Been awhile...

Hi again, been awhile huh. As you read, I had a hectice few weeks, and when the virus entered our house...it entered me. Pretty much out of action for a week. Rick got it for a whole day maybe two to full recovery...he is young!

Went to Anastasia's birthday party at the ice skating rink, and I could have kicked myself for not taking my camera. Seeing Tim on the ice with all the little girls was so cute. Made me proud, really good to see, and seeing my grandson, who adores him, whizzing around in his arms saying "wheeeee" was a heartwarmer also. I hope Sara gets some of them onto her Facebook.

I then went into the city with quite a few of my friends to watch a very funny show called Mum's the Word 2: Teenagers. They really got it right, and it was so good. We all totally enjoyed it. We got the train in and I was abit worried I may be cold, but it was so much warmer in the city, I was surprised...good thing you should see all those young gals strutting their stuff, next to naked in their "click clack" shoes. No brain no pain? I use to do it, go out in winter in next to nothing....got to show your wares, or look cool, or what....we all were well rugged up with our jackets and scarves. Ha! LOL!

I then went to Chris and Charity and had dinner with Marie, from Sri Lanka, it must be well over 22 years since I have seen her. We lived with her and her family in Sri Lanka. We had a wonderful night catching up.

I also have been driving with Peter, who is learning, as he has to do 120 hours lessons. He has been my chauffer. He is doing well, but I do prefer my car, as we drive in a little manual Nissan Pulsar, which is a little rough. Ha!

I added wrong photo, Clare took Rick and Holly over to visit John and Rejoice, and I added the wrong photo, so here it is...and you will get 2 of them...ha

the weeks roll on....

Firstly, Happy BIrthday to some of my favourite people, Tim, my son, Michelle, a sort of relative, now, I guess, and Matty Q, and today, Christie Q.

It has been quite hectic of late, and now I can stop a minute to catch up, only because I have caught the virus going around and slowed somewhat because of it. I can't talk, my throat is a mess. (Everyone, dont laugh together) Anyway, thank God for good health.

so, what have I been up to? Mmmm...Clare and Holly came from Adelaide and stayed 5 days, which was great...lots of laughs, and activity, and Faith stayed also, and they both left on Tuesday. On Friday, we had lunch with ALL my girls, one of God's set ups, it was great to be together. Saturday evening, we had a "pot luck" dinner (everyone brings a plate of food, turns out to be a buffet, though we tried to co-ordinate the menu and what ppl brang, so as not to just have plates of dessert). It was a great evening actually. There was about 40 of us. Sunday I rested somewhat, it was cold and rainy a good day to remain in bed actually, and on Monday I did some business with Faith. She went to visit a friend from the markets, who helps the work with veges, as he wanted to see her before she left, I have known this man for many a year. He is very kind and sincere. Anyway, during the conversation, we establish the fact that he knows...Nadia, MY Nadia, and that he had wanted to marry her, but was too slow to ask and instead Peter beat him too it....talk about a small world!!!

Besides all of the excitement, I have been teaching Peter to drive or rather driving with him, as learners have to have 120 documented hours of lessons. He is not bad actually. Getting car stuff done, for Adam, lots of paperwork. Cooking numerous meals, cleaning 4 toilets, washing and washing I said, and ironing etc etc...dropping off and picking up....MUM stuff. So , it has been busy but lots of fun.

Ha...do you like the photo that I have of Gabe, Honey, Ez Desi and her man...put the wrong one in,,,,but its a guest appearance.

Anyway, we had a great day yesterday. It was a public holiday for the Queen's birthday, so all 10 kids and respective partners, and children came for lunch. It was a group effort, as everyone added their "dish", so the food was great. The company was great, many laughs had by all. We had music, and a arm wrestling competition and....Tim remains unconquered...TIM IS THE STRONGEST!!!

for you today...

The Lord is in the business of improving things. He wants to give the best to you and He really has your best interests at heart.





DON'T YOU FORGET IT!!!

Happy Birthday Sara

Happy Birthday Sara

We went to this great Lebanese restaurant last night, called....Sahra's, for Sara's birthday party. We ended up with a group of 12, though Tim Miller just briefly dropped in. It was great. Shanti, Prem, Phil, Claire, Kaz, Vico, Ad, Renee, Sara, Tim, Tim Miller for a moment and myself. The food was great, atmosphere was great, and it had a belly dancer, which draggged Claire, Renee, and Vico up for a dance. I must admit I really enjoyed watching them dance with her, many laughs were had. Really good evening.
