The Christmas wrap up - 2015

 As a blended family, our Christmas' consist of running around usually dropping off and picking up kids during the main days. We haven't still, created our own "tradition" as such and usually by the end of the Christmas week, I'm tired and my belly is full. 

We also celebrate birthdays. Before Christmas, Molly turned 18. Again, 18! Time flies people. In the blink of an eye, kids grow up. Our littlest also celebrated a birthday and turned 4. So as well as trifle, spreads of food to die for and lots of wine and get togethers, we have CAKE! 

I also was really, really, really tempted to buy some tickets and just "pop" over to Bali for a few days, because... Bali. Alas, my head was smart though and while looking at the flight websites to find the cheapest deals, flights were disgustingly expensive. I'll just have to hang the 145 days till the next trip! 

So here's the McLean wrap up kiddos! Merry Christmas everyone!

We also caught up with friends. And, I now have a new taste for fine Champagne!

Pinched nerve in the neck left me cripple for a day. Serves me right for busting my moves to Gingham Style first thing in the morning!

But i sorted out my solution with a heat pack, meds and Champagne. I am right as rain again!

Do not write blog post when you have had a couple of wines

 It's been a bad day.  Not a travesty, but a day of anxiety, overload of emotions, countless puffs from many a ciggies and all in all just a bleh.  Where the fuck has 2020 gone? How did we get from free world to lockdown and oppressions and wearing masks???? I  burnt my 2020 planner, close with my 2020 diary, because why the fuck, hey? Let's just write this year off as a mistake on a humanity scale and start fresh in 2021.  Funnily enough, I bought a $4 2021 diary. So there may be hope. My beloved is struggling. Which  means that I am struggling, Seeing him in pain, no sleep, swelling joint agony, depression and all the things that entail chronic illness. I'm at a loss as to how to help him, I just sit and be with him and tell him every day that i will be by his side till the rest of my days.  At least 2020 has shown us this: What actually is important in our life, What actually matters, like really really matters,  The latest model car o...

Is it Saturday or Sunday?

 It is just before 6am as I sit here on my back porch watching the sun slowly rise for another day. What day is it? #isolyf has got me all confused to the day, date and month. With so many of us wishing and wanting “more time”, I have found myself getting bored of being bored and the motivation bug seems to come in slower and less frequently. How the world has changed in the unprecedented times, hey? It seems that here in #straya, we have quickly adapted to the powers that be and in the matter of weeks have become accustomed to the lack of interaction and movement. Does that concern you? How quickly we have been able to conform? I had to delete Facebook off my phone a few weeks ago as I was constantly checking #scomo and Googling “coronavirus” every other minute. The information overload brought on confusion as well as fear and I was working around feeling like doomsday was coming. The best thing that I did was switch off. The establishment news was only regurgitating stupidity ...

Tyranny, Censorship, Fear and Questions

 This post will most likely be banned on any social media accounts I share to. Censorship has been coming in hard and clear – even more so in the past few months. While I have been indulging myself in all seasons of Gossip Girl, Tiger King and Real Housewives of Anywhere, I have also been digging deep with the help of some like minded souls into Science Censorship, Liberty stealing and heart wrenching conformance that has been occurring around the globe. In many ways, 2020 for my little family has been positive. Deleting the last few days of a polar blast over the southern states of Australia bringing Winter overnight with freezing, blizzard winds and rain that was howling sideways over the rooftops. Other than that, we have had some wins here. When #Covid19 came to light – I had my fingers peeled on Google repeat. I was watching every single news article I could find, hitting refresh on all the latest updates on Facebook, the big five News establishments as well as TV. It was ...
