Last Monday was middle kid's 44th birthday. As usual, I try to trace the mistake that has been made. A conspiracy is being played out but I can never find the trail to follow. Clearly, I'm physically old enough to have given birth to her, but I thought that I was the one in my forties! I have missed at least 2 decades of my life. Somewhere there will be documentation of this time. Was I kidnapped? drugged? taken by aliens?
The last fortnight has passed incredibly quickly ---- an overnight stay in Bendigo to attend appointments, a trip to Swan Hill for the dentist and 5 days in Melbourne with daughters and grandchildren. The most fascinating part of this time was spent finding an endocrinologist who can see me in under 4-5 months. I see one in a week. Yay!!
A less fascinating part of the trip was that I left my handbag at youngest kid's house. It contained purse, computer glasses and worst of all, my iPod.
We returned from Melbourne in the wee small hours of Thursday. Later in the day, as we prepared to go off to Kerang for my massage, eldest kid appeared. He told us that a fire that had started the day before and was put out by the fire brigade, had sparked up again so he was here to ring for help. Before we could blink, there were 5 fire trucks racing up our drive. Where was this fire????
In the paddock, only 500 metres from us.
Oh well, the wind was blowing the other way so we left for my massage. Most of the trucks had gone when we got home but the police and assessors were still there. Just when they thought that the fire was right out, it flared up again and we were a bit hesitant about going out that evening. Most surprisingly, especially for this drought stricken area, along came the rain!!!!! A large part of Victoria and most of New South Wales is battling floods and here we have a fire???
