Koby and Candice - ready to head off to the airport
Candice & Koby left Melbourne this afternoon for their much awaited holiday in South Africa with Candice's family. It's a long flight but I am sure Koby will travel well. I took him out for a walk this morning while Candice did last minute things and Darrin slept for a couple of hours after his night shift. I will miss them - I have been looking after Koby two days a week during November. Always so good unless he wakes up grumpy - who does that remind me of!!! Darrin follows in December when he starts his leave.
I am enjoying the bathroom, finally made up my mind about wall colour - Malcolm will probably paint it over the next week or so, when he has some time. It's a busy time of year and especially with small children. I have a gift voucher to spend on accessories for the bathroom - thank you Candice, Darrin and Koby - looking forward to using it very soon.
Not much else happened last week I did go out for dinner which was lovely - I didn't see Fergus and Zac. The weekend was busy. Was great catching up with the 'gang' for our Kris Kringle and Rose's Birthday on Friday night. We met at Beaches in Mornington had a lovely dinner a few drinks and some 'dancing'. I didn't have to drive as I stayed the night at Rose's house. Saturday night was Gail's friend Ian's 60th birthday - Sunday I spent most of the day doing chores, I cancelled my Young and Jackson date - was looking forward to seeing Jimi and the band but I had to get some things done around the house before my holiday.
The Christmas shopping is almost done - I may not get around to Christmas cards this year - so once the gifts are bought and wrapped this week then I can concentrate on my wardrobe for the cruise!! I love getting dressed up every evening - with two formal events and 11 smart casual nights that's a lot of mixing and matching!! Then there's the shoes, bags and jewellery - LOL lots of fun for Jill and I. i hope I can update my blog while I am away, I think my camera is ok...i spent a lot of time on Saturday afternoon reading the manual and also restored all the settings to the default setting, recharge the battery and it seems to be once again taking reasonable photographs
I have a busy week this week with shopping, catching up with Gail for dinner, also Shelley and Darrin on Wednesday evening. out with friends on Friday evening, babysitting on Sat night then concentrate on clothes on Sunday I have a hair appointment on Friday morning can't forget that.
Jill and I have booked our tours for each port in New Zealand - one of the highlights being a trip to Rotorua and a spa experience. We are going to Te Puia in the Whakawerawera Valley, a natural wonder and considered to be a sacred place by the Maori people. Then on to Polynesian Lake Spa retreat. Sounds wonderful!!
Sending lots of love to my dear friends who aren't feeling that great at the moment - think of you often x
That's about it for now - till next time
