Not feeling the best

Isn't it funny, when you are feeling sick and you want to chuck you don't give a damn who is around or where you are you just go ahead and do it. That's what happened to me on Monday when we went for a test drive for a new car. No I didn't do it in the car, I was feeling ok then. It was when we were doing all the paper work inside, I had to leave Tony to it and venture outside for fresh air or so I said. The air wasn't too fresh it was 34c. I didn't realise I was going to be sick but there was a garden handy and I had to let go. Tony eventually came out and drove home just in time for me to throw up again in our garden as I could not make it inside. I then slept for about 14 hours and didn't care what was happening in the world for that amount of time. Tony had been sick earlier in the day so he too had an early night although he did make some beans on toast for dinner so he could throw them up later. I didn't go to RE Tebbutt yesterday as I still wasn't feeling the best. I didn't like letting them down as I know some of the residents would have been disappointed and look forward to me coming. Even Nelly who actually grunts at me now " biscuits please" when I am serving morning tea.

We are both much better today and ventured out to the movies to see "Up In The Air" with

George Clooney. Its about a businessman who does a lot of travelling in his job (which is firing people) and it is his ambition to clock 10 million frequent flying miles and is on the verge of doing so when his company decides to cut back on travel. It is a bit different to the usual run of movies.

Tony had a blood test today and we go back to the specialist on Tuesday for the results. We will then know what direction he will be taking next.

I didn't mention that we brought a new car. I purchased a Mitsubishi Lancer back in 1996 and it is still going strong. Apart from the roof that is where it has been sprayed a few times because there was fault with this model and the studs keep rusting through. So we thought we would go with the Mitsubishi Lancer Sports as it has 5 safety bags, 10 years wty on the engine and gear box, 5 years wty on all parts and 5 years free road service. Tony has sold his Ford Focus privately as they were willing to pay an extra $500 then we would have got with a trade in. We will be picking the car up next week.

Well footy season just about here. We are going to see the Charity Shield match Rabbits v Dragons on Saturday night and we will also be sitting in our members seats. Tony is very excited about this. I'm looking forward to the season and am still a true blue tiger even though I am a South Sydney member. All the people that sit around us (and

Russell sits at the back behind us) know

I am a Tigers fan and put up with me when I wear all the tiger gear when they are playing the rabbits.

I joined oz tips again this year through my old company IC Frith so I hope I improve on my pickings.
