Today Georgie (Martins wife) invited her mum, her mums friend Pat from Adelaide, Dorothy Snelleman (Bert's wife) and myself to high tea at the Stamford. It was so beautiful there and such lovely company and the food was delicious so much to eat and a glass of champers, at ten am wow! but we all managed to don it down.
Tony was driving me to the train when we heard there was a problem at Central, so he drove me to Chermside and I caught the bus into the city, the bus is terrific and it only took 15mins to King George Square, from there I walked to the Stamford. We stayed at the hotel until almost 12noon. Georgie dropped me off at Roma Street and Tony picked me up at Narangba all in all I was out for half a day.
Eventually got the dresses for the girls in Mt Isa some of them had only been worn once and the manager of the Vinnies Store in Morayfield gave them to me for such a good price, they arrived safely in Mt Isa on Tuesday and the girls are over the moon with them. According to Anne they wanted to start wearing them straight away and the shoes she almost had to drag them from their feet, just waiting to get some photos from the formal which will be next week
Anne has decided to come back to Brissie and as yet has not secured a job but has had a couple of interviews so please god it wont be long before she will be set here, and it has solved our problem of a house sitter when we go overseas.
We have filled out the forms to go to Hong Kong and have decided we will not go there for Chinese New Year but instead will get there at the end of January or early February.
We caught up with one of the ladies who has been to Hong Kong as a volunteer 2years ago and she gave us an insight on what to expect when we get there. Its somewhat different to what I was expecting, but then again I had no idea what to expect.
Not a lot happening at present, except lots and lots of voluntary work and everytime I see Rita she has another job for me, this week it was house cleaning and we are on a two week roster, but only for 6 weeks. But I do enjoy doing it.
Can't think of anything else for the moment but if I do I'll add to this
