What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.

Weekend yachting

Okay, really feels like summer now and with a weekend on a yacht, not only are my arms sore from working the sheets, but my skin is dried out and burnt. Still doesn't stop me from shopping, hunting for Christmas presents.



Yes, it's a new dress, purchased online yet looking at what's now in our shops at around the same price, using retail shops would have been better (I only added it to what I was buying so that I got free postage).

I've done a couple of other bits of shopping, Bunnings and Kmart, absolutely no idea what I was buying from the photos, but I have taken an interest in my garden such that I have a seedling box and good garden chemicals now.

Burst of Summer???

Multiple cloudless days, 22-24 degrees, enough for me not wanting to be out in the heat of the day.

I've also discovered - I don't fit any of my old dresses that I have worn over the last 10 summers. My shoulders are bigger, my chest is bigger and so is my belly 😕

I'm still doing the same old stuff (I did see today a 800cc motorbike for sale at $6,999 that I was tempted to consider - but wife would have killed me before the bike did). Shopping for groceries, clothes, library, bank, beach















I did found a nice silky skirt at H&M that I will probably buy next pay day.
