Time Flies when you are having fun!

I have been busy since I last signed in. Lots of socialising and of course work! Work is going well - still enjoying the view from the 36th Floor, Today was beautiful, as the sun shone on the cars winding along the roads it looked like snails trails. That lovely silvery track that snails leave behind them. I had my hair cut and tipped this evening, all ready for the party weekend.
Tomorrow evening I am going farewell drinks, an ex colleague Basil, after 20 years at you know where, he has been asked to finish up! it is sad, but he may feel as I do now in a few months time! It will be great to catch up with my ex colleagues and other people I have worked with over the years.

The big news is - Candice and Darrin are expecting a baby in April next year, What wonderful news, I am so excited - another grandchild. I saw them on Sunday and we spent some time at the Mornington Food and Wine Festival. I saw the pictures of Baby Smith! After I left Mornington and I went to see Shelley, Malcolm Zac and Fergus, I do miss seeing Fergus and Zac now that I am working full-time.

Tomorrow evening is the 60th birthday party! I will report back on that next time It's going to be hot on Saturday here in Melbourne and that may mean I have to revise my party frock! What is it with Saturdays? Last Saturday was hot I had a lovely long lunch at the cafe-bar in Mordialloc, I sat outside looking out on the creek with boats going in and out of the bay it was quite delightful.

Haven't been doing much dancing lately I have had a lot. I joined a new group called "the Celestial Teapot" - its a free range brain group on the Peninsula,. Not sure if I will continue with it. I don't think I am skeptical enough!! More about that later..

Work, Work, Work!

Well it's been two full weeks at work, and most importantly one pay day. It's amazing that when you have more money you spend more money?

I am enjoying the work, it's great not having to worry about the library service or any of the other things that I had to deal with before leaving my last job. I was on my own last week on Mon, Tues, & Wed, that was unexpected, but I coped and dealt with 'things' as they came up. I do love working on the 36th Floor I can see all the way to the Dandenongs and it's quite spectacular watching the rain come from the hills over the city. Well thats the good things, the downside is the full time aspect, oh well next job will be part time. I do miss the time at home, I have been quite tired but I guess that's just getting back into the swing of it all.

I saw Zac and Fergus today and will see them next Sunday as I am looking after them while Shelley and Malcolm go out for lunch. It's Shelley's birthday on the 15th October and Mike is taking them out for lunch.

I talked to Darrin this evening, they are getting excited about their holiday to South Africa, they are leaving for Capetown on 20th November

We changed our clocks early this year, I lost an hours sleep but it was lovely to have a longer evening. It was a beautiful day, time to get the bikes out I think! Will I have the time (and energy)?

Went dancing last night - great fun, so good for the soul - Looking forward to a friends 60th birthday on 25th October he is having a great local band called The Substitutes - playing 60's British music.. will be great!
More next time!
