Hello from Tenneh by the rivers,
I have been thinking of you all and sending cyber hugs, especially to you Bee. I have had such good intentions to post but been sooo busy. maybe winding down for winter will be a good thing!

I have handed in my resignation and committed myself to moving house, so am applying for jobs at the moment... so keeping busy takes my mind off the uncertainities....I worked over Easter. The first 2 days -Good Friday and saturday were crazy! Hetically crazy, we wondered what had gone wrong with the world... Full moon or something? our emergency dept had been rushed off our feet, knee deep in people, and we finally shipped 3 patients out to the base hopsital by ambulance at 6.30pm. Our Drs were stressed and desperate for a cuppa and something to eat, they had been on all day... I walked thru our reception area, empty briefly!, when a man approached me. "I've bought in a lad, he's rolled his Quad bake and broken his leg", as his mate grabs a wheelchair and whips outside. I'm thinking 'OK, what makes them so sure hes got a broken leg..... OH MY' It was all hands on deck ( sorry Dr's -no cuppa ) and we helicopter that patient out of there to surgery quick smart, for his massive fractured femur. There is never going to be another job like working at a small rural hospital like this!

Still no formal decision on the parenting orders for my little DD. She has finally seen her appointed lawyer, and report due next week. I had time with her (DD) yesterday and she tells me she will stay with daddy and go to school, and see me on the weekends and holidays. It sounded so 'coached', the words/phrase coming from a 6 year old. So much for me being fair and reasonable and trying not to influence my DD unreasonable, I left it wide open for exDH to do so. I feel a little bitter to say the least, but will keep my chin up and carry on. I pick up little DD tomorrow and then I have her later in the week as it is school holidays. Being together is what is important whatever time we have.

So I have finally cut out all the pieces for my scrap quilt, I have used all scraps, I didn't buy any more fabric! And I'm not sure I've made much of a dint in my stash...LOL.

An add on to my last post, The best time to harvest watermelon is before the first hard frost!Jack Frost trampled my garden with glee, wiping it out! And just when I though my sugar snap peas had survived, the frost a few days ago finished them off. So bye bye garden for the summer. As for the watermelon, sadly it had not really fully ripened.

Blessings and happy stitching,
Tenneh by the Rivers
