Day 2 of lockdown -clean that!

-

 Here we are on day 2 of lockdown

And what is it about lockdown that gives you the desire to do the things that you've been putting off for ages?

As Ive been reminded we are dairy farmers, so life is sort of normal for us - we aren't home from work (cos we work from home), milking doesn't stop nor do the tasks associated with it.

But.... what have I achieved today?

Cleaned out my shoe cupboard - and score found a brand new pair of moccasins Id forgotten I have - Im taking that as a covid win!


Next cleaning! Kitchen and lounge room cleaned from top to bottom as well as - wait for it - oven cleaned, even took the door apart and cleaned the glass (I did have hubbys help - thanks Gaz!) But it does look lovely and clean doesn't it




And finally just to add to the madness - I replaced all the felt things on the bottom of our kitchen chairs.  They had all been falling off, half falling off etc and very annoying - well all nice and tidy now!




And yes I did go for a walk with the dogs and it was splendid outside this afternoon - I dont think I mentioned that it was minus 4 when we milked this morning, but this cow was having a ball having a good old rub to scratch an itch! Her name is Daffy by the way.

Mums eulogy

My Mum Mum was a quiet achiever, going through life with all its ups and downs with little complaining and always enjoyed the escape of a good book. My Mum was lovely – she cared so much about her family and so loved to hear about all our goings on Although in later life she had health issues – she faced them all bravely and worked to find out the best way to live her best life and bore them with dignity. Her life was one of change and she changed and adapted with the changes. Pamela Blanche Geoghegan was born in Bendigo on the 30th December 1938 (yes she just missed her birthday this year) to loving parents Stanley Norman Geoghegan and Emily Ada Blanche Pattinson. The year previously her brother Brian Stanley was born but he died shortly after birth. When she was only 6 years old her father Stan passed away at the age of 30 and for the next 13 years it was just Pam and her mother Blanche living together and they got on famously as Mum would say. The first change in her life. N

This week has been so very hard. My beautiful Mum went to be with Jesus on Thursday 21st December. I am so very grateful that I was able to sit with her for countless hours in her last days - boy did I talk some rubbish to her as she slept and I embroidered and I wouldnt pass it up for the world. Now we are in the midst of making "arrangements" and I am so very aware that Mum would want me to get it "right". She was definate on that when organising my stepfather Austens funeral and Id like to be able to do the same. Because of Christmas and New Year and holidays etc her funeral will be on Tuesday 2nd January at 11am at AG Adams Funerals in Kerang and then she will be joining Austen at Kerang Cemetry. I miss her so - all the phone calls, visiting her, spending time with her (and also the other residents and staff at Cohuna village) A large part of my life and days is now gone and Ill need to work out what the new routine is. I do plan on going back to the villa
