# STOP IT

We are coming to the end of our holiday in Adelaide, South Australia. It's been a great week

navigating around the beautiful city and countryside, drinking a bit of local wine and eating a variety of different cuisines. In my case of course with my new stomach, it's been sips and tastes and lots of rest in between, to help me recover and bounce back. I'm doing just fine.

In one of the cafes we went to, we met a young waitress wearing a tshirt with the logo #STOP IT. Of course we wanted to know the story behind the shirt. She said that an old friend of hers had a habit of saying STOP IT after everything, and when he left town all his friends had shirts made with # STOP IT printed on them. The group of friends has spread to all corners of the world, but every so often somebody uploads a photo wearing the tshirt and in this way, despite the distance they keep in touch. I thought it was a really cute story!

I want a # STOP IT T-shirt! But I want one with magical powers that would immediately stop whatever I wanted it to stop. Eg I would ask it to stop my worrying and anxiety and stop my crappy body playing up and making me sick. Wouldn't that be great!

Tomorrow we head back to Western Australia to see the girls and the rest of the family for a couple of days. Then it's homeward bound and time to deal with unsolved issues, like the fact we still have a house that needs repairs done. After sleeping in a beautiful king size bed all week in Adelaide, we will be back to sleeping in our lounge room in hot, stuffy conditions, because the tradesmen haven't started work yet. Grin and bear it. This too shall pass or off with their heads.

It's been good spending so much time with the husband. This man is my rock and my best friend. He drives me mad sometimes but I often think how blessed I am regardless. I'm sure that some men would have done a runner if faced with what he has had to put up with in the last ten years. He told me today that he has to remind himself that I'm ok and not sick. I've really stressed him out poor man.

Anyway, back to # STOP IT.

If you had a magical # STOP IT shirt, what would you get it to stop? Can't wait to read your answers.

Short post this week.
