More from Trish







When I last wrote I was just about to head off to Apollo bay for the long weekend. It was a lovely restful weekend - lots of good food and red wine, the only complaint was the weather!! It was cold... although it did warm up on the Monday when driving home. The drive along the great Ocean road was spectacular.
Work is fairly busy, but now counting down the days.
Last weekend was the Mordialloc food , wine(d) and music festival - it was the 13th year of the festival and perhaps that was an omen. It was rained out, I think Mordialloc was hit by a a mini tornado! We had given the festival the miss just as well as a huge squall came through on Saturday evening, tents were blown down, the music stopped and everyone sent home as it became dangerous with everything flying around! Sunday was almost as windy but NOT raining, so we headed off about 11am with Fergus Zac & Shelley. The boys enjoyed themselves, with both of them enjoying the carnival rides. Fergus loved the trampoline jumping and I was only sorry that I hadn't taken my camera.
Unfortunately the weather didn't improve and Sunday afternoon saw us indoors at the Mentone hotel listening to Blues music. In no time at all it was Monday and back to work!!
There was an other tremor today. I didn't feel it this time as I was over the other side of the city. Til Next Time...

Long Weekend.





It's the Birthday boy


Zac was 2 on 23rd February. I think he enjoyed his birthday cake and blowing out of the candles! He loved opening the presents once he got the hang of it. He also liked getting his photograph taken.. it doesn't feel like two years have gone by since he was born. Now we are preparing for Darrin and Candice's baby. It is due on the 20th April. Having the baby shower on 5th April. Keep checking here for more news.

I will be finished work by 20th April - I am still working at Moonee Ponds one day a week. I am enjoying the work, but not the traveling, I am sure all my friends are sick of hearing me say that.

Guess what I just felt the earth move!! yes we had an earth tremor. I got such a fright I thought my unit was falling inwards...The tremor was in the North eastern suburbs and yet we felt it here in the South east.

I am going away this weekend - I know we need rain and cooler weather but does it have to be this weekend? I intend going in the water on my boogie board with my wetsuit on. I haven't been to Apollo Bay so it should be fun!

Trying to find the time to get my holiday organised - I will get on to that next week

Til next time...
