start warming up.  We had one summer temperature day while the EKKA in Brisbane was on this month. Today is the first day in ages since we had seen any rain this winter.  I don't know how many of readers around the world had heard or seen in the media reports about the severe drought our farmers are experiencing in Australia.  Some farmers haven't seen rain for about five years now.  Afew organisations had organised a fund raise event to help our farmers.

Almost time to say Goodbye to August later this week.  Still have the cough virus.  I had heard it could take up to three months to quit.  When it first started in June I suspected the virus was going to hang around for most of the winter season.  When we had comfortable warm temperatures my cough did stop for part of the day but as soon as night time begins the coughing attacks comes back  I did get worse once I am in bed.  I had a lot of late nights because of this cough and a lot of sleep ins when I could.

There were two birthdays celebrated this month.  My birthday and my eldest daughter.  I just had a quiet day on my birthday but I sure made up this weekend.  On Friday night I went out for dinner and movie with my friend.  We had seen the second Mamma Mia. Yesterday we went to the Redcliffe Kite Festival.  Thank goodness yesterday was a wonderful day to see many kites flying.  We had a lot of different kind of kites of all sizes. Tonight after bowling we will go to the RSL for dinner as I have birthday vouchers to use.

Better go as I have things to do this afternoon.  Have a good spring/autumn season!
