One thing I ask of you…
Love me for who I am
and be true.
Love me as a fish loves the sea,
how the bird loves to sing.
Love me as a bee loves its honey,
as an angel love his wings.
Love me and hold me tight
as you tell me everything is all right.
Love me and guard me with all your might
as you hold me near at night.
Love me as I lay a kiss upon your lips,
as the heart in my chest flips.
Here we are at Tuesday and the second extreme creatures post today it’s the Blue Whale.
This whale is big in fact it is the largest creature to live on Earth. It can weigh almost 200 tonnes, which is like four train carriages, its tongue alone is as heavy as an elephant.
It gives birth to a 3 tonne baby which can grow to 30 metres in length and can eat up to 3600 kilograms of food a day.
They have a lifespan of 80-90 years, there are believed to be 25,000 left in the wild.
Good morning all, this Monday is the first day of the last week of term 3 of school. I have been up since 5am, had a good night. Wel here are some facts you may or may not know.
During the French “Reign of terror” from 1793 to 1794, 500,000 people were arrested and 17,000 of them had their head chopped off.
The British flag is not technical called the Union Jack but is actually “The Union Flag” is was called the Union Jack only when out at sea on navy ships.
In the 1790s it was common for people to want bells and other devices to be put on their graves in case they were buried alive.
Also in the 1790s loud horns and electric shocks were used to make sure the dead were actually dead. As at the time there were lots of horror stories about people being buried alive.
A common way for people to check if someone was dead was to put a mirror in front of the person’s mouth.
Saturday again up at 5.11 again, by 6.30 I had managed to wash dress and make breakfast on my own.
At 7.30 Tim stumbles out mostly asleep still, I was surprised as he usually gets up around 9am, he was looking at the clock so I told him the time. He thought it was midday, realising it wasn’t he went back to bed. It was 9.30 when he did get up for the day.
Been another warm day.

Father’s Day today and I don’t have anything for Tim who feels that since he bought himself a new phone a few weeks back that, that is his Father’s Day present.
A much cooler day and a bit windy but not too bad.
Managed to print off some letters tomorrow I will place them in their already addressed envelopes.
I am slowly starting to feel more with it after 11am, from the time I get up to 11am I am ok functioning normal like, I have motivation and get things done. After 11 nothing.
5-9-21
Had a decent nights sleep woke at 3 and at 4 got up at 4.50am just having breakfast and starting my day.
Wrote a couple more letters and put the ones printed in envelopes now I just need stamps and someone to post them.
Been a cool day but no windy.
6-9-21
Slept well, got up at 3.30 to pee and then managed to dose on & off till 4.50am. Now ready for the day.
While going to the toilet I knocked over a candle and smashed part of the glass. I managed to clean it up on my own.
Tim left early for work as he needs to take the car to an auto electrician as the other night when he came home from work in rain the windscreen wipers would not turn off he called the NRMA and they did something to turn them off. I hope it is going to cost much to repair.
Wrote and printed 3 more letters.
Tasha has gone to clean Kelli’s house, so Jess is going to put me to bed

A new day has arrived for me, I am up washed and dressed for the day.
Yesterday afternoon I put one of the staysharp into its sharping part upside down and it got stuck. Neither me nor Leo could budge it. However this morning Tasha bashed the end of it 3 times and pulled it out.
Leo is in a sad mood this afternoon but when asked if everything was ok he said he was just tired.
At one point school was on a break and he was flying his drone and it got stuck on their carport roof, thankfully Leo has no problem getting up there and retrieving it.
Saw Dave & Dawson when they came to borrow the trailer, it was good seeing them.
8-9-21
Had a good night sleep, now awake and dressed for the day.
No motivation today, checked emails, sorted laundry, read blogs, vacuumed out but didn’t do much else.
A pretty warm day.
9-9-21
Up at 5.10 and after a shower I was dressed and ready for the day. Going to be another warm day.
Sent Kathy-Lee a birthday message she is 36 today.
I got Tasha to get me a prepaid parcel post bag so I can send Jeannie her birthday present.
Not warm but very warm day.
Leo has decided that he wants to earn some money by helping out friends and family by doing yard work and other little jobs around the house. He kicked this off by mowing our back yard after he cleaned it up.

Hello everyone, here we are at Friday and this Friday is the last babies say love post.
Babies say love from the moment they’re born
and nothing can quite take away.
The thrill and the joy
of those beautiful things.
That only a baby
can say

You come to me crying, saying it’s done,
That life is pointless, I shouldn’t have one.
I tell you to stop, I beg and I plead.
You say the knife is your friend, it wants you to bleed.
But everyone here wants you to stay.
I’m crying, I’m shaking, please don’t go away.
Life means so much; you just haven’t found out.
So forget who planted that seed of doubt.
And as your knives and guns disappear,
Still know that I’ll always be here.
I know what it’s like, I’ve been through it all,
So hang on tight, I’m not gonna let you fall.
Reach for my hand, ’cause it’s held out for you.
My shoulders are small, but you can cry on them too.
If you leave, you’ll be missed by many,
Especially me, and I will not forget any
Of the moments we had, laughs we shared,
The times we needed each other when we were scared.
The world wouldn’t be better if you left, but worse,
And so now it’s time for me to reverse this curse.
I’ll teach you how to save a life,
So unlike many, it won’t have to end in strife.
Hello everyone, today is Tuesday and this Tuesday is the first of a new series called Australia’s Extreme Creatures.
Life is tough in the animal kingdom and survival depends on being the best at evading predators and finding food.
These animals have developed some amazing abilities and characteristics in their quest to be the best.
Kicking off with the Great Barrier Reef which is off the east coast of this great country in the state of Queensland. It is the largest coral reef in the world at 2300 kilometres.
A coral reef is like an underwater city, built by tiny living animals called polyps. Many species of plant, fish and other organisms live together on a reef. Just like us humans live with other animals and plants.
Hello world, hello Monday the start of another school week and life is good as can be expected. Well it is time for some facts.
The Sun’s warming rays travel through 93 million miles of space to reach Earth. Moving at the speed of light, they make the trip in just eight minutes. A jet airliner would need more than 18 years to complete the same journey.
Jupiter’s moon Io, has the most spectacular scenery in the solar system. Io’s low gravity means that it’s volcanoes can throw boiling rock 50 miles in the air.
The tallest sand dunes found anywhere in the world are inn the Sahara Desert. A single dune has enough sand in it to bury the Eiffel Tower.
There are a thousand times more living things in the sea than there are on land.
A typical lightning bolt is three inches wide and two miles long.
Another rough night had to get up after a couple of hours for a couple of hours.
I then had to go to the loo before Leo put me back into bed, I then slept till 4am when I needed to get Tim to help me out of bed in order to pee. I managed to get back into bed but half an hour I needed his help to get up again, as I was shaking terribly from head to toe.
I was so bad I rang Tasha who came and helped.
Having a restless day asking for help a lot, frustrating Tim.
28-8-21
Had a better night, still woke at 4.30am but I had slept well.
Tasha came down and gave me a smoke which helped a lot.
Tim has done a few jobs around the house. Tasha helped him change the rollers on the front sliding door.
Tim has sent off some emails to some Occupational Therapists to try and find one for me.
Mostly a lazy day
29-8-21
Slept in till 5.45am which was a shock to me and Tasha.
There was an incident last night the woman/bitch in unit 14 started having a go at Tim when he was out the front having a smoke. She was yelling and swearing telling him to get inside, he gave her the finger.
She then had a go at Jess and called Leo a retard.
Tasha took me to have my knees Xrayed.
Had a phone call from an occupational therapist she said she will contact my GP and get back to me in a few days.
Been a better day
30-8-21
Up at 5.10am, washed, dressed and ready for the day.
Started a letter but didn’t get very far with it as no concentration
A nice day spent doing nothing.
31-8-21
Had a good night, woke at 3am needing to pee but decided to try and hold on to 5am, however, after what felt like 5 minutes I decided I really needed to go. After I r returned to the bedroom I realised it was 4.30 so I decided to stay up.
Leo hasn’t dawdle getting ready for school since the start of lockdown.
A warm day, I was able to wash and hang sheets on the line, well Tim did.
1-9-21
Had a good night, also had a nice hot shower this morning.
Last night I remember Tim telling me light in the kitchen had gone and he would replace the tube in the morning. However, this meant it was dark when Tasha got my breaky.
Been a warm day, Leo had the day off school as the online learning is getting to him.
2-9-21
I woke at 4am, thought I would give it an hour before getting up. However, my bladder thought different so at 4.15 I got up. I was washed and dressed for the day when Tasha arrived. I am in shorts as supposed to be warm again.
Been a good day managed to write 4 letters.

And they say it each time they look into your eyes,
and hiccup with milk on their breath.
