Monday Morning and Still Cold, Wet and Windy!

The heater here at Kate's has been getting quite a work out the last few days while at home it has been sunny and high 20's. However rain is expected up there today.

Thursday night saw Trish and Kate along with Charlie and me get along to our favorite Malaysian Restaurant. The food was great. Those who say the food os dropping off there obviously do not live in Queensland. It was sensational.

Friday saw us do a little shopping and sorting out a few things. Tomorrow (Tuesday) I plan to reformat the kids' computer for them so some time was spent checking out we had the disks and exactly what they wanted to do. I tried some cleanup tricks to get it to work but everything I tried was unsuccessful. Vietnamese for tea with Kim was wonderful.

Saturday was still wet, windy and cold so I decided to attend Emily (grand daughter's) 5th birthday party. She enjoyed herself. We left later that afternoon and drove almost 150k's to Drouin for another good mate's 60th birthday. This was the major reason for travelling to Melbourne this trip. We spent the night with Barry and Rainy and also caught up with Wayne and Launa who had visited us on the Sunshine Coast the previous weekend. The night out was great. It was good to catch up with Russell (the birthday boy) and all the family. Russ' wife Irene was caught up with party hosting duties but we managed a quick catch up on family gossip.

We eventually arrived back at Kate's after lunch on Sunday. I quiet day followed and a good night's sleep was had by all.

Today we are setting off to catch up with my brother. The weather is still wet, cold and windy!
