<br />
I have been trying to hone my new founded self taught skills the best I could but sometimes a helping hand can make such a difference. I took up wood turning.. volunteering at the Wondai Visitor Information Centre.. and have very much enjoyed it and the talented people I am learning from. These are some of my turning projects I have done.<br />

everything is quiet.. I laid there for a little while wondering why I
cant go back to sleep... and then I looked at the the clock.. it was
4am. <br /> 4am 1 year ago today (25th March) was the last time we were
able to look into each others eyes with meaning... you were unable to
speak but I told you how much I love you and how much your family loves
you and thanked you for your love, kindness and tenderness in the time
we had together. It wasnt a long moment, but it was a moment, and you
drifted off again. Then at 9.05am as I held your face in my hands you
took your last breath.. escaping this world but hopefully hearing my
words of love and comfort as you went. I wanted to be selfish and ask
you to stay longer.... I didnt want you to go.. I didnt want to lose
your love, your friendship, your strong arms around me, your beautiful
smile and those smouldering eyes.. but you had been in great pain for
too long and I had to be strong and let you go... finally pain free...
So at 4am you woke me didnt you.. to let me know you are still here in
spirit and remember our last times together.. thank you so much for
giving me your love and being my best friend for almost 17 years. I
still cannot believe its been a year already... it only seems like
yesterday.. I will always love you xxxxxxx<br />

They dont look the best up close but they are functional and thats all I need. Also erecting some fencing to stop the peacocks from using the area as a thoroughfare was also needed.<br />
<br />

Then with a few plants and some fencing repositioned it was all coming together.<br />

Unfortunately the peacocks then thought it was an even better place to go visit.. arrghh so I made an adjustment and added a gate to the front as well.<br />
Then as winter was approaching rapidly I thought a clean out of the firewood stack would be good.. so many termites amongst it all I had to get fresh supplies cut up with my trusty chainsaw<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I soo love my wood fire in winter.. its lovely to just sit and watch the fire at night.. cuddled up with your loved one...<br />
Next was the sorting of under the carport at front of storage shed.. soo much stuff we had accumulated for when we built our house<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There was even a kitchen in there that we got 2nd hand.. but once I started moving things out I found the termites beat me to it.. so up in flames the kitchen went<br />

I finally cleared it all out and then restacked the storage... I was exhausted.. was a huge day for me.<br />

Garry had put up plastic to try and keep the weather off the area but this gap was hot in the summer and cold/wet in the winter so had to do something about it... my home wasnt going to be built now as we had planned.. those wonderful plans died with him... so I needed to put some sort of cover over that area.... Luckily I kept all the "good scrap" and had a lot of building materials that could be used. I pulled down the plastic sheeting and this is what I came up with...<br />

It took a long time to clean up eventually but I took one day at a time.. the physcial work was the worse as I am not a strong woman in muscle sense and I suffer many bruises and gashes and even a broken toe.. after everyone was gone I just wished I had an extra 2 arms as 4 hands were needed for a lot of the jobs but I had to make do on my own... it got done (slowly) much to the detriment on my poor aching body LOL<br />

gone.. so 20 days later he left this world.. albeit pain free now..
what do I do now? I just lost the love of my life, my best friend, my
soul mate. I was only 57.. expected to grow old with this special man..
life can be so cruel at times.. even when you have never done anything
wrong.<br />
<br />
So I threw myself into our property.. 1. because
it needed a bit of a clean up from hoards of stash that had built up
since 1999 when we bought the property.. and 2. because I needed the
distraction.<br />
<br />
First things first.. this had to be cleaned up<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
So
2 friends come and stay a week and they helped me sort through some of
this stuff and put aside what needed to go to the scrap yard... Then it
was back to myself and after more sorting and 5 truck<br />
loads later.. 7 car bodies and scrap metal all gone to another home.MandogScrapshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00433170929349632210noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682757439732531753.post-21836632513087405672014-04-07T10:45:00.000+10:002014-04-07T10:45:52.398+10:00Its with much Sadness<div style="text-align: center;">
