Week ending 12th Aug 07

It was my rostered day off on Tuesday so went up to Westfields and caught two really scary movies - Fracture with Anthony Hopkins and the other, Mr Brooks with Kevin Costner. I had a nice lunch with Diane on Thursday and while John went to watch Hawthorn play football on Saturday (Rodney has Foxtel), Michael, Belinda and Caitlin called in. Cannot believe Caitlin is 11 months old already and Belinda will soon go back to work job sharing. Pat came over Sunday and we had a glass of white as we caught up with the weeks news.

weekend at home - 4/5 August 07

Sunday was a day to work in the garden and John is fixing up the new hose to water the garden. The last hose would shoot off the tap and waste alot of water. Saturday was clean-up and then sewing the bibs with other odds and end. The wrapped bibs are shown and Evan's has been delivered. Hawthorn won by 65 today and if its on tv this evening, a copy of the game will be sent to the supporter who lives in the states.

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.
