semi-final

The sound of mowers and whipper snippers echoed around the neighbourhood this morning and John joined in. It was the second warm day in a row and I spent it in the garden. Had to cover the strawberries otherwise the birds would be having a feast soon. John wore his Hawthorn t-shirt to visit Rodney this afternoon. It was a very good score last night and now its the wait to see if he can get a ticket to go to the final next week.

Afternoon Tea

We got together for afternoon tea as Louise had a surprise - she is getting engaged and will marry in a couple of years. All the ladies were surprised but had suspected something like that. Everyone is well and a couple of the ladies are travelling in the next week, Joan to west coast of USA with all her family, and Margaret and Bill are off to Melbourne for a few days. Its work

for the rest of us. During the week I had a rostered day off and spent it at the Dendy in Newtown with Margaret. We saw - In Bruge, The Visitors and The Savages. All good movies and was able to fit in lunch between the first two.

Father's Day 08

Yesterday it rained all day so it was a pleasure to have a fine beautiful day. John had a good day with two phone calls from his lovely daughters and a chat with Lucy. Hawthorn won, John went over to the wine shop and he opened a nice bootle of wine. What more could a man want.
