News from the capital

OK Kate, you have guilted me into writing something. Just returned from the Blues Festival in N Narooma. After 3 years of being away, the organiser realised he had made a big mistake and brought it back. Beautiful weather and some great music. Clare came with me, and we also had Michael and Tina, Kate, Lisa, Terry and their 14 month old, Bridget as well as  two of their friends. Clare had a great time, I think we have converted her to a blues fan. It was tough without Steve there as he always enjoyed it so much and he was really looking foward to going back to Narooma this year. As Kate said, Lucy's 21st was great, though it was another tough time for us. Thanks to Michael who helped get the yard ready, came around on the day and got things organised and cooked for me. Don't know what I would do without  Michael and Tina. Nice to see the Isaksens represented as well. Looking forward to a visit from Mum and Dad tomorrow, and Claire as well in the next few weeks. Will have to stock up on champagne!!  Nothing much else is happening, downhill run from here till the end of the year.
