Still learning…but this is me. Love physical exercise like yoga 🧘🏼‍♀️ pilates or balance 🤸🏼‍♂️plus a bit of pump 🏋🏼‍♀️ but also happy to just walk 🚶‍♀️ I believe we’ve lost our way when it comes to food & am a proponent of J.E.R.F. Just Eat Real Food & very little processed or packaged food. Love my garden, especially when I grow my own produce. Not very good at it, but that’s ok. At 72 life is pretty damned good, healthier than I was 30yrs ago & intend to stay that way for as long as I can. Wiradjuri country.

It was very lucky as I’d been scraping through the soil with a little handle held fork. I’ve marked where it is to make sure I’m careful when I’m out there again.
A friend of my older sister had amazing beautiful long white hair & she always wore it in a lose but tidy bun & seemed so elegant.

Mine was down to my waist when I was young & was very thick, but it wouldn’t grow any longer. Mine was very heavy too.
I’m thinking for the shade tree as medium sized Maple or Elm. It will end up coming down to what takes my fancy in the nursery though & advice from them. Just simple flowers around it. Never oregano again 😂.

G’day tooters. Hope everyone is doing well. Got a haircut 💇🏼‍♀️today & it’s very short, but I’m happy with it. In the chair next to me was another older lady just in for a trim. She had to stand up for her hair to be done though as it was down to the top of her legs. She had about 10cm off so was still very long. Amazing grey hair 👩🏼‍🦳 so very long. I wonder how I’d go if I let mine grow. I do know it would be forever tied up.
My hands are quite sore from working through the tangle of roots in that garden bed I’ve been dealing with. It’s nearly done though & will soon be ready for some fresh soil, new plants & a shade tree. I even dug up a surprise today. I came across a weird squishy little blob & carefully cleared around it to uncover a sleeping frog 🐸, very cute. I held it while I pulled the roots & then carefully put it back & covered it up again. #Gardening #Frog

I’m so glad you found your silver lining here. This budgeting business can get quite tricky & depressing.
Gorgeous picture of little Caity & always the tea drinker 😂.

Good evening tooters. Hope you’ve all had a great day. Mine has been pretty good, even got the lawns mowed. I’m signing off to watch some tv & have a quiet night.
Please enjoy a version of one of my favourite tracks. This by Playing For Change - I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For. So beautiful, yet so sad the ‘why’ behind it. Sound up #Music

You know how you sometimes think you see someone out of the corner of your & you look yet there’s no one there? It’s seeing into another dimension & it’s them slurping our tea & coffee, because theirs tastes crappy & they like ours better.

Good evening tooting friends. It’s been a lovely day today & there was sunshine - bonus. It’s not lasting, rain again tomorrow so probably no walk.
I felt a little spoilt today, I got to Vinnies & the manager gave me a belated birthday card & a gift card courtesy of Vinnies, which I of course spent 😄. I have 2 lovely t’shirts & a summer nightshirt. Then I get home to some mail from The Diggers Club with 4 packets of free seeds - Bergamot, Lobelia, Celtuce & Futsu Pumpkin. I guess I’ll be doing some planting soon 😁. #LovelyDay

Love the hat & great picture - you at certainly photogenic.
Sounds like a petty good productive - after you were abut to get out that is.
#FlatAndFabulous I understand totally. I still have boobs & at my age they’re definitely flat 😂.

2024-08-26 09:04:51

Oh yeah - cooked to perfection 😃. Roast chicken in my cast iron pot with a tomato & onion gravy - just a wee bit of chilli added. Yummy. Basis for meals for the whole week. #Frugal #Food

I remember this. We used normal whipping cream & sour cream & minimum marshmallows.
The fruit was good 😁.

I have my doors open, some windows open & I’ve found my summer slippers aka thongs.
What a glorious day. I don’t think the dusting fairy is going to visit though - damnit. #Spring has sprung!

Good evening Caity. I can’t imagine what it must be like for you - but do I have to be light here & say “open wide, here comes the airplane”.
On a serious note - are you taking your painkillers?

Thanks Caity - that’s a doable amount for me.

That was my conversation with the Sister at my GP clinic. She went online to check the age out of 74 & requested with my details to have a kit sent to me. It wasn’t!
I have learnt you can buy the kits at the chemist, but I haven’t looked into it yet, but I will.
Let’s face it, if we’re willing to do the test, why shouldn’t we have them for as long as we want. A lot less invasive & cheaper than the alternative.

2024-08-23 01:54:17

Nope, I’ve apparently aged out even though I’m only 72 & it’s supposed to be 74 when you stop getting them - so 🤷🏼‍♀️. I’ve always been fine though.

Me too, it’s beautiful. There’s a little tiny town on the road between Victoria & Adelaide called Mystic. I’ve passed the sign to it so many times & I’d always start singing the song when I passed the sign. One year I decided to have a look at Mystic. Tiny town of about a dozen houses & beautiful really big pub. I have a picture of it on my phone somewhere.

I appreciate his early work & even though his politics is disgusting, I still like those songs from my youth.

It’s huge job, going through everything knowing you have to reduce & so many things have big memories. It’s very good of your SIL to help out like that but also hard on you not being able to.
I knew this weak unit would be my last place, so I’ve been through it. It can be overwhelming.
How is your own decluttering going - are you seeing daylight?

It’s been a long time since I’ve had one & these are different to what I remember - it was a nice treat as I rarely have sweet things.

2024-08-21 07:08:13

Home from the movies & when I got there I pivoted. It was a half hour wait for The Trap & Alien Romulus was just starting, so I grabbed my choc top & watched that one. I enjoyed it, but the it was very similar in the ending as the original, which tells me it’s open for another one eventually. Visited a nearby op shop afterwards & found a fabulous pair of Zara black pants that fitted perfectly & cost $4. Which my choc top my whole outing was only $10 - winning 😁. #Movies #OpShopping

Try El Canto - I like that one.

Maybe have a rethink about sending your Mum one, it could easily be misinterpreted. You could mention that you’re reading it & are finding it very helpful with your own decluttering, then based on her reaction maybe make the suggestion that you could it for her if she would like it.

That sounds delicious.

Well that was hilarious. Went for a walk around a local@park with my daughter & grandson. Worked out at about 4.5km. We came across a new play area, so of course master 2 & Ms 72 (me) had to give it ago. I could hear him laughing all the way down. So funny

That’s great. There’s nothing really wrong with these blankets, they’re just old & worn.
I have an old grey army blanket with a couple of holes in it. It’s pure wool. I would like to patch it up with a couple of bright red felt hearts & redo the edges in red blanket stitch. Use it as an extra.

2024-08-17 07:57:37

At Vinnies we put aside blankets that aren’t quite good enough to sell & send them to animal rescues.
A rescue is my plan for when I get a wee animal, probably a small dog to fit in my small unit, but I can’t do it until I know I’ll be home most of the time.
I can’t imagine being homeless & considering how my life went, I think I was very lucky not to be at some stages.

2024-08-15 23:33:37

Weird, I took this picture a couple of minutes ago & it’s now gone but must be directly overhead as it’s dark inside now, I’ve had to put the light on & the rain has started. It won’t last long though - bigger band to arrive about lunchtime - just as I head to the optometrist 😬 of course!

Good afternoon Caity, you’re looking very well there.

2024-08-13 05:33:06

Lovely walk today around the river, managed 7km & I’m quite happy with that, hoping I can improve on it over time. My knees feel a little tight now but I expected that, one walk a week just isn’t enough. So I’m going in Friday as well. Beautiful day, I’ve had the doors & windows open as there’s no cool wind, it’s very still. Need to shut up soon though.
Gave up on the plan to work on the new garden bed, so I baked bread instead & it’s yummy.

Good morning tooters. I didn’t have the heater for long this morning, it’s already 10c & heading for a cloudy but fine 19c.
I didn’t put my phone on charge last night as it was on 80%, I don’t know what happened - maybe a few updates but the battery was almost totally discharged this morning. I thought it had died on me, it’s on charge now but is taking quite a while & after over an hour is only at 60% 🤷🏼‍♀️. It’s an iPhone 8 that I’ve had for 6yrs & probably needs upgrading - 💸- when I can, just not now.
Heading out for a lovely walk when I’m ready & my phone is charged, which could well be another hour at this rate. I need to blow the cobwebs away. Hoping to mark out the length of the new garden bed down the side of the unit today being mindful of my back & reminding myself to bend my knees more & not my back so much.
Have a great day everyone, wishing you sunshine. #Tuesday #SpringIsComing

Good morning tooters. Overcast very mild morning of 5c, heading to 16c today. The sun appeared over the hill & has disappeared into the overcast skies 🤷🏼‍♀️damnit!
I realised this morning how many items in the house beep at me. In the morning the first thing I do is put the kettle on & that’s the only click. The cooktop beeps when I unlock it to cook my eggs & beeps for each level of power I go to, it even beeps if I lift the pot off the hob without turning it off first, which is another beep anyway. The microwave beeps at me & so does my washing machine always culminating in 5 beeps when they finish.
Off to the gym this morning for my second to last session. Apart from that I’m home for the rest of the day. So #BeepBeep guys I’m off to get ready for my day.
Have a great one whatever you’re doing. #TGIF #HereComesTheWeekend

Oh Caity, you can’t seem to take a trick lately - & what a weird saying that is 😬.
I hope it’s not a bad break, I’m hoping for a bad sprain for you.

My last lot of chicken, vegetables & rice.
I actually have a tiny bit of my Gochujang pumpkin soup left that I’m thinking of stirring into the rice. Could be a bit of a flavour clash though.

At least you know you’ll be getting all the goodies in the soup even if you have to have it puréed.

I had planned on a different song to share tonight, but in light of the news on mastodon today, I changed my mind & feel this is better. I’ve said that I didn’t know @npub1tmr…ue9e & I didn’t, but from what I’ve read on here today, he touched many people & meant a lot to them, some who I class as friends. I wish I’d interacted with him & got to know him more. RIP @npub1tmr…ue9e. #Music

My day has been good busy too. At Vinnies I priced 5 racks of clothes & sent them up into the shop. Spent an hour sorting , bagging & tagging clothes hangers which is an ongoing issue there. Came home for lunch & then mowed my lawns.

Good to get an update, I’ve been thinking about you this afternoon & wondering. Glad the concussion is only slight but it does go to show that going to the ER was right.
Soup - it doesn’t matter if it comes out of a tin or a pkt, break some bread into it for a little bulk. Tinned fish & rice. Custard & berries. All simple & easy. You may not feel like eating much anyway so just keep it easy & not too hot or too cold considering your teeth.
