On Wednesday, I attended my youngest grand-sons swimming carnival. He swam in most of his age races and ended up getting 3 second places in butterfly, backstroke and freestyle and a third in breaststroke. I was very proud of him. Below are a few photos.

Here he is at home holding his ribbons. |
Yesterday, I drove up to Easts Rugby League Club in Brisbane to have lunch with some very old friends. Most of them I have known for over 35 years when we volunteered together at our children's school tuck shop. They still meet once a month and although I haven't been able to get there very often, I managed to catch up with them this month. I am in the above photo at the back. It was like I had never been away as we chatted for several hours.
They all exchanged small gifts as this is their last meeting before Xmas and to my surprise they all gave me one as well. In the photo above, a friendship calendar, a Christmas tea-towel, a small photo album, a wallet with diary, pen and notebook in it, a lipstick holder, a cake of goat soap and some scratchies (no luck on those). I went home one very happy girl. Will have to make them a small gift when I next get the chance to catch up again.
Well must go and prepare a quiche for dinner. Till next time happy stitching............
