Random stuff
Busy, busy, busy. The workmen finally came and started on the retaining wall out back. I have red mud everywhere. Of course this finally motivated me to tackle the gardens which I have been procrastinating over for months now. So the old vege garden has been dismantled. After it has been levelled I'm going to move the trampoling up there and turn the area in front of the new wall into a bbq area.

Melbourne, 11th and 12th Sept 2011
Sunday -
The trip from Sydney was fairly uneventful. Only drama was Virgin cancelling my flight so I had to leave earlier than planned. My darling brother picked me up and we headed straight to Direct Factory Outlets. It's just as well I love my daughter cause i hate shopping lol. Needless to say I didn't find anything.
I caught up with my son last night and met his girlfriend. She's lovely and I am looking forward to spending more time with them both this week.
Monday-
This morning my brother, my daughter and I were outside chatting while he waited for his ride. Car pulls up and he says goodbye and jumps in the car. Oops, wrong car. We didn't stop giggling for quite awhile.
Shopping, lunch, chocolate waffles at Lindt. I'm exhausted and suffering from chocolate overdose. Great day. The girls will be in at 8. Early night I think :-)

Sydney September 2011
Coming back to Sydney after 27 years has been amazing! So much has changed. I briefly passed through last year but this was the first time back on the Northern beaches. Seeing old friends was definitely the highlight of the weekend. It really did feel like it had only been 27 days, not years.
I spent fri night at home catching up with friends and reminiscing. It felt so easy, and I really miss them now we've all gone home.
Sat morning was spent driving around all the old haunts with a close friend, my childhood home (which looks completely different now)and talking about the things that have shaped our lives. It was a very special time of the weekend and one I'll always remember.
I caught the Manly ferry to circular quay and got drenched by the wash. Needless to say the passengers behind me thought it was hilarious. I eventually dried out, thank god for Sydney sunshine but spent the rest of the day feeling like I'd gone surfing in my clothes.
I met up with my cousins at Circular Quay and had a lovely afternoon. I'm so glad I got to see them :-) I had my first Guinness and tried black pudding at the Merc. I can see why people love it, it does taste nice but my head revolted after a couple of mouthfuls. If you didn't know what it was you could probably enjoy black pudding a lot more lol.
As I sat on the Manly ferry watching the city disappear I was overwhelmed by the love I feel for my family. It's far too easy to let time and distance keep us apart and I truly regret so many lost years. With the grace of God hopefully we will see each other again.
Sat night was the reunion. What an amazing group of women. There were so many people I wanted to talk to but the time flew by and then it was over. Hopefully we will stay in touch. I would really like to reconnect with some of these girls.
It was a lovely night and I hope we can do it again soon.
Sunday morning we travelled out to visit a dear friend who is no longer with us. I don't think I can write what was in my heart at that time other than that we will always miss her. There are some things that happen in life that stay with you forever. Love you girl xxx
All up it has been an amazing weekend. I am in Melbourne now, visiting with my son and brother and some other friends. I'm sure the next few days will be just as amazing. Looking forward to it!!!
Love and Light

School Reunion-25 yrs
Wow! 27 years since I left school. It has been amazing catching up with everyone. For some of us it has been like we only saw each other yesterday. For others, a chance to see how we have grown and to marvel at the beautiful souls we are. I am proud to say I was a Stella girl. Some of the memories we hold are wonderful, some cut us to the core of our existence but I believe that everything we experience is for a reason. They are the events that have made us who we are today. I have no regrets. I hold no animosity. We are all beautiful souls on an amazing journey. I wish you all the love and light in the universe and hope that the next phase of your journey brings you everything you need.
In memory of all those who are no longer with us, but mostly for me, in memory of my dear friend Jane. I miss you girl xx
Love to you all
