Time flies when you are almost retired!

Another week has gone by since I last posted... Easter was great with chocolate in bed, lazy days, grandchildren and bike rides. Since last posting to my blog a few things have happened with my job. I am still on stress leave, but it looks pretty certain that I will be offered a redundancy. It's great in one respect but I would have preferred to leave on a more positive note.
That aside we did have a good weekend, even though I did feel a little sad at times. The weather was good and we got the bikes out on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday we rode through part of the wetlands near Mordialloc and Sunday we rode with friends to Patterson Lakes. We had lunch at the pub and rode home. Saturday evening we saw the film Juno - it was ok, a bit quirky and not as funny as expected. On Monday we did an Easter egg run delivering Easter eggs to the family.
Candice left for Capetown on Tuesday 25th March to be with her family for a few family celebrations. Unfortunately she got mugged her first day back and had her bag stolen - plus money credit cards etc. Thank goodness that no-one was hurt - it was good to get an e-mail from her today.
It's school holidays and Fergus and I spent sometime together yesterday. We went to see Horton Hears a Who. What a great film - quite delightful. We then went out for dinner (pizza by request!) Next week we are going to have another outing, which I have yet to plan.
Dance competitions are getting closer - I have my achievement day on 5th April and will be doing my New Vogue Bronze medallion. Will need a trophy cupboard soon!!

On a sad note, a family friend Irene Frost died this week in England. Irene and Jock have been friends for 30+ years, their children, Debbie and Stuart and Shelley and Darrin were great friends at school. We have many happy memories of times spent together. Vale Irene. I am hoping this blog will enable me to keep in touch with my many dear friends where ever you are located.
It's Friday and the weekend is ahead!!! Enjoy
