Thank you

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone

A big thank you to everyone who has sent me well wishes for Friday.

It was a big day and I was really dreading it. Don's funeral went

wonderfully I was surprised at how well the family held up. Betty and

all the kids got up and spoke, Betty is such a strong lady I can not

believe how strong she is. They had a lone piper and that was

beautiful. After wards we went to a reception place at the back of the

cemetry for a light luncheon.

Now as for Doug he is still having trouble hearing but it is an ear

infection that he has and we are hoping that it is only the infection

that is causing the loss of hearing. He is on antibiotics until

Wednesday so let's hope that it will clear and he will have his hearing

back.

Friday night I had a great time at the dinner. Actually I never spent a

cent all night. My old team leader who left 2 weeks ago (Wayne) bought

my dinner and 2 of the other guys bought me drinks. The only thing I

paid for was my light rail ticket. Wayne wanted to get in a taxi and

take me to Central and I talked him out of it. Then when the train got

to Hornsby 2 friends of mine got on and they gave me a lift home from

the station.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Today I am off to mum's place

to write out all her Christmas cards and cook marinated chicken wings

for her.

I am off work tomorrow as of this week I work Tuesday to Saturday. I

really can not complain as I am the only one who has never worked

weekends for the 17 months that we have been there.

cheers
