She wandered around and couldnt sit with me, looking for someone to tell something to but not being able to remember what it was that she was supposed to say. She would look at me and I could see her trying to put the puzzle together. She wandered in her mind from her teenage years to the war years to the early, early after her arrival in Australia.The here and now was something that was only visited for a minute at a time. <br />I asked staff how she was and was told that she has been causing problems with wandering in the middle of the night and embarrasing herself, staying in other people's rooms, taking their clothes and being inappropriate.<br />So a decision has had to be made to move her into a high care dementia ward.<br />Thank God that means only moving her down the hall and behind secured doors.<br />There the residents are all monitored and staff are trained to take care of dementia patients - where she is now is really still a general area and there are still residents there that have all their marbles, they are just old and frail.<br />This was very sad today.<br />I understand how Anchell feels - as much as you KNOW things are going to change for the worse you can NEVER be prepared enough for when you see it happen. There is always a part of you that wishes to remain ignorant in the hope that its just not going to happen, but it does.<br />Mum is a stranger to herself.<br />Whatever she believes is good enough for now - tomorrow things will be different and she will have forgotten again.<br />One day soon I will turn up and she will not know who I am, and when that happens it will be very, very sad, but it WILL happen and I will just have to come to terms with it.<br />The most important thing is that she is being taken care of, she is eating and seems to drift in and out of a frustrated way of being. She has no major complications with her health and that is a blessing.<br />Another day...another step into the darkness.wykd wytchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09637043370807967487noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019264.post-37963076649336874472009-11-30T23:39:00.000-08:002009-11-30T23:50:53.853-08:00So close to Christmas and what am I doing at home?This is such a surreal experience to actually be at home at this time of the year. Usually I am up to my armpits in calendars.<br />I am at loose ends, but enjoying it. I am cooking and getting fat from eating what Im cooking and cleaning the house ( sporadically )and painting.<br />I am reading a lot and spending time at the library. It occurred to me last night that I have been reading spiritual books ever since I have been about 17 years old - over thirty years of reading, yet I am learning more now than ever before.If I was studying to be a brain surgeon, I would have graduated and be specialising by now - yet with this stuff I feel that I have hardly even scatched the surface.<br />Its all about experiencing it, I guess, and I am out to try and get as much experience as I can - maybe I can still find my niche in all of this.<br /><br />Tomorrow I am off to Sydney to see mum. I have got her perfume, deoderant , nail polish and nail poilsh remover - all the essentials that she has asked for!wykd wytchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09637043370807967487noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019264.post-6967166756046329002009-11-28T15:41:00.000-08:002009-11-28T15:49:53.043-08:00Dust and more dust!The dust is back - a thick cloud working its way into every small hole and crevass - up my nose and in my lungs. am keeping Maksimus the puggy inside today as he will seize up and pass out left outside in this weather.

This then will keep me motivated and producing new works of art.<br />I am also into an new painting which features another horse ( I can hear Raihn groan from here )this one is a challenge as it is a white horse and it is bloody hard to paint white!<br />I am also highly into learning about the astral body and am reading a fascinating book written all the way back in 1928 which is making a lot of sense to me.<br /><br />Tomorrow I will probably head to Sydney for a long overdue visit with mum and Friday I am off delivering paintings to my last art show of the year and then down to Maitland to visit the new Organic Feast shop.<br />Never a dull moment!wykd wytchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09637043370807967487noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019264.post-45479941682885019602009-11-22T18:16:00.001-08:002009-11-22T18:19:17.952-08:00Developing my style....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPUcfsr2Ec_s_R9AlbWXXFoURstaUp5wSLFDhZkFSg9q9RsnMfWjP8bRgNWVjEsUIWo3ae7JfyNC7F1eTZ0FBKaYCX_UdchjWQ11ZxuVHPDMaykdgFVzAu4L7XqCOwRRRSRnin/s1600/equus.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPUcfsr2Ec_s_R9AlbWXXFoURstaUp5wSLFDhZkFSg9q9RsnMfWjP8bRgNWVjEsUIWo3ae7JfyNC7F1eTZ0FBKaYCX_UdchjWQ11ZxuVHPDMaykdgFVzAu4L7XqCOwRRRSRnin/s320/equus.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407117600555186354" /></a><br /><br />I really love this painting.

Heaven help us all if this is a sign of what summer is going to be like!<br />I dont do heat very well...<br />Both of my doggies are inside in the air conditioning and with plenty of water.<br />I worry about all those that are sweltering away locked in a shed or on a leash in the back yard.<br />The man is relaxing today - it was his 'operation anniversary' yesterday. It has been three years since his successful prostate operation.<br />I have to travel to Lemon Tree passage shortly in this heat to pick up mu paintings from the exhibition. The Getz is a cool little car, good on fuel, but also like a mini sauna in the heat. The front window seems to direct and catch all the heat.<br />Maybe they should just place 100 Getz's side by side and they could act like a big solar panel?????Idea????Mmmm???<br />I am also working on a new painting, slightly different in style than my normal..I am liking it and will share with you all soon!wykd wytchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09637043370807967487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019264.post-18753309097962649242009-11-20T00:09:00.001-08:002009-11-20T00:13:57.705-08:00Our beautiful Leanne<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAyBr_50HHKySPqEkrA1IKPGo94pkC-T_QdcD2S3npyDNC6_5uQfxybbYZ8iEsx2Sp4hsT2xUqU0Lb1xYMYXwFFZtBMPilXo9bvnub6x0irR3oXg2dIc_h-AIyjh9ZpUGO4SQh/s1600/leannes+wedding.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAyBr_50HHKySPqEkrA1IKPGo94pkC-T_QdcD2S3npyDNC6_5uQfxybbYZ8iEsx2Sp4hsT2xUqU0Lb1xYMYXwFFZtBMPilXo9bvnub6x0irR3oXg2dIc_h-AIyjh9ZpUGO4SQh/s320/leannes+wedding.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406095371637517794" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This is a shot from Leanne's dawn wedding held last Saturday.<br />She looked gorgeous - I really hope that they had a magnificent honeymoon!wykd wytchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09637043370807967487noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019264.post-14296904833151088392009-11-18T21:27:00.000-08:002009-11-18T21:28:41.009-08:00Two words - PAP SMEAR!Have you had yours done recently?<br />Come on....get it done if you are due.<br />No excuses!!!!!wykd wytchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09637043370807967487noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019264.post-90633395979616893022009-11-17T22:23:00.000-08:002009-11-17T22:30:30.104-08:00How can a tooth cost THAT MUCH!Well, I had waited long enough and a visit to the dentist was long overdue.<br />Today was the day and I was hoping for good news but I had been living with a dodgy tooth for a while now.<br />It initially chipped but most recently the rest of the filling had actually started to move away from the rest of the tooth.<br />So in I went.<br />Ýes they could fix it...cheapest cost was $1800 plus a visit or two to the specialist to fix my gum first dearest was about $4000.<br />!!!!!!!!!<br />I chose to get it pulled out - that only set me back $270.<br />Really......wykd wytchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09637043370807967487noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019264.post-49046226619217457722009-11-16T12:40:00.001-08:002009-11-16T12:49:00.334-08:00another horse..<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS63-CoILC5YCNUA1cw-hlQmf6j1_l4Gn5Rr-gKi3JoGj5tUGhKJ9HDHsg7QJnq-qA8khqdkxugQdGOWC2n8gnAFTya-rR8TtuI5Se8k7lPU-HyCrKhBZIr1MRQAbc3biFBk3B/s1600/HORSE.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS63-CoILC5YCNUA1cw-hlQmf6j1_l4Gn5Rr-gKi3JoGj5tUGhKJ9HDHsg7QJnq-qA8khqdkxugQdGOWC2n8gnAFTya-rR8TtuI5Se8k7lPU-HyCrKhBZIr1MRQAbc3biFBk3B/s320/HORSE.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404805991930883762" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Here is my latest completed artwork-still exploring horses, might keep tackling them for a few weeks yet, but would be interested to try some nudes...anyone care to model for me????wykd wytchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09637043370807967487noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019264.post-63877871479499705092009-11-14T13:11:00.000-08:002009-11-14T13:19:06.406-08:002 weddings and a ghost tour - sounds like a movie?Boy, all that partying has worn out this little black duck!<br />Our other wedding yesterday was very special - I am somehow drawn to the very private garden events. People get to have a say in their vows, in the way it is presented - it seems so much more personal and authentic.<br />After the ceremony in the couple's back yard we went to Nelson Bay Golf Club for the grand reception.<br />Such a beautiful place and driving through the back roads of Anna Bay made me wish I could own one of the little old houses that stud that road, the 'old' bay houses with an acre or two around them and plenty of bush and privacy in between.<br />I remembered the time when over 30 years ago you could buy a block of land at the bay for peanuts and many people said "Why would you want to live out there?"wykd wytchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09637043370807967487noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019264.post-59085373605249604122009-11-13T16:50:00.000-08:002009-11-13T16:56:35.572-08:00One wedding down and one to go!I should be having a snooze but I have had so much coffee that I dont think its possible!<br />After a very late night having spent three hours roaming around Morpeth being followed by various spirit entities and having my brains sizzled with new experiences I braved the morning waking at 4 am to get ready for our friends sunrise wedding.<br />I was not a pretty sight!<br />Last night's Morpeth Ghost Tour was fantasic - I thoroughly recomment it to anyone wanting a spooky experience -the energies abound everywhere and the validation received by tour director Troy was priceless!<br />He is a wealth of information and well worth the small investment for a totally great evening out.<br />Ut, after all of this I was still hyped up from so much activity the night before to get to sleep before 1.30 and then to wake and try and make myself look decent - not an easy job.<br />Now is rest time and then on the road to Nelson Bay to another wedding at 5 pm.<br />Tomorrow I sleep.....wykd wytchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09637043370807967487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019264.post-48043940098584422822009-11-12T02:36:00.000-08:002009-11-12T02:42:07.856-08:00Big weekend aheadI am looking forward to catching up with friends and spending tomorrow evening wandering around Morpeth doing a ghost tour - there are some very interesting and historic buildings in the area.
