A Monday Update

It has been a 'family' weekend. Saturday night saw us head in to Melbourne to an Italian Restaurant to celebrate Chris' 40th birthday. All the families were there, kids and all. This meant an early start to the evening and a not too late finish.

Trish and I left 'home' mid afternoon and called in to see my brother. We had a great couple of hours catching up.

The restaurant wasn't too far from my brother's place so we were there, parked and seated in the Universal Restaurant well before 7 pm. We enjoyed a few drinks and had heaps of fun together as a family. Italian isn't my favorite but Chris sure enjoys it. I ordered a Pizza. I would show you a photo but it is too big to fit on the blog! Trish enjoyed a Pasta dish. The photo shows Chris and our youngest daughter Kim 'posing' for a photo.

The photo below is of Chris' wife Wendy and two of our grand children, Andrew and Emily.


We arrived back home well after 10:30 pm after we had found ourselves caught in some heavy traffic. We were up early the next morning and back over to the other side of the city again, this time to watch Andrew play in the Under 10 Footy Grand Final. Unfortunately his team were defeated by one point. The actual score was 1 goal 1 point to 1 goal 2 points! It was a brisk chilly morning with a stiff breeze blowing. He enjoyed having us there to watch him play. Here he is in his no. 26 jumper!

Springvale and our favorite Vietnamese Restaurant beckoned on our way home. We feasted on chilli chicken as well as beef with crispy noodle. It was pretty good!

Needless to say we both slept well overnight. This morning was welcomed when 3 y.o. James joined us in bed at 6 am!

The weather continues quite cool with that persistent blustery wind. Today it got to 15 but much of the day was much cooler than that!
