Busy busy busy

What a busy week this has been, it started off quiet enough usual Monday walk, mass and then I went to the city and met up with my sister Katherine and had lunch at the Irish Club, from there we went to St Pauls book store to get some nice books for grandchildren etc and spent a very plesant hour there, we had a lovely catch up day.

Tuesday I went to help Siobhan at shop as Gerard had, had his op on his shoulder I was up and ready to go at 4am and hardly slept all night watching the clock. Siobhan and Gerard run a little convenience shop at Clontarf and are very busy from 3am until 7 or 8am. I was home by 7.30 and then I spent the rest of the day being tired and lethargic. I'm so not up to going to work anymore.
Wed I went to the shop for  a couple of hours, and when I got home I took the car over to Taringa for a service and as they gave me a very zippy red two door new Audi I made the most of that, I had some time for shopping in Paddington from there I had lunch with the clinic people,  it was a very nice place up at the Barracks at Petrie Terrace called "The Chelsea"
Lunch was very nice but a bit exi !! From there I went back to Indooroopilly and caught up with Georgie and Henry and afterwards had a very short time with Ruby when she got home from school.  It was then time to pick up the car and drive home. I was in bed by 6.30 that night
Thursday I went to the shop again, we didn't go to cards as it was all a bit rushed, we just worked a while in the garden and then I made a big start on my quilt square I love doing that and as  a result I'm not on the computer as much.
Friday was shop again I was not quite as keen getting out of bed that morning but I was still at Clontarf by 4.30am Gerard came in around 5.30 and he seemed able enough to do the till so I left there around the 7am mark.
Tony and I did the Nursing home visit and brought Holy Communion the the Catholic Community there.
Friday was coffee day and a little gardening.
Saturday I was totally exhausted and slept in until 7am, too late and too tired to go walking that day and besides it looked like rain and that was my excuse anyway.
Saturday night was our Parish Dinner, and the guest speaker was "Khoa Do"
he was an excellent speaker and his life story is so inspiring he spoke and told stories for nearly an hr, he was young Australian of the Year in 2005 and as he said last night, anyone who wants to achieve in Australia can! from refugee to Australian of the Year, wow!!!!

Just can't get this to stay upright! will have to get Anne to look at it soon

 This was our theme

So today we are off to the Baptism of Emily's baby "Jasmine" at Sacred Heart Church in Sandgate and then party at her house, hope to take some photos there
