Evening all,

Happy birthday Ms Pink.

Hugs to all in need.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I actually celebrated last night with a meal out with the four of my children who were able to be there, OH, DB and partners etc. We took a taxi which meant that everybody could have a drink. When the meal was over DD3 presented me with a card which contained a whopping travel voucher, so it looks like Oz here we come again sometime in the next six-eight months...the biggest web use will be to find the cheapest flights available...would like to visit Perth and Melbourne this time, to chase up some relatives who seem to have slipped of the connection list. Apart from that there will be essential visits to Victoria to where one of my cousins has relocated from Canberra and Bribie Island (Qld) to where another cousin has moved...he lived in Northern Queensland when we were there 10 years ago, so I guess we won't go there. We will probably base ourselves in Brisbane and take trips from there. I am so excited I wish that I didn't have to make decisions on who to fly with, when to go etc etc.

Feeling a little under the weather to-day, must have had more wine than I thought. Have been putting things through the wm to put out on line before we go to-morrow, I'll peg them very securely and hope that they stay until Friday. Had a phone call from Holland this morning with b'day wishes, DS1 says that the weather is bad there, so I don't think that we will worry about any summery clothes. DD2's flight to Stansted is an hour before ours so we will certainly be in time for ours!

Had three lots of visitors to-day, none of whom knew that I had been out last night, who chatted away as if my head wasn't thumping! All people I like to see, but just not to-day for choice.

Still have to iron for trip, so sweet dreams to all

Marie
