Two Down, Two To Go!

We are having a brief interlude (to catch our breath) having just returned from a couple of night's stop over with friends at Drouin before heading off for two nights with Eddie and Patsy Riordan.

The last couple of days have been pretty hectic with too much to eat and drink. We first caught up with Barry and Rainy on Sunday afternoon. As expected it was great fun. Unfortunately they had a funeral to get to on Monday so we were left to our own devices for much of the day. This photo of Barry shows him in his usual winter garb. I wasn't permitted to take a photo of him dressed in long trousers and coat for the funeral.

Later on Monday we travelled a short distance and caught up with Russell and Irene. Russ has just purchased a media player so I handed over a heap of movies for him. Barry and Rainy joined us for dinner. Irene had made a tasty curry which everyone enjoyed. There was plenty to drink and again it was well after midnight when we headed for bed.

Much of early Tuesday was again spent chatting and catching up. Russ and Irene live in large house on a couple of acres. Their son Jamie was extending the patio area and paving it. He is a professional landscaper so the job will look great when finished.

We are now catching our breath before heading over for a couple of nights with Patsy and Eddie. We are beginning to look forward to an early night when we return to Kate's on Thursday. When we arrived at Kate's we noted the heating wasn't working. Melbourne isn't a good place to be without any heating at this time of year!
