Dear Friends, in total contrast to last
week, this has been a very quiet week. I have been fighting off the dreaded
cold, and CFS has reared its ugly head and rendered me depleted of energy and
get-up-and-go…..such a pain. However, Wes has been very understanding and prepared
some lovely meals and coped with my shortened days.
The biggest disappointment was missing out
on the Crime Fiction Class, which was
held on Thursday afternoon. I had read books by all thirteen authors, printed
out biographical notes on them all, and was looking forward to participating in
a robust discussion with a few friends. Jan Bragg very kindly emailed me to
tell me how it went and that I was missed.
Beautiful photo of Robert & Marilyn
Preston with Charlotte at her christening last weekend.
Another
lovely photo – this time it is Danny Millman easily persuading Penny to fall
asleep on his shoulder.
Photos from Noosa – Deane Wells & his son, Danny
Wells & Wes, who has declared 2013 a Blue Year!
Apart from clearing PO Boxes, bringing in
bins and picking tomatoes, I’ve done very little else this week. I did have
enough tomatoes & cucumbers, courtesy of Judi & Michael’s abundant
veggie patch to make a batch of Tomato
& Cucumber Relish, which Wes has declared my best ever, and is demolishing at every opportunity!
We’ve just returned from breakfast where
Wes was the only male present, so sat at the head of the table. Judi told us
about a wonderful Melbourne Walk that she & Michael did, which explained the
aboriginal history, and John Fawkner’s part in the establishment of Melbourne;
Gail had stories to relate from their recent trip to the Blue Mountains to see
their family; Jan & John had been sick, while their dog, Gypsy, is much
better; Barbara had been finding old school-friends on a NZ website, and Gillie
was excited to be heading off to Mildura, Canberra & Euroa tomorrow.
My
phone needed replacing, so I picked up a new one this week at our local Telstra
shop, where I had the combined brainpower of all three experts – John, Tim
& Keith, as we sorted out how to move all my Contacts onto the new SIM card
& then change the password, how to avoid paying a fee for cancelling a
24-month contract with two weeks left on it, etc etc. I am thrilled to bits
with the new phone, it is a Motorola RAZR HD, and the first thing I did on it
was watch ABC News 24 as Julia outwitted the Rudd faction and remained Prime
Minister this week. Then I took a photo of the boys, who happily climbed onto
their bed at my request.
Yesterday we drove to Melbourne where we
had a most enjoyable long visit with Viva. Wes got her reminiscing about her
young days & gathered lots of great information that he will add to the
Family Tree data he has already compiled.
