It's Monday night and we've just come home from the finals soccer game played by our Barnies Church team. They did a great job but did not win. It was fun cheering them on.

I had put together some red salmon patties before we left and have just cooked them and I can't believe Roger is on his third one! Needless to say they are a great hit and easy for him to eat! They certainly are pretty yummy.

We both continue to struggle along. Saturday night was the first night in several months that I have had an undisturbed nights sleep and it has helped a little. I would just like a few more like this to get some of my strength back.

Today we both went into work. Roger did extremely well with his scanning and I must say it does take his mind off himself and the office atmosphere is so lovely and very supportive. I enjoyed being back and everyone just let me settle back in without demanding too much of me!

It was difficult this morning as the phone started ringing around 8.45 and I was trying to get myself and Roger ready to face the day. Three phone calls in 1/2 hour is too much for me to cope with. We were expecting help for Roger, but they didn't arrive. Not sure what went wrong.

Tomorrow morning Trevor is coming to look at the bathroom again. It looks like the renovation will take place SOON. But I won't hold my breath. And goodness knows how we are going to cope without a bathroom for a week or two! I am so tired I don't know how I am going to cope with all that is going on.

I did get to the beach yesterday with Irene. We weren't very impressed with the rough seas, so decided to walk along the beach instead then sit on our towels and chat. The waves calmed down and we looked at each other and said "why not!!". So, I had my first swim after winter on 11 September. Not bad eh?

Tomorrow is the first anniversary of our arrival in Perth. So much has happened in 12 months and our lives have changed drastically.
