And once again I am reporting my weeks activities late - I really dont know where the days and time go! One minute Im getting up out of bed to start the day and the next minute its bed time again - does anyone else feel like that? In cute family news - Mr cutie Ollie is two months old and honestly it doesnt get much cuter than this does it? Cant wait to get back to queensland to see him!
On the farm we have been getting ready for out biannual dairy audit - which means lots of paperwork to be done and cleaning too so not much fun at all On the crafting side of things I havent finished anything else but still chipping away at the Owl and Hare Hollow Block of the month quilt - I think I have 10 or so blocks to go - and then join them all together, quilt and bind etc - hardly anything at all really LOL On the reading front - still listening to the same audio book as last week so no review there but I have finished the third book in the Heir of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas - Heir of Fire. This was excellent. Its not often that the third book in a series is just as good as the first but this one is! The main character is still celaena who is sent to a neighboring kingdom. She must find a way to destroy the wyrdkeys to save the kingdom (and possibly the world) from the rule of a corrupt kingdom. There she meets Rowan (a faerie) who changes everything (and her) We also meet Manon who is a witch and is sent to join the corrupt kings army and ride a wyvern. And finally there is still Chaeol and Dorian left back at Rifthold to deal with the goings on there. I could hardly put it down and of course its a 5 star read!
And of course Ive started book 4 in the series! So a short but busy week - hopefully next week I will be on time!

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
