A time of mixed emotions

The children of our Ward put on a lovely little Nativity Play...the shed where the manger was, was beautifully set out and after some organising and many of the little girls wanting to be the Angels, the play got under way..... For me the best and most moving part was, when some of the little boys , were throwing straw all over Baby Jesus Face and little Kembry Desmond would have none of it...the sweet little thing could not bear it....as soon as they would throw it on she would lovingly wipe his face...picking up some of the straw and arranging it all around His Body......I was so touched..actually her little act brought tears to my eyes ...and the Spirit of Christmas to my soul.

I wish that I had a photo of her but I only have her head and her ponytails...the dear sweet little girl with a loving and tender heart. Thank You little Kembry I love your darling Spirit.xx

Little Lacey was poking Jesus's face with a stick of straw and maybe that was her little way of .....I don't know what !!! as you can see in the bottom picture........ohwah Kobi..... look at his hands which is full of what he is about to do.
I have missed Tony more then ever..he is NOT going away at Christmas time again...... it is awful just awful....It's hard to go to these things by myself.....and today at Church it was the worst.....left early.
Yesterday I had a long conversation with my only Cousin who lives in W.A.....she rang heartbroken ..... her husband of 54 years has advanced lung cancer. He has been a smoker since he was 11..... cigerettes were given to him by Soldiers in Holland during the War........he became addicted
and has been a heavy smoker ever since....Nobody knew then how harmfull cig...are.....They have a wonderful marriage...it's all very sad....So today has been a mixed bag...I would like to wriggle my nose and wish Tony home right now !!!

I re- read Vanessa's Birthday......sorry

Oh my gosh there were a mountain of mistakes....I was in a hurry to help with a wedding Reception this morning at 11 am....... and I just rushed through it all and never re-read it ...sorry everyone that must have been painful to read !!!!

Landfill Gas and Power

Yesterday we went to their Christmas Party which was held in a Park....oh thank goodness it was cooler..
It was a lovely barbecue with yummy salads...food always tastes better when you don't have to make it.
We, all the workers get a wonderful bucket or box of goodies usually full of chocolates and biscuits...hard to resist stuff  ....... Tony has subcontracted to this Company for 20 years plus...but I did wonder yesterday if this was the last Christmas Party we would go to as he gets very little work from them now..they have exhausted all the methane off the Rubbish Tips around Perth for now.....but we will see..hope he can still get some work from them...Anyway as much as we tried to remain strong and resist we did indulge a little of the forbidden stuff !!!!
All the Ladies got a voucher of $30 for the Body Shop and there was also a $30 voucher for Bunnings..I still have last years so I now have $70 vouchers for Bunnings which will go down nicely for some paint....they draw a raffle and this year WE WON  $200 voucher for the Good Guys.....I was sooooo excited, although I did try to give it to someone else...as I feel we are so blessed and these other people could use it more then us...but they absolutely refused...so now my mind is racing.... oh what can I get......I will have a good look around...OH I DO LOVE SHOPPING !!! sad hey !
It was a good day all and all.
Came home and ironed for an hour and that felt good to when I finished..

Oh by the way Christmas is up all except the Tree...love it !!

Jane Eyre and the Spud Shed

We had a wonderful day so far...we went to see Jane Eyre which we thoroughly enjoyed, I thought it was the best one so far.... Tony said that Jane Eyre has been produced 28 times.
 The very first time I ever heard it was on the old battery powered Radio then called a Wireless it was a serial that I could hardly wait to come on in the evenings.....It totally enthralled me as a young girl, I could imagine every scene it was done so well.
We then had lunch at Hans Cafe, Green Chicken Curry for me which I love, Tony had Chicken Omelette which he loves.....we then went out to the Spud Shed on Karel Rd,  Gosh, what a HUGE Shop and it was about the busiest I have seen a shop except at Christmas time....Great bargains for instance Banana's were $4.99..currently $13.99 at other shops being so expensive because of Cyclones in Banana Country.we go for the Sirloin Steak at $ 9.99 a kilo at other shops you could pay up to $32.00 per Kilo
. Nic and Sione have asked us over for a show and dinner for Father's Day even though it's not for another week but how lovely...... a perfick Day.

Is that Vicks your wearing !!!!!

Before I went to the F.H.Centre last night I popped into Coles to pick up a few things ...so I could have an early start on my baking for Saturday night Activity at the Chapel.....I always like to smell nice and have a perfume that I particularly love made by Christian Dior....not a cheap brand !!! but I love it, I sprayed some on just before I left to go....as I was standing in line to pay for my goods there was a mother and son going through the check out before me, I was a bit astounded with their shop as the the young man had bought 12 large bottles of fizzy Kola and was telling the check out person that he goes through that in just a few days....midway through her goods she turned to me and asked me if I was wearing VICKS as she could smell it.....my jaw dropped and I wanted to say NOOOO THIS IS CHRISTIAN DIOR! ! ! but I just politely said no....and then I just cracked up laughing under my breath of course..... I didn't want to embarrass the Lady, it was no use saying anything more anyway as I am sure that the name Christian Dior meant nothing to her.
What a scream I'm still laughing about it.
And still days later !!!
