On Perth Time

It's lovely to be in Perth enjoying the warmer weather...I am now staying with my friends after 3 nights with my travelling companions family. I am enjoying catching up on 12 years of news. last time I was in Perth was almost 12 years ago.
Tomorrow we are heading off to Rottnest island. probably Freemantle on Tuesday. Time flies by it's fun doing nothing much, sitting outside sipping on a cold Corona, enjoying Chocolate ice cream in a waffle cone, sipping on a Red wine from Margaret River. What a great weekend!!
Till next time

Holidays !!

Again, so long since I last blogged. Almost the end of the year and looking forward to holidays. The weather seems to be improving, could only improve after last weekend. I looked after Fergus and Zac while Shelley and Malcolm were celebrating Shelley's 40th birthday in Hobart - it was wet and cold. After a small hiccup when the front door key broke in the lock, the weekend went well. Both boys were good and little Zac slept well. I still smile to myself when I recall what was said at different times over the weekend... :)
On Thursday I am heading off to Perth, should be lovely and warm over there, looking forward to spending time Meriel and Mike Stander. We were friends in Zimbabwe and Meriel and I went to school together. It's been a few years since we caught up - so of you feel your ears burning at any time between 28th October and 3rd November.... :) I am flying over with a friend James who is visiting his family in Perth and we can do a couple of tourist things at the same time.
Just had a lovely weekend in Inverloch, very relaxing what I needed after a busy few weeks. Had beautiful dinner on Friday evening
Tomorrow I am looking after Koby, last Monday I went with Darrin for Koby's swimming lesson. It was fun to see him splashing around in the water - Koby didn't think it was much fun when Grandma was changing him!! He wanted his dad!
To my dear friends who are not so well and or recovering from surgery or other treatment, take care, sending you lots of love, think of you often and sending positive thoughts.
Looks like the bathroom renovation will be going ahead around the 8th November if i get all my shopping done before then. I will start on Wednesday shopping for the fittings, then get the tiles when I get back from Perth, if I don't manage to do that before.
I have been dancing a couple of times, catching up with friends, doing a bit of shopping and generally still enjoying retirement. particularly looking forward to the warmer weather
Til next time....
