Sunday lunch

Today was a good day! Our very good friends Ben and Rena came to visit and have lunch with us. They are expecting their first baby, which is actually due on Ruby's birthday. How funny is that? So today I gave them our bassinette and also the Baby Bjorn, as they will obviously get more use from them than I will. It's exciting when someone else is having a baby, lol, especially when it ain't me! But they will be lovely parents I'm sure, and it is very sweet to see Ben all excited about it, as he has always been pretty anti- babies (well not anti babies, but anti- having-his-own-babies) since I've known him, and now he's in there setting up the baby's room and making lists of names.


Simon has recovered well from his pneumonia. He still coughs like a pack a day smoker, but he's otherwise back to normal, though still a little bit pale. poor love was absolutley devastated yesterday that Sydney didn't win the Grand Final. He sobbed after the game. I tried to console him, saying that it was only a game, but I think that male gene has kicked in and he takes these things seriously as a life and death situation, not as a group of blokes running about a field kicking a ball. Perspective people!

Tomorrow I have to pack (dread dread) as we go on holidays on tuesday. But in the afternoon I'll meet Bianca and her boys up at the park and the kids can have a play, while we lie on a rug and stuff our faces with chocolate biscuits. (Of course I mean we will play interactive and stimulating games with the children ;) )

Oh mate i have the worst headache creeping over my skull. I think i'll have a bath and trot off to bed, like the old age pensioner I actually am. Nighty night!
