Ok it seems I didn’t write or post anything yesterday, how did that happen I opened a page ready to write a post and yet I wrote nothing. Now I know I opened the page then had to leave with Jessica to go to Leo’s appointment with his paediatrician but them of course Jessica wanted me to go and do some grocery shopping for her and when I got home I had to help Kelli with some laminating and when everyone had left I had to vacuum out and tidy the kitchen and somehow along the way I forgot about my blog post.

Anyway back to Leo he is doing ok weight and height wise he isn’t underweight as some members of the family thought and he isn’t either too tall or too short he is pretty ok for a 7 year old, yes there are 7 year olds who are taller then him but considering that he comes from a short family you really can’t expect him to be tall.

His medication is to stay the same for now, another appointment will be made for us to see the paediatrician again around the middle of the year. She said she will do a letter to the school and send it out to us in the next week or so, so I hope she does. She said she will add to the letter that she wants to have Leo accessed by the school counsellor to see if he has any learning difficulties, we had wanted that done last year but the school never got around to doing it.

On thing I don’t like about this new school he will be going to is that they do not have an OOSH (out of school hours) care centre near the school, the Fair Play Cafe operates an after school OOSH according to the school’s booklet I read but it says nothing about before school I guess I would have to contact Fair Play Cafe and find out more.

I am still coughing like I am dying or something at times it seems to have improved but at other times not so much. I will get the repeat of the antibiotics on Friday can’t do it before hand as I don’t have any money for the script this lot run out on tomorrow so I will have to miss a day then go back on them nothing else I can do.

You know last year I spoke about how I can’t have my false teeth in for very long and I wanted to wear them each day and work up to wearing them all the time, well that didn’t happen here it is a new year and I still only wear them to eat when I remember to put them in so I am going to give it another shot learning to wear them by having them in of a morning and hopefully within 3 months I will be use to them and having them in all the time. We will see how that goes.

Well we are into a new year but I will be telling you a bit about the end of the last year today, during the month of December my youngest daughter Jessica moved house and that means Leo will have to change schools when school goes back at the end of the month.

We have already enrolled him into his new school, I am unable to tell you which school he will be going to as Jessica has asked me not to do so, she also doesn’t want me to say where she has moved to but I can tell you she is now only a 10 minute drive from me.

She did most of the moving herself with some help from her friends but no help from her dad as he didn’t have time to help her.

The week after she moved she went and bought a new fridge and a new washing machine, yes new I told her that buying new would mean they would last her for 10 years or more as my washing machine is like 15 years old and the fridge is also years old.

She was given a second hand lounge from her cousin Heather and they even took it to her place for her. So she is pretty happy with things as they are now, they have settled into the new place nicely.

Now in Australia when you hear those words you think of a TV show that ran for 27 years from 1971 to 1999 and yes I know that is 28 years but they took a year off in 1978. It’s host was Daryl Somers from day one to day end, it started out as a Saturday morning children’s program. It later became a night time show in 1984 and have to say it was Tim’s favourite show, me I could take it or leave it but when Tim was home we watched it and have to tell you Tim was home most nights back then so it was pretty much always watched.

How to explain Hey Hey well it was influenced by vaudeville and the American Tonight Show in format and also was in parts kind of like The Marx Brothers or the Goon Show some will even same Monty Python. Does that help? Well if you have never seen any of the above shows or movies maybe not.

Now of course Aussie’s will think of Ossie Ostrich when they think of Hey Hey because there was no way you could have Daryl without Ossie, Ossie was Daryl’s puppet sidekick. He was a pink ostrich who had a light blue mohawk hairstyle he was good natured and funny. Ok in 1994 the voice of Ossie decided to retire so that meant Ossie had to retire and the show wasn’t quite the same without him.

Of course you also may think of “Dickie Knee” when you think of Hey Hey, Dickie was a cheeky “schoolboy” ok what he really was, was a ball with a school cap and wig on a stick, he would pop up in front of Daryl or other guests and make rude remarks, Dickie was operated by a stage hand.

After the show ended there where some reuniion shows which were ok but for me not great, although they did do well in the ratings with a peak of 2.64 million viewers (yes I got the figure from the internet) it even beat out the debut episode of Celebrity MasterChef Australia which only had 1092 million viewers again I know this thanks to the internet.

The show had a number of different segments which I think I will talk about in other posts just because I can. Oh yeah the show can now be found online here: https://www.heyhey.tv/

Damn this post was not suppose to be about an old show how did I manage to get off course like that, I also could write more about the damn show and in fact may do so but not right now. I had planned to tell you some ramblings about my life but that didn’t happen.

Welcome to 2015, I hope it is a great year for everyone, I am expecting the year to be pretty much the same as the last year.

I don’t do New Year resolutions why because I have terrible follow through so what is the point. I am and have always been the type of person who takes life one day at a time. Yes of course I do make some plans but generally day to day I don’t. I wake up of a morning and and take the day as it comes.

How about you? Do you plan out your year or only plan a few things through out the year?

During the year of course we will have birthdays and celebrations but that is pretty much the norm my precious first born daughter will turn 30 this year so I am hoping there will be a big celebration for that.

Sydney-May and her cousins Temika and Liarna all start school this year, of course they will all be going to different schools but I hope all three of them enjoy school.

My Little Leo will be starting a different school although he prefers me to call him my medium Leo as he says he is no longer a Little Leo.

Tim and I are talking about going back to New Zealand this year to see the bottom half of the South Island this I think we will do towards the end of the year. I am also hoping to go on a cruise with my parents and brother and sister in-law sometime this year.

So here’s to 2015 I am hoping it will be a bloody great year for me and all my family and friends.
