ASX game

Bring it on new game not so many players this time stock markets are looking a bit sick lately and difficult to make money on but its fun to play the game, a theoretical 50 thou and no risk. You learn about trading and looking at companies. Its amazing how loosing even theoretical money makes you focus and learn more. I've bought three energy companies because I think they are over sold from the carbon tax issues and a solar panel maker in case the carbon tax does make a big difference and a medical tech company because they interest me so we will see how it goes. I haven't lost too much but haven't made much in previous games. So cant quit the day job yet.
Sleepy now as played golf for 2 days and we are going to see "Faust" tonight with John Bell and Bell Shakespeare company. i think he is the best Aus actor but I think he only does stage. Its a pity he should go and be a baddie in one of those US crap films he would be a great baddie.
Gotta garden a bit before it gets too cold.

Paris

We are watching the tour riding into Paris so happy for Cadel and the team such a great win, and a wonderful tour. Tough race and a wonderful team backed him. Oh he has a glass of champagne, lovely day. We have have learnt a lot about bike racing this tour, very tactical. They are all heroes I think the guys that have made it and the guys that have tried. What a beautiful race and a beautiful city. It will be nice to have an early night, we watch till 1 or 2 am no sleep in the southern hemisphere when big sporting events in the north.

wet again

No golf again so we went aquarobics which was good, the pool actually felt warm for a change probably because it was so cold. It was good to do some stretches and running. Then we had coffee at the local shops. I swear if we sat there long enough we would see everyone (above ground) we've ever know walk past. Had coffee with one of the girls we used to work with and her husband. They are very interesting they go all over the country caving. He used to work in the (now worked out) mine on the mountain above our house. He said he was 16 in 1943 and wanted to join the army and his canny father sent him to work in the mine because it was a protected job you couldn't leave it to join up. They needed the coal. I said my father worked at the steelworks and it was the same story there but somehow he managed to talk his way out and into the airforce. He was a bit older  through.
I asked him about the pile of tailings in front of the mine, twice in floods it has been washed down. He said he heard at the reunion it had been fixed. I hope so as we bought that flat which had been flooded and filled with coal tailings. Oh well this will be a test in all this rain.
Le Tour was very exciting last night I didn't mean to stay up so late to watch but it was such a battle. Cadel is 3rd now after the Scheck brothers. Andy Scheck was totally amazing and Cadel the way he chased. On todays stage they are going up the same mountain from the other side.  When you see these guys ride up mountains it makes hero movies look like junk, Maybe when you get older you really appreciate real feats like basketballers amazing jumps compared to superman stuff.

wet

Its hardly stopped raining all day rained away golf. Only good thing I could stay up late and watch the Tour and Cadel Evans, an aussie is now 2nd and going well. Its been very exciting the last few days and the mountains are beautiful, they are in the Alps now. I get very into it I feel like I am there not here sometimes. The last bit of the race was amazing up a windy little road and then back down, I get really worried about them getting hurt but now they are in Italy at least they seem to have barriers at the side of the road. The worst is those roads with 100 metre drops and no side barriers and the riders are descending at big speeds. Oh its started nice sunny day there and the mountains are huge.
I am trying to finish a jumper for 2nd daughter as she is doing her teaching prac at beautful little school up the mountain (well what we call the mountain, only category  1 or 2 in tour terms) as its cold there. Some years its really too hot to wear wool much but this year is def a woolies year.

once was sunny

Tuesday now so bitter cold and rainy. Car in for service we were going for walk to pick it up but the rain came. No lunch at the beach but at least I've got the rego done. Its tax time too the grim days are good for doing that. I was going to weed the garden and plant some little plants I bought.
Later ah made beef with Guinness stew soooo nice on a cold night. Eldest daughter bought home 4 cans of Guinness after St Patrick's day so that was our 3rd stew with it, one to go and the best one ever.

For her I feel so afraid

Must have been the most stressy patient ever, yes have the test no wont, finally agreed and x-ray refused wrong needle in her arm ahhhhh. 2 days of yes and no and discussion. Doc said he had had 5 years of it, I admire his patience. Everything a worry to her, how do people live like it, she said everything goes wrong for her but she makes people so nervous around her no wonder. A nice person really but there really is no time in public hospitals for extensive counseling or in life for a total guarantee of safety in everything. Walking down the street has risks. Finally had the tests and pretty good, a bit of pneumonia. Survived the test (I hope). I thanked the husband for supporting the both of us, I was as worried as she was.
Other girl not so good looked very sick to me had this new (to us) treatment high flow nasal O2 very good really. ICU guy says we used to have to watch them deteriorate till they needed ventilation but this treatment means they can avoid ventilation sometimes. Of course if you keep it on, very agitated girl, ?unwell ?personality whichever, she'd settle then get restless. Supposed to move to HDU high dependency unit but they decided no then they were moving her to birthing unit, they look after sick girls. So off she went. I hope she is ok, someone mentioned swine flu forgot about that hope it isnt that.
Do you get too old for this stress I am thinking. The main think I find I dont know my way around the treatment or the tests or the doctors. Have to get a password for patients results on line.
Ok 5 days before I go back. Played  tennis today and I'm sore. Its rest day on the Tour tonight so we will just watch the highlights we and the boys need a rest.

Upsetting

old blog gone cant get a proper link to it cause of stuffing up the old address and I've been backdooring into blogger without registering properly on google, I guess they have closed that link. Oh well my husband and daughter say its a new start but I am not a new start sort of person, I am a clinging on to the wreckage till the last sort of person. I played in a basketball team once and it kept dwindling until only me and one other girl turned up and she said I wont be coming next week, I have a job, at that point I finished up and just played tennis.
Interesting fact I asked my husband what does UDL mean he said: Universal resource locator.
Have to go get the keys to ferrets flat as it settles on friday but they dont have all the keys have to get the real estate to get a locksmith if they cant find them. We have a tenant so thats good rental market very tight.
