I had the remote control for the weekend

Yes I actually had control over the remote...Your probably thinking whats the big deal but if you knew Dave and his obsession with the remote....
Dave went up to Bendigo/Dingee for the weekend. He had to attend a funeral in Bendigo on the Friday, his friend Cliff Doherty's brother Doc died of lung cancer. They are such an unlucky family, around 3 years ago one of the brother's daughter got killed in a car crash, there were a few people in the car, they had stolen it and there was an ensuing police car chase but the police backed off as it was too dangerous to continue and only about 10 minutes later she was dead, lost control on a corner and ploughed into a tree head first. Then last year one of the younger brothers, Lenny died of cancer then the Father at the beginning of the year and now Doc.

Dave then went up to the farm to mow the jungle and to make a start clearing the shed...lol
We've been asked again to rent out the house but we don't want the hassle of tenants and seeing as we are going to put it on the market there's no point, I know its dead money, its just easier the way it is.
So on Friday Bec, Luke & Paige came over we had a movie day/night, I cooked spaghetti (only time I can have it is when Dave's not here) the following day my SIL Fe and her kids Billy, Brodie, Meg and myself went to the Geelong show, we got there early so the kids could get to have rides without queuing for too long and get the show bags they wanted. I won this really cute yet weird toy for Paige (apparently its called a Chub Chub), I bought her a fairy show bag and got Dave his favourite Darrell Lea Pig Out Bag, I was very good I bought a pair of sunnies as I had left mine at home. I looked at the bags of fairy floss, but I walked away.
We came home just after 1.30 by then the crowd had started and you could hardly move, I still have problems with big crowds.
Bec, Luke & Paige came over in the afternoon and stayed for pizza, I sat up and watched some movies, went to bed around 1am hoping to have a sleep in but no I woke up around 7am, did a little bit of housework then sat and watched TV for the remainder of the morning until Dave came home just on 2pm. We went out for dinner as I didn't feel like cooking, so we went to the Sphinx...don't bother going, the meal was not how we ordered it, and for the price you would expect a lot better.
Dave went and played the pokies, so I went and sat outside fanning myself with the Chinese fan I have for my lovely hot flushes, I get quite a few stares and alot of smiles especially when I'm perched on the dairy section ledge in the supermarkets...

Bec had her Gall Bladder surgery on Wednesday they were able to remove it via keyhole so she has 4 puncture sites and is quite mobile, shes just having problems lifting Paige as she has put on so much weight...little porker, I even find it hard holding her for any length of time as it pulls on my stomach, which is infected yet again so I'm going to have to get some more antibiotics.
