GETTING READY FOR THE LAST HOORAY

Mum & Dad arrived last Wednesday, ready for our trip north, but as "Murphy's Law" would have it, bad weather is on it's way down the coast. Actually, it's more than just bad weather, it's a category 5 cyclone! Cyclone Hamish has missed the Whitsundays, Mackay & Gladstone but it's now heading toward Bundaberg & the Frazer Coast so everyone's holding their breath.



Meanwhile, family & friends have been arriving to say farewell & bon -voyage. My sister, Kay, & her family visited us in Tingalpa Creek over the week-end where plans were made for them to join us somewhere in Indonesia over the next 12 months. Then we had a family dinner at my daughter's where we half heartedly celebrated our imminent departure. I say half heartedly because both Kristy & I know that we'll be very sad & will have plenty of tears when we do eventually say good-bye.



Our plans at this stage are to return to Australia toward the end of the year where we'll escape the heat of the monsoon season in Indonesia, but who knows what might happen. Time will tell, I guess.
