Trish Home From Melbourne

The day after Trish arrived back on the Sunshine Coast (with a heavy cold I may add - infected from too many kisses from the grandchildren!) she has booked to fly down to Melbourne again. There are very good specials at the moment being $89 one way with Jetstar and $95 with Virgin. She flies down again on Monday June 18th arriving mid afternoon. Kate is due to give birth about a week later.

Trish arrived home yesterday afternoon feeling rushed off her feet. The week just wasn't quite long enough for her. She was very busy catching if with too many people in too short a time. Needless to say she loved it.

Quite a few of you have visited us here on the Sunshine Coast and you have also enjoyed the Caloundra RSL Club and its great entertainment and poker machines. They also have a "Chocolate Machine" in which you guide a claw into a pile of chocolates, grab a chocolate and add it to the tray. As you stack the tray, the chocolates are pushed into a bin where you can collect them. "Addicted" is possibly a little too strong a term to describe Trish's love of this machine (but it is fairly close!).

Our daughter Kim saw 'toy' this in a shop and thought it a great present for her Mum! The 'money' is in the plastic bag on top of the machine and you use the levers to guide the claw to collect your chockies.
