I am keeping pretty busy. It will get busier too soon. Judy & Balan & kids are coming to stay for a few days soon. It will be our 50th wedding anniversary on 11th March & we are having a little luncheon party for family & friends on 14th. I have been told that I am not to do anything, just sit back & get waited on. I am apparently going to get thrown out of my kitchen by my family. I am going top sneak in some preparation the day before though. It is not as though I don't trust them it is just force of habit I suppose.
I have already made the cakes, one gluten free & covered them. Made sugar flowers too & just have to finish them off.
Son-in-law Balan is coming up on 11th & Judy & kids on 12th. He has to go back late on 14th as that is the time he could get off from the hospital.
Suzi & family arrive back from France tomorrow too. They have been over there celebrating Gilles mother's 86th & his fathers 88th birthdays. They had nearly a month over there & have all put on weight from all of the good food.
They are not calling in on the way back from the airport as they have been travelling since Friday. Had a day in Madrid then long long flight home via Amsterdam where they stop for an hour – Seoul where they stop for 3 hours I think – Sydney another 3 hour stop and then home to Brisbane. They will be pooped by then I would think. Probanly sleep for a day or so.
Robbi went to see a bullfight with some friends in Madrid & will never go again. He was disgusted & upset with the whole thing. Poor bull didn'r get a chance.
Better go get dressed I have to go over to Bribie for some treatment on my back. Have been having it twice per week for a couple of months now & sometimes it is worse after but I must give it a chance. I will try anything.
Love
Junior

Now Barb, you wouldn't dob in a twin would you? I promise I will only do a little bit - here & there. I promise to be good.
I am really looking forward to it. There will be about 50 people I think, & that is without immediate family. Gilles is going to put up one of their marquees out from the carport so there should be plenty of room under cover. They are also bringing the tables & chairs that they use when they do events like the Woodford Festival.
It will be great having Balan here too. He has not been at one of our family gatherings for years. He has always been working or studying or both when Judy & the kids came over from New Zealand. Now they are in Melbourne we will see more of him. He came up for a flying visit when Robert was in hospital a while back.
Gabes, I have been going to a Chiropractor who practices something called SOT. It is a fairly gentle sort of manipulation. It has been good for my neck as I can move it now & the pain in the back of my head & my neck has all but gone. I dont think that much can be done for the rest though. It is in a bit of a mess. The doc said that for someone who has played a lot of sport, had a few falls & is getting on in years he is not surprised. Anyways there is no harm in trying.
Lotsa love
Liz

I am so looking forward to it. I will sent photos.
Suzi & family are back in Australia but Indiabeau is sick. He has been trowing up all of the way home. Suzi says he is travel sick but he never has been before. I reckon he has either caught a bug or eaten something that was a bit off. Who knows what you get on planes & at airports.
I think that your tonight will be my tomorrow morning, right? Look forward to a little chat.
Lotsa love
