The news in brief

The past few months have been busy. We spent several weeks sorting all Mum’s stuff & preparing the house to be put on the market. Everything looks clean and tidy.

No buyers yet, but there’s no hurry. We held a few garage sales, and will probably have one or two more when the house is sold. You meet some interesting people and hear some funny stories at a garage sale, like the woman who said she has a neighbour who dances naked in front of the open window & another one told us her aunt used to have stuffed animals & dolls all over her spare bed, & when her pet pekinese dogs died she had them stuffed & put on the bed……

Our World Vision Club held a couple of street stalls. (In addition to our regular jumble sales.) We had book stall, and then an Easter stall.

Ben came up from Sydney for a week. The time went very quickly. Miles and Hayley were thrilled when he took them out on his boat. Hayley was so tired when she got home, she didn’t have time to undress before she went to sleep.

Miles broke his arm at school, just before his 12th birthday. Hayley helped me make him a birthday cake.

The following week, my nephew Callum also broke his arm! When they got together at Easter, Miles and Callum found they were still able to play soccer.

Relle was away last weekend and I fed her two crazy abyssinian cats. They are very spoilt and do whatever they like.

Ollie and Fluff are getting on well, as long as Fluff doesn’t get too close to Ollie.
