As we travel along the road I often take snaps of some of God's many houses we pass by. These buildings range from ordinary to ostentatious. <div><br /></div><div>For the <a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/" target="_blank">Blogging from A to Z April 2024 Blogging Challenge</a><b> </b>my theme is <b>Gods' Houses. </b>During April<b> </b>I invite you to join me for an online tour of <b>Gods' Houses</b> from my digital albums</div><div><br />I will endeavour to post on this blog each day in April (excepting Sunday).

Following is a repost from 5th October 2013.<br /><br />This week Julie Goucher of <a href="http://anglersrest.blogspot.com/">Angler's Rest</a> asked us to respond to the following prompt in <a href="http://geneabloggers.com/book-written-prompt-4-favourite-seasons/">The Book of Me, Written by You activity</a>.<br />The prompt for week 5 is Your Childhood Home<br /><br />When did you leave home?<br />Where was it?<br />Where did you move to?<br />Was it rented or owned? – with parents/Grandparents<br />Was it inherited<br />What was it like – describe it – each room.<br />Were there a favourite room?<br />Is there anything you particularly remember from the house?<br />Pictures<br />The road & area<br />__________________________________________________<br /><br /><div>My first home was just a room in a house in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensington,_New_South_Wales">Kensington</a> opposite my maternal grandmother's home. I think, while my dad was at work, my mother and I spent most of our time across the road. In post war times housing was in short supply in Sydney so finding self contained accommodation was a challenge. I have absolutely no memories of this place.<br /><br />As it happened my father's two younger sisters had moved from the country to Sydney and were renting a one-bedroom flat in what was then a fashionable area, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kings_Cross,_New_South_Wales">Kings Cross</a>. They must have taken pity on their brother and his family as they gave up their flat for us and moved into the family home with their parents. I believe we moved here when I was about one and we stayed till I was around nine. I remember our Wedgwood blue kitchen, the dark Jacobean furniture, playing in the park with my little friends and being spoilt rotten by elderly, childless next door neighbours. I don't have any pictures of the flat but I was able to find a current photo of the building on a real estate site and it looks pretty much how it did when I was a child.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vgtf4y_uoHw/Uk69ZsnHdvI/AAAAAAAAK04/ehLctH46-Sw/s1600/kentwood.PNG"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vgtf4y_uoHw/Uk69ZsnHdvI/AAAAAAAAK04/ehLctH46-Sw/s400/kentwood.PNG" /></a><br />Kentwood Court, Kings Cross<br /><br />When my parents were offered a Housing Commission home in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malabar,_New_South_Wales">Malabar</a> I was nine, they had been looking to purchase a home closer to Sydney but decided to take up the offer of this house at Malabar that was 8 miles from Sydney's CBD and a 1 mile walk to public transport. I think it was quite a shock for my mother who was used to having the city on her doorstep to move to a house where the closest shop was a mile away instead of the 50 yards was used to. My father purchased a car very soon after the move to Malabar.<br /><br />I loved having my own pretty pink bedroom and a yard to play in; there were lots of young families in the street so even though I was an only child there were plenty of playmates. We seemed to have a lot more freedom than children do these days and I remember being able to go with my friends to swim in the rock pool at Malabar or in the safe beach down at Little Bay.There was a lot of vacant land in the vicinity so we kids were able to build cubby houses and explore to our hearts content.<br /><br />The thing that I didn't like about this house was that it was in an unsewered area and we did not have a septic tank, ours was an old-fashioned dunny. I was especially spooked when I had to visit our outside loo at night<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qEhPrf0kv_w/Uk7DLeLX56I/AAAAAAAAK1I/7Wc1t1n8Pi8/s1600/null_065.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qEhPrf0kv_w/Uk7DLeLX56I/AAAAAAAAK1I/7Wc1t1n8Pi8/s400/null_065.jpg" /></a><br />Our little house at Malabar before the garden grew<br /><br />Even though she was a country girl I don't think my mother ever got used to living at Malabar. When I was in high school I returned to the inner-city school that I had attended when we lived in Kings Cross, I had to catch three buses to get to school. When I was 14 we moved again. This time it was to a brand-new home unit (apartment) that my parents bought at Randwick, a suburb that was only 4 miles from the city and much closer to transport and services. <br /><br />I loved living in a home unit with its modern bathroom and inside toilet and we even got our first telephone connected, that was teenage heaven. Although it was a small building there were half a dozen other kids my age in residence, we quickly bonded and had a wonderful time just hanging out or getting sunburnt at Coogee Beach that was only a 15 min walk away. When I left school and started socialising our convenient location made it easy for me to travel about and get home safely. A taxi fare home was only two dollars from busy Peters Corner. <br /><br />Although our living room wasn't huge Mum always seemed to be able to accommodate and feed the groups of friends I brought home from the beach or our youth club for a meal. My teenage years at Randwick were very happy.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ogQuRDsiNV0/Uk7DbpiKofI/AAAAAAAAK1Q/gMj-GfUdMNw/s1600/1965_06_017.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ogQuRDsiNV0/Uk7DbpiKofI/AAAAAAAAK1Q/gMj-GfUdMNw/s400/1965_06_017.jpg" /></a><br />Geniaus aged 16 in the garden of our home unit block<br /><br />I don't have any photos of the interior of the Randwick building but I do have some pictures taken on the last day that I lived there, my wedding day.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9AyaVeOu8ps/Uk7N2y6iqzI/AAAAAAAAK1g/hpV_kCRfaho/s1600/File0012.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9AyaVeOu8ps/Uk7N2y6iqzI/AAAAAAAAK1g/hpV_kCRfaho/s400/File0012.jpg" /></a><br />With Dad and Mum in our living room on my wedding day<br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">© Copyright Jill Ball 2021</div>GeniAushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09074874999181040071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123365462417480925.post-16013601634252841512024-02-12T19:54:00.004+11:002024-02-12T19:54:46.740+11:00What do your mugs say about you?<p>Have you ever received a Coffee Mug as a present?</p><p>I have quite a collection of mugs that have been gifted to me over the years.

I intend to post an update on this blog every month. I think I can manage that.</p><p>When I started this challenge I planned to answer the prompts in the order they appeared on the challenge site. I managed for the first two weeks but then, due to the availability of the titles I selected, I had to stray.

The goal is to match one book to each prompt, for a total of fifty-two books over the course of the year. Prompts are related to everything from specific titles, to cover designs, authors, genres, settings, themes, characters, etc."</i> <div><br /></div><div>The challenge gives one the flexibility to attack the prompts in no particular order. To avoid an end of year panic I must remember to knock over some difficult prompts early in the year.<p>I completed and really enjoyed <a href="https://ballau.blogspot.com/2021/12/should-i.html" target="_blank">a similar challenge in 2022</a>. I didn't enjoy the challenge I enrolled for in 2023 so ditched them after a couple of months.</p><p><b>I am ready for 2024. </b>I will be sharing the results of my challenge reading here on this blog probably in monthly posts. I may also share on other social media channels and Facebook and Goodreads groups devoted to the challenge.</p><p>Please wish me luck as I find books that fit the following themes:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ5TNdHwElEryTFUXpjjU-btDvrw6I2FiV896xDg601JvWYASGaKmLiLiBdI0p6Zs5m0gvDW-v0NM2Li-OisciCn6ysvxK5oEJHLlC47RprlGGUqcIPBQYGmWu6ltqaURAu9jEDIO0Ft7416xxSOS5KBEu9-uGELvknmlAxF85EOjiMSBRLxNLWqbRvzvl/s2000/202412List52BkClub.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1414" height="697" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ5TNdHwElEryTFUXpjjU-btDvrw6I2FiV896xDg601JvWYASGaKmLiLiBdI0p6Zs5m0gvDW-v0NM2Li-OisciCn6ysvxK5oEJHLlC47RprlGGUqcIPBQYGmWu6ltqaURAu9jEDIO0Ft7416xxSOS5KBEu9-uGELvknmlAxF85EOjiMSBRLxNLWqbRvzvl/w492-h697/202412List52BkClub.png" width="492" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">© Copyright Jill Ball 2021</div>GeniAushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09074874999181040071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123365462417480925.post-23315233823204807772023-12-28T14:47:00.003+11:002023-12-28T15:44:50.701+11:00122 Titles <p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAudbV6sV7RQlMsZarhzwGFiOVYLmAmzETpKClScqooI_C8rQYLRMCAQ2yhSE-92mAo97ZuqfXjdIaatzkQz8T8D6qcqBb5mR5W-Dc_kLXR_6qlSHp6c8KoYJCl22Lspxp4PguG4le2oFw_IS62bWnTYU4SRzE9Hf535LtDwHOfk2h8UHJJcCTzr-31G6h/s290/Screenshot%202023-12-28%20143022.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="174" data-original-width="290" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAudbV6sV7RQlMsZarhzwGFiOVYLmAmzETpKClScqooI_C8rQYLRMCAQ2yhSE-92mAo97ZuqfXjdIaatzkQz8T8D6qcqBb5mR5W-Dc_kLXR_6qlSHp6c8KoYJCl22Lspxp4PguG4le2oFw_IS62bWnTYU4SRzE9Hf535LtDwHOfk2h8UHJJcCTzr-31G6h/w400-h240/Screenshot%202023-12-28%20143022.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Reading Challenge Completed </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><p>Following on <a href="https://ballau.blogspot.com/2022/12/" target="_blank">my success in the 2022 Reading Challenge</a> I set myself a goal of 120 titles to read in 2023. </p><p>When travelling I don't read as much as when I'm at home because I give exploring our destinations priority over my reading.

We have 12 grandchildren, 10 of them are currently of school age. </p><p>Many schools in Australia break for their summer holidays at the end of that week and extra-curricular dance, drama and music teachers often schedule soirees, concerts and performances during that time.</p><p>Yesterday we had three options, a dance performance featuring a granddaughter, a different dance performance featuring two other granddaughters and a Christmas Carol service featuring grandsons. We attended the first dance performance as we RSVPed and purchased a ticket to that first. </p><p>This morning we were up early to watch an end of year celebration at a granddaughter's school. This was Livestreamed via Vimeo so we were able to watch our girl receive her award. Tomorrow morning we will watch her little sister's event.

My kids loved these and now my grandchildren who have developed a taste for them often request when coming to our home for dinner.</p><p>Back on 6th October Robert and I prepared some cutlets for dinner with a daughter and her daughters. I had been feeling a little unwell during the day but I still managed to put three cutlets away. </p><p>Four weeks later our other daughter and her family visited for a cutlet dinner. On this occasion Robert prepared the meal and I exercised restraint by devouring only one cutlet. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW2GVi8ctaLLc9vi3ScTcdvh2sy5wjVELp1NNxvNSMhx_X7E4JT-idgwnhnTfeR_hNVYrAttSq0gxS68ovHaVZqhB7ClUSYID_MvuqBWZB4xIGPErKL801P2x8vs6B3haCHJD_ygCQWNG1r61biFTqQcBy4YpiHkqj-FqgX_IwK7IRPxF4gshLnzGjX8E_/s1560/20231103_180928c.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1170" data-original-width="1560" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW2GVi8ctaLLc9vi3ScTcdvh2sy5wjVELp1NNxvNSMhx_X7E4JT-idgwnhnTfeR_hNVYrAttSq0gxS68ovHaVZqhB7ClUSYID_MvuqBWZB4xIGPErKL801P2x8vs6B3haCHJD_ygCQWNG1r61biFTqQcBy4YpiHkqj-FqgX_IwK7IRPxF4gshLnzGjX8E_/w400-h300/20231103_180928c.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Crumbed Cutlets - a family favourite</td></tr></tbody></table><p>The four weeks between these two cutlet meals proved to be rather eventful for me.</p><p>I had a most uncomfortable night on the 6th October with sharp abdominal pain. On being woken by me early on the 7th Robert said "I'm taking you to hospital". </p><p>By 6:30 am I had been delivered to Lake Macquarie Private Hospital Emergency Department where I was given some welcome pain relief and had blood tests and a CT scan. I was made comfortable and had to wait for the pathology and CT results. It didn't look good. I had diverticulitis, a perforated bowel and an abscess in my colon. The consultant on call wanted me transferred to the large public hospital nearby where I could have emergency surgery immediately if necessary.</p><p>So this reluctant patient was popped into an ambulance for her ride to John Hunter Hospital. On arrival I was assessed by the surgical team who, because I had other medical issues, decided to treat my condition conservatively with IV antibiotics and other mysterious potions. For nearly two weeks and after daily blood tests and two CT scans it was noted that the IV treatment wasn't doing its job and that the abscess was growing.</p><p>At this time I was tired of the public hospital and felt like a ping pong ball being bounced from one doctor to another. I finally demanded a change to a surgeon (nominated by me) and a transfer to the private hospital down the road. At last I got some action. I was transferred and scheduled for surgery on 20th August. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuoeIMsxdXyFlglvkQNQKtmZnscWtR6u9xuptTHj4GQaYxAyokENi3o0ZTs0rNvnuMNSwgvcTM1iL9pCTRTlySTBCIrprq4cXSXOwx-ADaUrgP8jDGYl6mqgmXzvnKYJSqcCWMIcB53wh9MHLJbqYBpaOucCVF0J1meK6yIKL20wIsYlI2YzfS7DfOfCOq/s800/20231020_125803.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuoeIMsxdXyFlglvkQNQKtmZnscWtR6u9xuptTHj4GQaYxAyokENi3o0ZTs0rNvnuMNSwgvcTM1iL9pCTRTlySTBCIrprq4cXSXOwx-ADaUrgP8jDGYl6mqgmXzvnKYJSqcCWMIcB53wh9MHLJbqYBpaOucCVF0J1meK6yIKL20wIsYlI2YzfS7DfOfCOq/w300-h400/20231020_125803.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Off to surgery at last</td></tr></tbody></table><p>The surgeon was able to remove a couple of sections of my bowel and drain my abscess without the need for a colostomy.

Saracen was bobbing around in March this year but disappeared some time after that. Each year when she disappears (perhaps for a warmer climate) we wonder if she will return. </p><p>On looking out our window this morning my husband spotted Saracen back at her mooring.

As we have a lot of travel coming up in the second semester of 2023 I will find it difficult to maintain my commitment to reading.</p><p>When I peruse the following list I see that I've had a bias towards books featuring female protagonists, I've read many titles loosely related to genealogy and added a good measure of crime/murder/mystery to my reading conquests. Every so often my past interest as a children's and school librarian comes to the fore and I read a children's picture book, I love this genre.</p><a class="yearChallengeBannerLink" href="https://www.goodreads.com/challenges/11633-2023-reading-challenge" style="color: #00635d; text-decoration-line: none;"><div class="readingChallengeBanner" style="height: 128px; margin-bottom: 20px; position: relative; width: 948px;"><div class="bannerYear" style="background-color: #7584e9; color: white; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 48px; font-weight: bold; height: 128px;"><img alt="2023 Reading Challenge" class="bookImg" src="https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/challenges/yearly/img_RCBook-626ef5100b911207af0c4d84f02df03a.svg" style="border: 0px; float: left; padding-left: 12px; padding-top: 32px; width: 200px;" /><div class="year" style="float: left; line-height: 55px; padding-left: 20px; padding-top: 10px; width: 350px;">2023 READING<br />CHALLENGE</div></div><div class="challengeStatsContainer2" style="background-color: white; border-radius: 2px; height: auto; padding: 10px; position: absolute; right: 10px; top: 10px; width: 250px; z-index: 5;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse;"><tbody><tr><td class="challengeStatItem" style="color: #767676; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; height: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px; padding: 2px 10px; text-align: right; text-wrap: nowrap; width: 135px;">Participants</td><td class="statNumber" style="font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; height: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px; text-wrap: nowrap; width: 135px;">6,515,599</td></tr><tr><td class="challengeStatItem" style="color: #767676; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; height: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px; padding: 2px 10px; text-align: right; text-wrap: nowrap; width: 135px;">Books Pledged</td><td class="statNumber" style="font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; height: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px; text-wrap: nowrap; width: 135px;">279,479,117</td></tr><tr><td class="challengeStatItem" style="color: #767676; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; height: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px; padding: 2px 10px; text-align: right; text-wrap: nowrap; width: 135px;">Avg.
