Tuesday

I could have happily stayed in bed this morning as I was lovely and cosy and needed more sleep.

I didn't shower as I had to go to keep fit and then come back and get ready for the lunch so I just had breakfast.

I left for my class a little late as I had a call from one of the Lions ladies about books - what else!!

The class was good and it was really warm. Diane told us we needed to be careful about what we wear on our feet as a lady fell yesterday, she is 84, and they had to call an ambulance and she has a small fracture in her pelvic area which with the bang she took, so I am told, and at her age is not bad!

We all left after the class to go and get ready for the 10th Anniversary of our group.

I got ready in super quick time and went to pick Margaret up and we went down to Pilot Bay where the restaurant is.

There were 115 people there and I sat on a table with some of the people I was in the Golden Olympics with and we had a really good time. Unfortunately, the food, which is usually very good there, was not very good at all but I think I was one of only a few who thought so, so I kept my mouth shut and didn't say anything.

I got back home about 3.30 and felt really tired so had a cup of tea and a sit down in preparation for the Lions dinner meeting tonight!

I left to go and meet the other ladies and we drove over to Te Puke in Patricia's car. We all had to wear a hat and when we got there it was explained why. It was a race day and it was the Melbourne Cup. All the tables had floral decoration on them with a horse figure in the middle and it looked very nice.

All in all we were 47 ladies all with hats and it was a great night. They had set the tables so that we were all spaced out and as I was on the end of the table I had the company of two very nice ladies.

The dinner was lovely, a beautiful baked ham with lovely salads to go with it. They had passed spring rolls and samosas round while we were all chatting and they had put mini chocolate bars on the tables to have with out tea/coffee along with some lovely little tarts. AND they had fruit and herb tea which is nice as I can't do anything with caffeine in at night. It was $7.50 less than we paid for lunch but worth twice the price.

I got home about 9.30 and feel ready to drop and I am looking forward to my bed tonight.
