    They do say that dogs have masters while cats have slaves.

    @Sister so very true - she is way too intelligent for her own good - would love to know what if going on in that brain of hers.

    Just read a lovely news article on old caravans (the Sunliners) from the 1960's gathering in your area on the ABC website.

    Talk about flashbacks. Anyone over a certain age would remember the delights of childhood holidays by the beach in one of these. Especially the childhood arguments (and tears) as to who was  going to sleep in the top bunk. My mother solved these squabbles by sleeping there herself. My younger brother and I never did learn.

    Thanks for that @Annie C   .....  haha - sibling rivalry is so funny in SO many ways!  LOL   Clever Mum tho!  

    Yes, we used to go to a caravan park at Lake Illawarra ..... my Dad bought a similar caravan that sat in our front yard for years - he was going to put onto a couple of pontoons & add a motor, to turn it into an 'easy houseboat' - but sadly he passed away at 51, before he got to finish it  :(   I still think now & then - what an EASY way to make a houseboat!!!  ;)

    A cognitively impaired woman who has had 2 hours sleep should not attempt to tile a shower cubicle. Ive done such a terrible job it's almost comic. Ceramics by Picasso--halfway between cubism and surrealism periods. Gawd.

    The mess is epic; while trying to get the adhesive on the walls i totally lost all coordination; standing on a ladder trying to catch this sticky grey stuff as it's sliding off my trowel and landing on my head. My hands are covered in it as is the floor, the walls, my clothes.... In the end I'm standing there laugh/crying, wishing I had wine and wondering if I'll ever have the will to pull the whole lot down.

    @Zoffiel Give @kezmusc a call. I hear she's handy with a sledgehammer and a crow bar.  ;)

    Gosh I am laughing outloud here! So sorry but the scene you describe so well is very funny!  :D

    Shall I pop up tomorrow to give you a hand? I'll bring wine...

    In my cognitively deprived state i’ve Stubbed a toe on my left foot which I’m quite sure is not a good idea day 1 post treatment - did that walking downstairs, then bashed my left shin into who knows what and my coup de grace was listing left when I stood up at highpoint today (so picture heaps of people shopping centre) and I’m listing left like a drunk(oh how I wish]. Entertaining for everyone but me

    Ooh @Sarnicad take care! Maybe you have a touch of vertigo? Hopefully the hat trick of incidents is the end of it.

    @Sarnicad I was really uncoordinated, and off kilter during chemo - didn’t have the best balance.

    @Kiwi Angel @Sarnicad Me too. Still am a bit now. I think it's the Letrozole. Dizziness is listed as a side effect and I get it way more than I used to.

    Me too. I'm still off-balance and clumsy a lot of the time. Because I'm having radiation now, I'm off Letrozole, and I'm not getting the aches I had while on it; but I'm still unsteady. I don't know if I'll go back on it straight after radiation or she might want me to wait a couple of weeks. Shall see. I've only had four days of rads so far, but my chesticle is feeling a bit warm and is pinkish tonight.

    @Flaneuse just clumsy especially the toe stub!  When I was out today I’d been out for a while with the birthday boy so I’m hoping just over tired came home and napped for 3 hours hoping that won’t stuff up the sleep too much tonight!
