It has been another hectic time with Diane never off the computer. She really is keeping busy and I’m sure she will suffer withdrawal symptoms when we go on our trip. It was Hubby’s birthday on Friday and I treated him to a meal at Piatto – our favourite place at the moment. We arrived early around six and the place was already nearly full. Hubby had a draught and I had my usual glass of red wine while we studied the menu. My order was a sirloin topped with chicken livers with rice while Hubby went for the rump and chicken combo. Both were delicious. Our evening was going so well we decided to have dessert to prolong it and while I had cheesecake Hubby had malva pudding. Coffee rounded off the perfect meal and we left soon after eight with a vegetable lasagne for Diane. She had just finished on the computer and had settled in front of the TV looking forward to her food.
Saturday we finally got around to sorting out our things for our trip and packed our bags to check we had space for everything. All fitted perfectly and we only need to get a couple of things now. Everything is folded neatly ready to pack on our final day.
Sunday was a lazy day spent chilling over breakfast and relaxing with a book before getting ready to go across for a family get-together at Val. We arrived just before four and had time for a chat and coke before Pauline and Peter arrived with Jed followed by Ali and the boys. We had a great time together catching up with each other’s news while chilling over our drinks. It has been many years since all the brother-in-laws have been together like that. Just a pity Ros was not there too. After a super meal of lasagne followed by dessert we had coffee before heading back home.
We now have two weeks left until departure date. Two weeks today (Wednesday) we will be sitting with Auntie Joan. Can’t wait to see her again.
