June 2026

Have had a couple more annual checks for health purposes with the annual check for skin cancers, thankfully only carcinomas found this time. Also had a vaccination for RSV on doctor's recommendation.

Then there was a check with an optometrist  resulting in new glasses for both of us.

Big news for the month has been Nick and Catie selling their house in Toowoomba and moving to a rental in Brisbane much closer to the airport so easier for Nick to visit the companies hotel properties all over Queensland.

Had a quiet Mother's Day though daughter Sue came to visit for a couple of nights. Mick also called to see his Mum and played in a charity golf carnival in a nearby town.

Workmen continue with the thirty-five new homes being built in our village and the first new residents are due to move in  in a couple of weeks

E-bikes have escaped from our legislators like a number of other things but certainly they must be taken off children in public places.

There are so many gadgets available to make life in the home easier and  many young people today want to have a new house and all the gadgets right from the start. Many of we seniors started life in a rented house miles from work with some new but mostly borrowed or gifted furniture and gadgets. Has our culture allowed the development of exaggerated anticipation of needs?

Until next time,

Cheers,
