Margaret's 70th

Saturday afternoon we celebrated Margaret's birthday with her family and friends. This is the post office crowd and partners.

Culburra Weekend

After shopping and a hair cut in Nowra, we hit Culburra about lunchtime. Ron, the landscaper came over to see what we thought of the garden. Its lovely now but will grow into a great Australiana garden. We relaxed and read the papers, then went to the bowling club for dinner. Later played the 1c poker machine and reached $32.50. Today we did the odd jobs and off home stopping at Kiama Surf Beach.

Christmas in July

On Saturday 14th Louise invited Joan, Shirley Margaret and Bill, Norma and Phil, Helen and Geoff and ourselves to a Christmas in July lunch, plus to celebrate the return of Norma and Phil from an overseas trip AND wishing bon voyage to Margaret and Bill on their P&O sailing trip. Shirley also has just returned from a trip to New Zealand and New Guinea. From noon till almost 5 we talked, ate and drank and everyone caught up on whats happening. We are all meeting again in two weeks for Margaret's 70th birthday party.

Greenacre ladies

Lunch on Saturday at Twin Willows, Bankstown way with the Greenacre ladies was fun and lots of food.
Sunday was not a day for the beach, it'll have to be another Sunday.

Clean up lst July

Saturday I used the last June ticket for Greater Union and saw Oceans 13. Sunday a.m. saw us gathering stuff for the 6 monthly council clean up. Then we caught the Australian movie Clubland out at Fox Studios. The markets were on but didnt buy anything. Katrina, your room is messier than ever. Yesterday I had the day off and organized the books in a better order and they will slowly go for sale on ebay. The rest of the day I spent at home and enjoyed every moment.

Wet weekend

John and Rodney went to the Food and Wine show at Darling Harbour on Saturday and tasted quite a few nice drops. I think a few orders went in too and will be able to sample them myself. I spent the time doing odds and ends about the house, as again, the rain didnt let up for long.
This picture was taken late Sunday afternoon and shows Andrew's tree with new little shoots. Only two others survived and will picture them another time.

Queens Birthday long weekend

The weekend was not clement for visiting the beaches so on Saturday Rodney came over and they both watched Hawthorn and Sydney Swans play. Unfortunately the best team lost. Sunday we went to the movies at Bondi Junction and saw Driving Lessons with Julie Walters. Thursday John had a little mishap and it hurt terribly. The African violet was given to me many years ago for mothers day. Each year it flowers about the same time. Monday was a r & r day to prepare for the busy week ahead.
