Sister Four

Well I finally took the plunge and now only work 3 days a week ( actually I do nights, but that's another story!) People have been saying for years that when you retire you need to find things to do. I still run out of time with all my projects and learning new tricks with my beading and related craft. I've gotten back into reading also, which is bliss. I have a stack of books waiting to be read. I'm still transfering my old vinyls to cd as well as photos. I found this great one of Mum yesterday, it's only a little photo, but it's a great photo of her Must dash, have lot's to do still so little time Nospoj

Been awhile since I last posted here, but have been dealing with some health issues that saw me suddenly in hospital for five days. I'm fine, had a minor heart scare, I say minor as they couldn't find out what really caused the chest pain I experienced. Did lots of tests but only could come up with that I have high cholesterol (I already knew that!) but it's not high enough to be on medication for! I lost two weeks work which in this economic climate I didn't need. I am now on a two week holiday, taking it easy catching up with friends and family. I haven't beaded since January and here it is nearly March. There is a Craft Fair next week, and I'm hoping to find the inspiration I need to get back into it. Cheers Nospoj

and here is the latest - not for the BJP - but a pressie for my bestest friend for Christmas. As she hasn't a computer I know it will not spoil the suprise putting it here for you to peruse. She is the Eeyore to my Tigger, she helps keep me grounded when I go bounding all over the place! And for this I give much thanks! My BJP pages are coming along nicely thanks and Yes in a few days time I will post what I have achived in the first quarter. I have finished September and October and November a doing well also. Cheers till then Nospoj

It's been awhile since my last post but then life has a way of catching up with you. As John Lennon once noted - "Nobody told me there's be days like these, strange days indeed, most peculiar Mama". I've been working on the BJP08, making earrings,bracelets and also went to see "My FairLady" at the Theatre Royal last month. It was a great show but not really my cup of tea. Richard Grant was very good but I really loved Nancy Hayes as Professor Higgins Mother, she to me, was a standout. Looking forward to seeing Steel Magnolias in June next year, it's playing at the Seymour Centre in Chippendale. And So it's nearly Christmas so time will fly even faster now as we head into the 'silly season'. I've noticed that once Melbourne Cup Day is past everything just seems to go haywire! I'm not a political person but I must congratulate Barack Obama on winning the US Election. Hopefully he can bring some sanity to world events Talk again so...

Do you have a thing for the environment? Concerned for Animal Welfare or other Humanitarian Rights? Do you strive for excellence in all that you do? Do you sometimes feel that 'we the people' are fighting an uphill battle when it comes to our elected officials not to mention our "superiors" at work? Need a break, then check this out : Randy Cassingham's Blog Randy writes a newsletter each week that I have subscribed to for about five years now and it's part of what get's me through the week. This is True - and yes there is a feeling of "Only in America" in there, but even I get embarrassed by the Australian entries and there have been a few over the years. Having said that I also notice this is a world- wide - dare I say - epidemic! Hope you will enjoy This Is True as much as I do, or at least it will get you thinking!
