Brother packs to leave

I am sad to see him go, but I know he'll be happier, and that makes me feel better. Him and his dogs.

He gave me this fan, which I will repay later - https://www.bunnings.com.au/dynabreeze-450mm-industrial-pedestal-fan_p4442106

and I bought his older washing machine from him for $350.

9 Jan 2020 -  He visited again tonight, after having been flown up by his company to attend a Board Meeting. (Nimrod Resources).

11 Jan 2020 - Here he is taking Mum to John's in his borrowed work van. He catches a flight back to Sydney and Cobar tomorrow morning.

Today I felt exhausted

and so I had a very lazy day. Was in bed for most of it. Mum went to Anne's alone. Dubbs has decided to leave and go back to Cobar. It's all pretty emotionally exhausting, being involved with them all.

Christmas Day 2019

  

Hardenbergia updates

So far, so good with this purple one. I do love the familiar shape of the leaves (I had one in Albury, a white one which grew huge).

17August 2020 - flowers! I noticed these when I was trimming the hedge on the street side.

Garden shots on Boxing Day 26 Dec 2019

It rained again last night - second night in a week! Things will go green and berserk shortly! It's a blessing though.

DNA test and updates

Thank goodness Christmas Day is over. I end up doing much of the work. Not fun. I am tired today and it is humid again although grateful for last night's rain for the garden and our water supplies.

I did the Ancestry DNA test this morning - I spat into the tube and will be sending it off today. I wonder how long it will take to return with results?

Got it all back mid-Feb 2020 - white as white can be, me.
