It Is Monday

We are hoping to arrive back in Canberra today soon after lunchtime. How lucky we have been to have good friends in Newcastle who have put up with us for the last 5 nights. Mick and Janet's hospitality has been great. I now have Mick set up with 300 movies, a WD TV HD Media Player and another way in place to use his TV and Stereo Receiver. Mick seems to love it too.

Tomorrow Tuesday we will spend some of the day in funeral preparation. I have prepared a piece to say at the funeral and will run its contents passed the Lola and the celebrant during a meeting that afternoon. My sister and sister in law arrive in Canberra tomorrow too and we are all staying together at the same motel.

Whenever possible I hope to catch a look at the cricket Test Match going on this week on TV.

When we arrive in Canberra early afternoon today (guided by my new Garmin SatNav unit) we will catch up with Lola. The destinations are already keyed in to the Garmin!

The funeral is due for Wednesday 11:30 am and we will depart for home on Thursday morning via an inland route. We may stay overnight Thursday in Moree (about 800 k's away from Canberra) and therefore should be home about early afternoon Friday.

Tony, this will save me an email to you mate, I will try and call during our 'free' hours. It seems we have had some rain at home, at least a couple of inches so hopefully my lawn has recovered a bit.

I may noy have email contact from our motel room in Canberra but there is a wireless hotspot available in the motel lounge.

No worries mate, we have had plenty of rain and all the lawns are starting to come back. All is fine at home and we are all looking forward to seeing you and Trish home. Your not missing much with the cricket.

See ya

Tony and Ang.
