What a week!
The back laundry/bathroom/toilet retiling and renewing is well underweigh. Back to living in a building site and accumulating a stack of washing while the washing machine is out of use.
Had the thrill of attending Grandson Tom's graduation. Tom was the tallest of the group, gave the Dean the finest salute, got the greatest applause, in a word, "stole the show"; (to my eyes anyway); all this as my eyes filled and throat became choked. This has happened on five previous occasions and will again I'm sure. Congratulations Tom. You'll see from the accompanying photo That I was not the only one "beaming". Jack and Fran strode back from the Great Hall as if they'd won a lottery.
I was hardly finished telling Grandma about the day when the phone rang and Annie relayed the news of Clare's results of first semester. One HD -Chemistry; 2 Distinctions -Biology, and Anatomy and Physiology; Credit - Forensics. These results achieved in exams the week after Steve's death.
To cap off - Marty rang and tipped a racehorse in Darwin which duly won at the unexpectedly high dividend of $4.40. (The owner expected evens).
I didn't take any pictures of the renovations in progress but I'll take some of the completed job. The painter is due on the 25th June but we'll have the washing machine back in use before then.
Enjoy the long weekend.
Love to all
Dad/Tjilpi/Old Man/Kev.
