Week 400 ” October 3rd is WORLD – MSA – DAY”

I woke this morning and was listening to the radio and the date was the 5th of September.  It suddenly made me think it has been 5 months that I have been alone not truly alone because I know in my heart Jill will always be with me. I have been taking fresh flowers to the cemetery each week only to find all that is left is the stalks. I guessed it is either rabbits or galahs. I was told to put artificial flowers there but Jill always liked the real thing. The rose bush over her plaque is starting to show some growth so I think when it comes into flower things will look better.

The last month have had me in Doreen helping with a couple of sick grand kids , both Riley and Lucas as well as their parents have had a cold , coughing and stuffed up noses, finding it difficult to sleep . I spent a few days there – not sure how much help I was , but got time to bond with our family. Chris and Nicole also got a chance to go out for a dinner while I was there. The next morning Riley called out for me and when I went into his room his first question was are mum & dad home. Lucas has started talking – only “mum,mum,mum” I tried to brain wash him with ” Grandpa” but no success.

The whole family, Michael, Allison & Chris, Chris , Nicole , Riley & Lucas  had a great meal for Father’s Day at the Growling Frog Golf Course on Donnybrook Rd Yan Yean. We had a great time and a the name probably leads into my next paragraph.

Jill's book leaf pine goneI have been woken up during the night by a frog in our water feature near the back door. About 12 months ago while Jill & I were sitting having a coffee, she noticed a couple of frogs swimming in our pool and suggested that I scoop them out or they would eventually drown or suffer from the chlorine.  I removed then and relocated them in the water feature and actually thought they must have died or hopped away. The last few days they have croaked continuously all night. I was talking to Allison on the computer and she asked what was all the noise – not sure if she believed me when I said it was probably Jill keeping an eye on me. I actually had a large book leaf pine tree removed from near our front door and I am wondering if Jill is not a little upset with me. It was always a struggle  to have shrubs and trees removed – I had to make up a very good argument for their removal and did not always win.

Jillsgym ( caravan) is still sitting in the drive – I have added a few things – mats , cushions , food containers and started to put things in the cupboards. We were supposed to go out to Gentle Annie Caravan Park but weather and health changed that plan – so the next step is of to Hervey Bay on the 21st September.
