Moving closer to the first day of Winter

Pictures of Shelley Fergus & Zac taken earlier this month

Almost two weeks since I last posted a message. Good news is that my Mum is well after her brief stay in hospital

I finish work officially on 30th May. Having drinks after work at the Panama Dining room for friends and colleagues that I have worked with over the years. It will be fun to catch up with everyone. I have been fortunate to work with so many lovely people over the years. I have some wonderful memories. No news on the job front as yet.. but then again I haven't really looked for any work. I did start my job Search program last week and that was a positive experience. I have another appointment tomorrow.

The weekend flew by, we did have some good weather and Brett and I went out for a ride on Sunday afternoon. We rode towards Springvale road past the Mordialloc Wetlands and through the Waterways housing estate... There were a number of birds in the wetlands including a group of Pelicans, quite magnificent birds.

Next Tuesday I am heading up to Brisbane to stay with Sally and Bob for a few days - I am looking forward to the break away from Melbourne. Also the weather will be a little warmer during the day and I can leave the winter woollies behind. Sally and I usually spend time scrapbooking, I am looking forward to that as I have fallen behind with my scrapbooking and the photographs are piling up!

Hopefully will send next post from Brisbane,

I'm Back!

It's been a while but I am back... I am trialling Virgin broadband so expect to see my blog updated on a weekly basis.
I am moving along with my 'new life'. I picked up all my boxes and gear from work on May 2nd - that was an emotional event for me. It was sad to walk out of there after 18.8 years. Brett came with me and we went to the Old Colonial in Brunswick for a celebratory drink and a game of pool. The euphoric feeling didn't last too long however and it was a kind of flat weekend. We did have a lovely lunch out on the Sunday with Brett's family.
I wont go back over all that I have done since my last post. I had a nice Mother's day good to see the family and spend time with Zac and Fergus.
Unfortunately my mum ended up in hospital yesterday and is having some tests done. I will keep you posted.
We have had some grey weather lately and haven't managed to get the bikes out although it hasn't been all that cold. Today is beautiful clear blue sky a glorious autumn day.
I had lunch with two of my ex colleagues last week at Dante's (almost my favourite restaurant) We had a good laugh talking over the 'good old days' at the BSL!! Almost 60 years of service between us. I wondered if anyone's ears were burning.
I start my job search program next week - looking forward to it. I will keep you posted on that too - til next time ....
I will keep you posted... don't forget to comment back to me
