Can you believe this guy. 8am arrive and ask for access to power meter for upgrade. Yes, fine. The box is ........and you are safe from the dogs. Lots of interaction across the fence, another 10 minutes etc. Then Energy Man, must have been sucked in by the blonde in the leopard leggings, decides to be a real cool ass in front of his partner and walks into the dogs' yard! Pleeese.....
I did a big run, luckily with broomstick in hand (not on it this morning) just as Flynn and Tess (the Shepherds) have snarling pieces of his shirt in mouths and Molly (lab) being the barking cheerleader. Was terrible and Energy Man saying "wow they are protective aren't they" duh....... Not a good wake up call!
These are the guys who complain about access to meters. I am going to complain about them scaring my dogs!

USE YOUR FACEBOOK WALL FOR CHALLENGES
Well it certainly worked for me. My chore today was to complete the dreaded bank reconcilations and BAS Statement. A bookkeeper I am not.
I so procrastinate over this chore and always leave it to the last minute, 3 months work in two days, ugh. This morning I posted a challenge on my Facebook Wall declaring to all that it would be completed today.
As I never like to lose face and least of all on Facebook, it worked!!! (BIG GRIN)
Now I deserve some time with my friend Chardonnay!
My next challenge will probably be :
"This Witch will do at least one hour of bookwork per week"
Off tomorrow for some final tests and 22nd June still looks like the date for the ops.
Thanks for reading,

WITCH TIPS
This is the first of my collection of handy hints I am happy to share.
Being on my computer for so many hours every day the keys on my board were decidedly not clear! I did consider swapping keyboards with my son when he wasn't here but decided not to be that mean (this time).
Instead I began cleaning each key, very gently, with a "Wet One" wipe. Hey presto the muck came off very easily and I now have legible keys and a very pristine board.
I had only got away with it for so long because I am a touch typist. Any one is wasn't couldn't have used it!!
Til next time

Expat Melbournians
Big day in Hobart, more tests but they all went well for me. Sam was unlucky enough to have a new nurse who really butchered his fistula (where the needles are inserted for dialysis) consequently his arm is massively bruised and very sore. He will be so grateful when dialysis is no longer required.
They have 99% confirmed that it will happen on 22nd June - now it is real (and scarier)!
Sitting here having a vino while I write and don't like the looks Sam is giving me every time there is a drink to hand (ha ha). He is already possessive of MY kidney!
I have a new friend in Hobart who I went playing with today. Deb is a Melbourne expat like me. For any Melbournians who may read this, Deb had the beautiful Le Metro store in South Melbourne until a couple of months ago. Hobart's gain when she sets up business here.
Until next time, thanks for reading.

No Kidding!
Yes, it has been a huge gap between my blogs however now that The Witch has joined Face Book and made it around that obstacle course, I am more confident with my blogging prowess.
The last six months has seen extensive testing happening as a prelude to donating a kidney to my youngest son Sam. His kidney (1) failed late last year and he has been on his own journey of preparation and coping with dialysis.
Late June this year will see the transplant procedure happen at The Royal Melbourne Hospital.
I intend to keep a record of our journey and will keep you updated here.
The reason for sharing this adventure is to encourage others to consider organ donation to improve and/or save a loved one's life.
Thanks for reading.
