Well it's been a funny old week really......

l don't know what it is about saturday's!! - this morning Laura went off fishing. Andy went off to get some building materials and so l thought l'd get up and make an early start on painting the new room ceiling; anyway l shot up into the loft to get the paint and roller and came down would you believe the wrong way round as l was carrying the paint!! hence to say my foot slipped off the runner and fortunately l slid vertically down the ladder as if it was a shoot.......ouch...my back and bottom didn't miss the ladder steps.......hence l have a really stiff back, but as they say count your blessings it could have been a lot worse - picture it, 'sitting in casualty covered in white emulsion'!!

Laura came home from fishing early today because Kyle had forgotten his flask his grandad dropped it down at the lake for him; Laura turned to say hello to Kyles grandad just as Kyle pulled out of a fish, with that the heavy large lead weight came flying up from the water and hit Lauras nose and mouth and the hook went up her nose,she said her nose really bled because of the bang, and is really sore because she had to get the hook out.....ouch.........but as they say..... count your blessings......could have been another possible casualty trip !!

Last but not least Luke our son finally got his first car on the road; after waiting a week for an insurance cover note to come through, so that he could get his road tax. Anyway he'd only been on the road a while when l got a call to say everything was fine but he'd understirred round a sharp bend and had hit a verge - but a farmer had pulled the car out. The car was still driveable !! Just a little damaged.......and this one is easy to count our blessings because it could have been a lot worse. It probably done Luke a favour; although he's sensible l do think they trully believe their invinsible at his age, it must have shaken him up not to mention his pride being a little bruised!!

On the subject of "mum" she rang yesterday to say that she had been to the hospital on friday to have the scans the doctor had requested, she will go on Monday to have a consultation with the doctor to discuss her treatment - l'm hoping that she will get the same doctor as before as he spoke perfect english and she felt really comfortable with him. I've collected lots of imfo from the web on cemo to send out to her to read up on. Thanks to the many people that have continued to pray for her - l so appreciate it - and will continue to update when l hear any news.

I know all the silly mishaps that l began talking about sound like l'm "moan a minute" woman; but l do think that we just must focus on the good stuff....l sometimes forget that we got our Aussie visas not so long ago, something that we worked hard towards for a number of months. I've been so caught up on all the negative stuff going on that l have been completely forgetting who's in charge of all things; We prayed all those months ago that if God wanted us in Oz then to open all the doors for us, He knows all things and we just have to trust, when we prayed right back in the beginning we didn't know all what would unfold, but God did and the doors still continued to open and for the first time in ages l actually felt a bolt of excitment go through me at the thought of moving to the other side of the world to our new adventure! that feeling hasn't happened in ages, and it was good!
