Just an update

Hi everyone! No pic today as I have been side tracked by too many other things. You may have noticed that the look of my blog has changed a bit. This is still a work in progress and I hope to have it sorted shortly. I sent an email to a lady in the States asking if she could tell me how she changed her blog backgrounds. I received a lovely email and tutorial that she had written up for me. Unfortunately I have now lost the tutorial when Gary rebuilt my computer (yes, again). Luckily I had written down the basics, good old paper and pen, and have been able to sort things out. So a very big thank you to http://mentalimagez.blogspot.com/ for your wonderful help. We have been very busy here lately with Melbourne Cup Lunches, Nippers, camping and still sorting out things for our residency. Gary, Eilish and I all went for xrays on Monday morning and the whole family are booked in for medicals on Friday morning. Hopefully this is the last of it all. The teachers over here are still busy striking, with the schools being closed at least once a fortnight this term so far. There is even talk of them walking off the job all together and not coming back til the new year starts. At least the weather is good and we have plenty of things to do if this happens. Though Eilish is a bit concerned that they may all miss out on their end of year graduation. Guess we will just have to wait and see what happens. Has anyone started thinking about Christmas yet? I am still chugging away at my decorations and have even managed to decide on a design for my cards (just need to make them). Gary has been talking about me making a Christmas cake this year as he missed out on one last year. Poor boy. Credits for blog background papers and elements go to: http://shabbypumpkin.blogspot.com/
