you don't wanna know....start 2013 again.... so far 2 punctures on my shoprider, tv blew up, scooter broken big time, and now the freaking vac had packed a sad.... what else? Looks like the Mayan calendar has ended, the world has not and for want of something to replace it 1013 is chaos bent at full tit.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body.
But rather, to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming...
WOW, What a Ride!"
Please note: IMHO and e&oe apply to all my posts.

Let's see, so far....
Hydranger that we have had for close to 20 years caused a blockage of our soil pipe - late on a Saturday night. So had to call out a drain clearer on a Sunday.
Vet bills - Between Sally and Bobby in a month the credit card racked up a balance too big to pay off in a month. This was the same month as the drain problem.
That month was February - it will be May by the time the bank balances get back into the more comfortable zone thanks to the washing machine breaking down a fortnight ago.
To top it off we have had the first funeral of the year this weekend - Shelley Brown, the lady who choked to death on Easter Monday (the second death assoicated with Birkenhead College that weekend) was one of Sp2's two teacher aides.
We had wondered if Sp2 even felt grief as she has shown no reaction in the past. We have an answer now - she does - it just takes a bit of time for her to process the information and react.

I absolutely refuse for 2013 to be a bad year. 2010, 2011 and 2012 were 'crap crap crap' as you were

Yeah, gotta keep looking on the bright side.
So the rain didn't come and some of my garden died or caused problems. The plus side is that I had bigger crops of pears, plums and apples than I have had for years. The feijoas are looking like bumper crop as well even if they are a bit on the small side.
