Big News this week!!







Grandma & Zac Fergus & Zac Fergus


Back again, not so long between blogs this time. Time is flying by. Big news this week. I have booked my holiday for next year - I leave Melbourne on 20th June flying into London. I managed to get on the same flight as my friend Rose, which is good, as it's 27 years since I flew into London and it may be a bit strange. Rose was there just 3 years ago. I am really excited - I will be away for 2 months, haven't got plans yet for the trip apart from the first 4 days which will be in London. I will then be staying with friends and moving around. I will be going to Scotland to visit my Aunt, Uncles and cousins. Perhaps a trip to Spain with my cousin. it will be fun to explore - all on a budget of course as the dollar has dropped.
The other news is that I have had my contract renewed and after a month off in January will finish on 17th April.. I am enjoying the work and really pleased that it is being extended. I will then be waiting for the new baby to arrive. Candice's Mum, Dad and Grandmother will travel over after the birth. it will be lovely to see them again a wonderful time for us all.
I am having a quiet week this week, last weekend was busy and this one will be busy too as Rose has her party on sat evening.
We had a lovely warm day today - a great change after the winter weather last weekend - the heating was back on
I suppose I should think about writing Christmas cards and doing some shopping as it will soon be here, Fergus is counting down!

Til next time...

More news from Trish

Can you believe I only have one month of my contract left! The time has just flown by. I have been busy as usual. The 60th Birthday Party was great fun, I didn't take my camera with me so no photographs.
Next week on the 29th November I have another friend turning 60 and her party is right here in Mordialloc. I am looking forward to celebrating her birthday with her next week. There will be lots of friends there.
I am still enjoying the work on the 36th floor!! but as I said only one more month. I am looking forward to the break I can spend some more time with Fergus and Zac.
Darrin and Candice are heading off to South Africa on Wednesday. Candice went for her 18 week scan today.
I have joined a group on facebook called "I am a Newell" - will be fun to see how many Newells join the group.
Well Christmas is getting close and soon I will be celebrating one year of blog writing! I will be spending this Christmas eve with Fergus and Zac and waking up early on Christmas morning will be fun? Fergus has been at school almost a year and Zac will be turning 2 in February.
I managed to get to a scrapping session last Thursday evening, but only got one page done.
That's about it for now looking forward to the weekend as usual :) Catching up with friends - perhaps see Jimi Hocking http://www.jimihocking.com/ and celebrate another birthday on Sunday evening.
