Friday we collected my new car. What a relief it is to have my independence back. It's sheer luxury to go where I want, when I want, and shopping on my own is bliss.
I had a lovely day with my friend Tammy. She came over after taking the kids to school and I don't think we stopped talking until it was time for her to collect them again. We went to our favourite Thai restaurant in Bendigo for lunch. It will take us some time to catch up on 21 months of gossip. I've missed her! While we sat drinking coffee at the kitchen island a kangaroo jumped along on the other side of our back fence.
I called in at my favourite quilt shop. How nice it was to see the girls who work in the shop and I was thrilled when they said there was a sewing group Friday night and did I want to come along. Yes!! I do!! Something else to look forward to.
Mick has been back in his element. Dressed in his work boots and Yakka trousers and mowing the grass... his idea of heaven. We spent half an hour chatting with our dear Wintons Folly friends on Facetime. We showed them our house and the garden. It was funny talking to them in their pj's before bedtime when we had just had our breakfast!
Tomorrow is my first day back at the office. It's a different office to the one I left so that will be interesting. Mick has been making phone calls and visits looking for some work. He has something to keep him busy the next couple of weeks and I'm sure something more will come along. Going to work will help us settle into a routine.
