Time flies by

Doesn't seem like two weeks since i updated the blog - it's the end of October already. I've been busy with one thing and another. I am going well with the exercise and feeling the benefit. walking 3 or 4 times a week, yoga on a Tuesday evening, and meditation group on a Thursday morning. Meditation group is very beneficial as it involves dancing!!
I decided to join the Scottish Country Dance group at my Mum's church as I need some cardio - if I mentioned this last blog post then apologies - I have been to two classes and am really enjoying it, keeps my brain active as i have to think about left and right !! LOL I have also managed to do some Rock n' Roll too on a Wednesday evening. So thoroughly enjoying the exercise program . Much more fun than a gym!!
i had my hair styled this week and had lots of laughs with my hair stylist re the modelling of her collection. Hoping to have some photos on here soon. Hopefully before she releases her next collection !!
The scrap-booking is going well I am enjoying the luxury of 2 hours plus each Monday just scrapping!!
The body corporate nightmare is back, with another "invitation" to attend a tribunal on 11Th November, the very & time that i have another important appointment in the city. I don't think she will give up until she gets what she wants.
Last Sunday saw Rose and I back at Y & J watching Jimi - the crowd gets bigger each time, lots of fun catching up with friends and making new ones....
The grandchildren are all well. I looked after zac for a little while on Tuesday, Shelley and I went shopping after that may not have been the best thing to do, i don't think zac enjoyed the experience!! Fergus is going well at school I only saw him briefly before driving to Mornington to see Koby. Koby and mum and Dad are in Sydney this weekend. He enjoyed his first flight!! He is growing fast and can now sit by himself. He has a beautiful smile!! Just for Grandma of course!!
I am still looking for work - nothing much on that front so have decided to do some voluntary work. More about that next post. I seem to be so busy there isn't a lot of time left for paid work
I have a busy November, going with Rose to Phillip Island over the weekend of the 13th - 15th November then my friend Sally from Brisbane is coming to stay for a few days. that will be fun, lots of chatting, red wine and chocolate!!
I think Summer may have arrived... let's hope it's time to pack away the winter woollies and get out the t shirts and summer dresses.
Til next time....

Time to get on with my life after the Big Trip

or something like that.....
Time has flown by since arriving home on 21st August. I have had two subtle reminders this week about my blog.." Your blog is seriously behind - how am I going to find out what you have been up to" and " your blog hasn't been updated for a while" It's great to know that my friends are so eager to read my blog and find out what's going on in my life!!!
Well there was the modelling gig last Wednesday evening that was fun!! To parade down the runway behind a real model was a little daunting - however I was allowed to smile!! and I remembered to swing my arms even though I didn't put one foot in front of the other and I didn't fall over even though my shoes were really seriously pinching my toes!! Do I like to be out of my comfort zone!! The next evening was spent enjoying Karaoke with a friend and I very much enjoyed staying in my comfort zone.
My three grandsons are just lovely. Koby is cuddly and has his first tooth. Last week he gave me such beautiful smiles, Fergus came for a sleep over in the school holidays and told me I was the best grandma in the whole world and Zac runs toward me saying "yeah it's Grandma - hi Grandma!!" then kisses and cuddles. I'm the lucky one.... :)
Life has been a bit hectic since I got back, with the Body Corporate issue, a VCAT Tribunal, looking for work and now planning retirement if a job doesn't turn up.
I am back to doing some walking in the mornings, yoga on a Tuesday evening and last Wednesday I went to a meditation class at 6.15 am. My Thursday morning group is most enjoyable with dancing and meditation, and Friday morning I am back at the yoga studio looking after the babies while the mum's try to do a little yoga in peace!
Sunday afternoon Rose and I enjoyed listening to Collards Green & Gravy at the Sandbelt. A great blues band. We have been to Y&J's a couple of times to listen to Jimi - have done a little dancing, but not as much as I would like to.
I started back to the scrapbooking last week and am working on Rose's birthday album before I begin my holiday snaps!
Looking forward to warmer weather but I don't think it will be this week!! Not according to the forecast.
til next time
