Multicultural Festival

I have been woken for the last four mornings by the phone ringing but as it is in the living room it has stopped by the time I get to it and there has been no message. I had a feeling it was Kirsty trying to call so I had emailed her and said if it was her and we did not answer to please leave a message. Well this morning it rang again and yes, it was her and she left a message - she was getting her times mixed up!!!!!

We did finally mange to have a long chat with her and she told us James' grandad had died that day but other than that they were all OK.

We took Totty out for a late walk and then we went up to the Historical Village for the Multicultural Festival which was very good. They had lots of food stalls there and we had a lovely Thai lunch. There was a parade of national costumes which was lovely and also a stage with traditional dancing from all the countries I think there were about 11 countries represented.

We came home after lunch and spent the rest of the day here.

We had a chat to our neighbours who told us that their children had done well in the school triathlon with Petra coming first in her year and Flynn coming third in his year.

After taking Totty out for a walk we had a nice dinner of lamb with a tomato and feta salad.

It was a very warm night and we sat out on the deck talking till very late.

Jon has been trying to sort out a trip to Thailand for my 60 birthday in June. He is keeping the hotel a surprise but we were trying to sort out flights. There are no direct flight to Phuket and we will have to go via Brisbane and return via Melbourne but that is better than some which go via Singapore or Kuala Lumpar and take about 34 hours due to stopovers!!!!!

WEATHER
Cloudy but very hot and sunny.
