Cafe Creme

This is the café opposite Cliff's but that is not the
name on the receipt.

It was the first lunch I had with Meg after she came
back from her honeymoon and went back to work.

I surprised her by parking the car outside Cliff's
shop and walking over to the café.

She has been having a go at me for parking the car
outside the café and then after lunch turning it
around and driving it up to the shop and parking it
but as it is only 2 hour parking in the street and
we are at lunch for about an hour and a half, then
at the shop for two hours I have to move the car at
least once during the day anyway!

Lunch With Meg

Went to the doctor's Friday morning 19th April and
she used dry ice to burn off the mark on my left
hand. It turned into a huge blister and burst on
Sunday morning it wept for a further two days and
then started to heal but it hurts and looks to be
infected!!

Meg was back from her honeymoon so I went and had
lunch with her at her house.

She and Mick were telling me about the honeymoon.

Seems as she has to show the marriage certificate
to change her passport and as they did not get that
till they returned she was travelling under her
maiden name and on the way back to Brisbane they
were not seated together! Mick had ben given the
window seat and Meg was in the aisle seat. They
spoke to the hostess but she was not helpful, the
host however explained their situation to the man
sitting between them and he gladly moved. When
they got back to Brisbane they found that on the
flight back to Melbourne they were sitting across
the aisle from each other, so as they had to wait
two hours there they managed to change the sitting
there also. Other than that they had a great time.
The weather was lovely and Meg said she spent every
day in the pool!

Welcome Chloe

Chloe was born to Sarah ( my step grand daughter) and her
partner Paul (Kevin's son...Kevin is with Sharon and Sharon's
daughter is Charmaine, Kirsten's 'bestest friend at school
and Kirsten is my granddaughter.)

However Angela who was Sarah's birthing coach wasn't there
and neither were Sarah's mother or grandmother though that
was the main reason they came down from Queensland was to
see Sarah's baby. Instead they used their return ticket to
go to Sydney and then a train to Gosford, to go to Darren's
funeral which was held on the 10th of April.

Angela drove up and why Kim and Pam did not go up with her
and come back with her to see the baby is beyond me. But
after the funeral Pam and Kim flew from Sydney back home to
Queensland.

Fifth Anniversary of Don Snr's Death

In the early hours of this morning we heard that Darren
White lost his battle with cancer.

It was only three weeks ago that he was given 2 to 3
months to live as the brain tumors were growing faster
than they could be removed.

So now that is two family members that have died on this
date, just 5 years apart.

Found out that Darren was born on the 12th March, the
date of my friend Anne's birthday!!

April Fools Day

Well this year it was a VERY quiet day.

Don't know if this because it was part of the Easter
holiday weekend, or because of the prank the Aussie
paper played in order to gain information on the
royal pregnancy.

For whatever reason no radio nor newspaper played
any prank this year!

Cliff and I spent most of the day in bed and no-one
played any pranks on us.

Easter Sunday

Meg decided to have Easter at her house. But Cliff
and I told her that we just wanted to have a quiet
day at his place.

We already had given out eggs to everyone including
the children.

So was a little disappointed that only Meg gave me a
Red Tulip white chocolate, but nothing for Cliff,
however this was much better than Don and Kath who
didn't us anything! I had even told Donald the name
of the book that I wanted but never got that either!

Perhaps I need to start saying which books I want
for Mother's day to make sure I get them.

The Big Day - Meg and Mick's Wedding.
