week in focus :: Sun 17th Jan to Sat 23rd Jan
After the part clean up of the garage last week, I was able to move the china cabinet that Dad made into the garage. While it is a beautiful china cabinet, it's made of silky oak, and doesn't go with the rest of our more-modern decor. Jason's old football trophies all came out of a dusty, manky box, and were put in the china cabinet also. The garage isn't the prime location for such treasures, but we don't have much choice. The removal of the cabinet from the old dining area, allowed us to move the new desk into the back corner. Now we have to think about what to do with all the space in this area.
I had another play date with Charlie on Sunday afternoon, and took the opportunity for Jason to drop me off so I could walk/run home. Charlie was extremely upset that I wasn't waiting for Jason to pick me up. It was a little heart-wrenching.

The run on the way home (the first in a week), felt alright while I was doing it, but I ended up with a bit of heat stroke (I think), which lead to severe headache, and a resurgence of my throat issue. I'm getting fed up with this thing, and I think my next step will have to be a doctor (but I'm trying to avoid that).

Monday night was the first Creative Shots Photography Club meeting for the year. Sticking with one of my goals for 2010, I entered at least one photo into each of the categories. My entries were seriously out-classed, but congratulations to Caitie on her success. Her winning photo in the 'Pure Talent' category was really cool. Hopefully she'll post her entries on her blog. Hint, hint. My entries were:

The rest of the week was quite uneventful, leading into the four-day weekend for Australia Day. Di's 40th birthday was on Saturday night, and what a night it was. No photos (fortunately). Let's just say, that after about 6 cosmopolitans, and 10 dirty cowboy shots, I was in no fit state to be taking photos of anything. With everyone else in the same boat, there wasn't anything pretty to take photos of. Jason, Mick, Di, and BJ stayed up past 8am (which is when I got up). I wish I did have the camera to take one of Di at that point. Mick had given her a very expensive pearl necklace the night before. At 8.30 the next morning, she was still wearing them, with a very pretty dress, but was leaning back in an old green plastic chair, letting it rain on herself, and trying (unsuccessfully) not to throw up. What a pretty picture that would have made....
