New bathroom and other stuff

The bathroom renovation went well and was completed in record time! Last Saturday (13th Nov) the bathroom was complete except for the shower screen which was installed on Tuesday. I love it. What a pleasure to soak in a brand new bathtub in a brand new bathroom. Malcolm will start the painting soon and that will complete the 'project'! i took some pics of the progress,unfortunately they didn't turn out too well, and I am only hoping that its my photography skills (lack of) and not my camera.
I will need that camera on 8th December when Jill and I set sail from Melbourne on the Dawn Princess bound for New Zealand. Exciting! The last few months have flown by. I have lots to do before walking up the gangplank, all the Christmas gifts and preparations organised before I go. A birthday present organised for my dear Mum who will be 90 the day after I get back from the cruise.
Candice and Koby set off on 29th November on their trip to South Africa. Johannesburg first for a wedding and then onto Capetown. Darrin heads off on 21st December. to join them in Capetown. i may not see Darrin before his holiday as I arrive back on the 21st. I will miss them, but it will be lovely for Candice's family. Koby will meet all the family and no doubt be thoroughly spoilt - easy to do - he is a darling. I look after Koby on a Wednesday and this month on a Thursday too. We have lots of fun together. This Thursday will be our last day together for a few weeks.
On Thursday evening I went to Gimmee that Guitar - a benefit for Harvey James and Peter Mac Cancer Centre What a great night!!!. I learnt a lot about Australian Rock music and the musicians. Harvey James played with Sherbet. The music was great wonderful talent on the stage with some amazing guitar playing from a courageous from Harvey James.

Life presents all sorts of challenges - and to my friends who are not too well at present, or undergoing treatment - lots of love and good wishes. I think of you often.
