Saturday 27th December was a quiet day in the garden removing yet more rubbish from the front gardens. Peter was at golf so I spent a reflective day feeling a little low as it was Mum's birthday and she would have been 95 years old. This was our first Christmas without her and now this was the first birthday anniversary.
Sunday 28th was a very hot day with temperatures reaching 35 degrees. I felt every bit of it out on the golf course playing my first 18 holes in over a month. The golf was terrible but the company was good. Our playing partners were Norma & Ray Presdee and I had a good day in spite of having to buy the keno ticket. The object of the exercise was to get back out there & the highlight of my day was that I finished. I did score one three pointer hole if I have to scramble for golf highlights. We stayed for dinner at the club with Ray & Norma. We sat out on the balcony with some other golf friends and had dinner and watched the social golfers come in until about 8 o'clock. It is beautiful at that time of day and definately the best time to have a round of social golf.
Today, Monday 29th I travelled to Sydney airport with my friend Heather to see her off to visit family in Melbourne. We had a good trip on the train & no problem getting Heather on the plane in spite of the fact that she had left her E-Ticket at home. We were there in plenty of time to have a coffee before I waved her off on her journey. I had intended to join the F-Troopers when I got home about 1.30pm but a rain storm had hit during my journey home so it was too wet to work.
The F-Troopers in my absence had done some good work on the course clearing drains, rubbish removal and tree stumps before the storm stuck - so not all was lost.
