What a shame I am heading the other way. Could have dropped in for dinner.

Karen yep we will have to catch up again.

I am hoping we will be a little slower on the trip which we begin at the end of the year. Bit rushed at the moment as we want to be in Townsville before the birth of the baby. R wants our son to help him do some changes to the camper. Oh and go Barra fishing.

> well at least I did not burn myself this time!!!

Lol Purps bet you are waiting to hear all the fisho stories:)

I don't think I will stay retired for too long. I am only 48, so still a few years left in me I hope. At least with our business if I want to go in for a few hours it won't matter, but I will miss the customer interaction.

Hubby and I might go away somewhere after July for a couple of weeks, so that is something to maybe look forward to. I see the Specialist on Tuesday, so hopefully he will give me the go ahead.

I am saving up like mad to go on hols next year...I really want to go over to Alaska,,and see the snow and the wildlife,and then to Arizona to see the Grand Canyon..but then that depends on Naji too he will be 12 nearly 13 by then, gettin old for a cat...

Purps, would of been good there is a HUGE pot of nice hot thick rich creamy potato and leek soup!with hot buttered toast
