Netball On Golden Pond?

OK OK!!! Please note this is the second blog in a month, actually the second in a week. Well with temperatures outside down to 5 degrees C (and not much warmer indoors!) I am getting into 'curled up on the sofa' mode so blog entries may improve in frequency. No promises though.

Had an eventful morning at netball on Saturday. Harriette and Alice, as I mentioned before, were playing each other. Well I can say that Alice's team did score a goal. At 15 - 1 Leah in Harriette's team fell badly. As she sent down it became obvious it wasn't a routine fall when she screamed out in pain. I always try to hold back a bit in these situations waiting to see if a proper first aider responds but when no one went near her I went to help. She had a dislocated knee. We had to wait while the ambulance crew dealt with a rugby injury before coming to us but eventually she was sorted and taken to the little hospital here in Matamata for an X-Ray. Needless to say the game did not resume but I think it will be clear who won. Leah's netball season looks to be over though as she has 6 weeks of physio ahead of her.

After that we had a routine Saturday shopping and other boring stuff. I found a cheap DVD of On Golden Pond in the Warehouse, which I bought and we watched with pizzas in the evening. This movie is one I watched over and over again in the mid 1980's while working in Respiratory ICU when I was working at Johanessburg Hospital. I love it. Definately one for you Robyn!

Sunday H and A cooked supper for us all at Mom and Daddy's. It was Mother's Day here and so I was excused from the kitchen! It was hosing down when Mom and Daddy drove back from the airport and I think they had quite a hairy journey home and certainly appreciated the house being warm and welcoming. They had a good trip to Auz.

Yesterday was taken up with a crisis with a friend not to be gone into on blog. It just made me appreciate, once again, how lucky we are. I have 2 OK kids and a wonderful husband. We have our ups and downs but basically all love each other passionately and we all know that and will always be there for each other. With that we can weather any storm. It's when that fall apart that life reaches the depths of despair.
