License renewal

Today I headed off to Cranbourne so have coffee with the gang, we haven’t caught up in weeks!

we all caught up each other about things that have happened, talked about our illnesses aches and pains and doctors appointments

then we shared photos of grandchildren, where we ohhhh and ahhhh commenting on how quickly they have grown.

memories of swimming in the pool and waiting on news that one of our children had gone into labour and then announcing the birth of our precious grandchildren.

it really feels like it was only last year

after coffee and chats I said I needed to go to the post office to organise my license renewal

my anxiety was ramped up as it never goes smoothly or I get told that I had to do such and such online . which isn’t something I like doing at all

technology and I are not friends at all

Diane also needed to go to send off a dozen Christmas cards to family and friends in the UK

the three of us walked in like we were walking to our fire squad

Amazingly we were in and out in five minutes

the nice man asked if I had paid for it online I said that I hadn’t, sorry

he was like that’s fine we can do it now

I paid, he took my photo, then stapled the receipt to the paperwork and said the new license will be sent out to me

meanwhile Diane paid for all her stamps, we all helped put them on the envelopes, and she sent them off

seeing us walk out of there , walking tall and proud as if we had just parted the red sea!

a quick shop and came back home

I really needed to sit and rest after all that. This flu has definitely bowled me over. While sitting I decided to start sewing my hexagons together

It really doesn’t take long at all and is quite meditative

I’ll sow all of these before cutting up more three inch squares to continue

by doing it like this, I shouldn’t get bored and give it up

well that’s the idea anyway
