Thursday 16th August 2012












Today was my 69th birthday and I had a nice relaxed day - not doing anything to the extreme.

A bit of grocery shopping and a visit to the chemist to pick up my medications that I need to travel with, a bit of lunch and a nanny nap at home, an hour in the garden weeding and then preparations for having the family for a Mum's Lamb Roast.  Anne made a cupcake birthday cake & Peter did the finishing touches to a baked dinner while I played with Joel and Emily as they helped me to open my birthday presents.  Shane & Sam arrived in time for dinner and we had a nice relaxed family night. Peter gave me a lovely new watch to replace my other favourite watch that I lost last time I was in Sydney.  Joel gave me a drawing and some candles, Rod, Anne & Emily gave me a new pen, some barocca & sun cream for travelling, Shane & Sam gave me a bottle of Glenfiddick Scotch so I did exceptionally well for an unimportant birthday - although I suppose I am getting to the stage where every birthday is important. I could easily drag this birthday out for at least a week.
