Relaxing

This past week has seen me at the movies - Sherlock Holmes and The Lovely Bones, I enjoyed the book better than the movie. Have spent a few hours a day in the garden as it has been too hot to spend any longer. I spent a little time over at Pats as Liz come over with Evan and Emily and was able to hold her. A visit to a financial adviser has me still unsure of what I should do and when I went to my doctor today, he gave me a very poor opinion of advisers and now I'm more confused. I am filling in the forms for the age pension and one question was when did we come to Australia and what ship and which port. After asking family, searched the ship's name thru Google which put me into archives of refugees and found the details. Very interesting. Last Friday night it was organised to have a retirement dinner at Bayblu, near Tom Uglys bridge. It was pleasant to see all my friends celebrate with me the passing of an era and the beginning of a new one. A short time after eating the entree and main meal, I didnt feel well and consequently lost most of it in the ladies. Even on the drive home John had to stop. I did feel OK the next day but I've put it down to having the rich sauce on the veal. I usually watch everything I eat but this time I thought I would celebrate, never again. I didnt take any photos but Norma did so I hope to get some from her
