Freedom

Four of us spent about an hour pulling 'sea'-weed out around the shore of Carcoar Dam yesterday morning. Firstly using rakes standing out on the end of the pontoon, then we tried successfully dragging a length of chain between two long lengths of rope across the sandy bottom... we got rid of a lot of the annoying, chocking weed that way. Sundays' Sailability should be fine... let's hope the weed isn't too bad. A bit of mowing, whipper-snipping, a bit of fence-mending, and a good time was had by all.


Mr Hoon and I managed to catch-up over lunch afterwards in Blayney. Our friendship is such that although we don't see each other as often as we like (we live about 50kms away from one-another), we just pick-up where we left off as if we'd never been apart. It's fantastic that way.


I re-visited my cute dentist in the arvo, just to make sure the wisdom tooth removal is all healed etc, which it is. Then she cleaned my teeth properly... mind you, it's the first time I've had that proceedure done since like I was about 18! We sure know my gag-reflex works well, which made us laugh. Whups! It didn't take long and it was all over, and I'm amazed at how smooth my teeth actually feel now! Yay! Cost me $238 tho...


Eddie and I started with a few casual beers when he got home from work last night... then we thought, what the hay, let's go to the pub for a few quiet ones. At least it was air-conditioned there. We had a really good chance to get to know each other a whole lot better. Twas a good night out... needless to say I slept well last night. And all I had to drink was six beers in like five hours! I swears! lol.

Upon waking-up this morning, all I felt was tired! I'm sure no "hero of the wine bottle" these days... it just makes me feel weary! lol.

Eddie is playing three solo gigs in three nights this weekend, poor bloke! He's so looking forward to the relative freedom of playing with 'people' again, rather than just backing tracks. Yay for us!


I'm really looking forward to our first gig Sunday night too. Unfortunately, Matt is still causing some disturbance behind our backs... saying one thing to us and doing the exact opposite behind our backs. Tis nothing dramatic, just annoying fibbing. Needless to say I'm ignoring his childish bull$#it. Bugger him. Regardless, we're pushing on so far ahead in such a short time, it's simply fantastic to be involved with Eddie and Julian this way. So much freedom.


I haven't done so much writing this week... just doodling here and there, really. It's still progressing tho... just some days are easier than others.


I've been doodling a bit with Facebook, but only here and there. It's been good reconnecting with some old friends tho.


Tonight I'm sitting down quietly watching the cricket on the tellie (Tennis? What tennis? lol), doing a bit of hand-sewing - a small bag for the bands' mini cd-player made out of an old pair of jeans! Ahhh... loving the quiet life!

  1. The tennis interests me especially as Andy Murray is still in, but not enough to stay up at night to watch!
