    My Ivy

    Thanks ladies. I cannot believe how attached I was to a rabbit. I will definitely miss her. 🐰
  2. Glad to help!! Very very happy to hear your test is negative!
  3. Oh Tracy, my gorgeous friend... I wish I could be there to give you cups of tea and buy loo paper... I hope today is a better day for you. I used to think our prime minister would be your president's prison...girlfriend. He was not great during the bushfires. But over this, I really think scomo has come into his own, and doing a good job. I do worry about people's mental health though. Take care Tracy. Love you. 💙
  4. Yes, it's very sad, sue. There's a ship in Freo that the premier has told to leave. I'm not sure where they could go. Very sad.

    Rain!!

    Thanks for the dance Tracy! If you could get your groove on again...that would be great!! Heather I was in America in 1994 for a few months. Being under 25 I wasn't able to be on the insurance for the hire car. I have to admit, I was quite pleased about that! I rode a Push bike in the town I was staying in, and constantly swerved all over the road! You know how you ride with the traffic? Very difficult!!

    Water is Life

    Kevin, you sir, are a gentleman. I applaud you for your gift of water. Well done with your weight, too!

    My Ivy

    Thank you Heather. I'm glad the cat managed a long life. Pets are more than family. We've just buried Ivy with all our other beloved pets outthe back. I'm very very sad, but she's no longer suffering. She was stubborn right till the end...had to have two lots of the medication! Rabbits grind their teeth when they are happy, and feel safe. She grounded her teeth whilst I held her in my arms, then she slipped away... Ivy was definitely a blessing amongst all this disabled stuff.
  8. Living with my family, I guess self isolation is not really what I'm doing. We are all homebodies, so I'm hoping it won't be too bad. As I've said before though, there's a big difference between staying home and not being allowed out.
  9. My husband is still working, and my son still going to school. My daughter has a cold, so has finished work for the time being. Her boss is going to close the business for a few weeks, and reopen when things are better. I'm staying home as much as possible. Today I have a physio appointment amd tomorrow my poor rabbit Ivy is going to heaven, but otherwise I'm home.

    My Ivy

    Well. A sad weekend indeed. Ivy has deteriorated. Terribly. Heaven is definitely calling her home. Tomorrow...
  11. There most likely is Jay. This damn virus for one. Adult issues never crossed my mind as a kid.

    Isolation

    Awesome Kev. Love snow. We spent 3 weeks in Canada a few years ago. Had a white Christmas. Magical. We spent hours holding our arms out and looking at how different snowflakes are.
  13. Sue, absolutely. Very scary times.

    Keeping Busy

    Busy alright. The night out with your friend sounds great. Glad you were able to have a good time with everything you have going on.
  15. I would love to go on another cruise...
  16. Kids today Asha, are a league of their own. The internet, I think, has made them grow up quickly compared to us. I'm 47.

    Isolation

    A snow storm in Arizona? I hate to sound naive, but is that normal? The weather is finally changed here...bring on winter!! Western Australia has about 60 CV cases, all in Perth. We are waiting for it to spread.

    My Ivy

    I have had the worst week EVER. My precious Ivy is sick. She started walking all wonky like she'd had a stroke. At first we thought her back was broken. Totally devo'd. Took her to the vet the next day to discover she has a parasite that's affected her brain. My little kindred spirit. I decided to send her to heaven, but wanted a few days with her first. Kind of a mistake. Kind of. After many many many tears, I decided I couldn't do it. She has brought me so much joy and comfort over the last few years, I need her. Anyway, she is now on very strong medication. We discovered today, at the vet to discuss medication, that Ivy has lost half her body weight. This is due to the food being on the second floor of the hutch. Due to her wonkiness she can't get up the ramp, so she was only getting greens not pellets or hay. Situation sorted. She really frightened me this arvo. The medication is very strong, and she was...well...stoned. I thought she had died in my arms. More tears. Good thing my kids are level headed. After this week, I have discovered that I won't be able to cope without her.
  19. I've had so much trouble this last few weeks with talking. Stumbling over words, not finding them at all and losing train of thought mid sentence. Doesn't help that I get interrupted. It's always been frustrating, but really bad lately.

    Nephew Visit

    Awesome! Glad your nephew can help and wants to help. What movie did you see?
  21. A cruise!! Awesome! I wonder if you went anywhere near Deigh? Yes. There's a big difference between being alone and being lonely.
  22. This is another photo of Jennelle and I. Yes, same name, just spelled differently. This photo is from 1994 in London. We were going to see a show called Hot Shoe Shuffle, an Australian tap dancing show. It was amazing! Jennelle and I were asked constantly if we were sisters. Not only is she short and blond, while I'm tall and brunette, we have the same name... After a while we started saying that yes, we were sisters!!
  23. I usually don't like to reminisce. I'm sure you know what I mean, reminiscing is a constant reminder of what we could do. Although... At the moment, I'm having Carrah scan old photos into my phone, then I'm making digital scrapbooking layouts. My current lot of photos is me and my main bestie when we lived in England during the mid 90s. I've been texting Jennelle some photos and we've been having a great laugh. Maybe remembering old times is good for the soul. After all, we can't change the past, so we might as well remember with happiness.
