Frenchy's for lunch

 It's always a delight to meet up with this beautiful group of people. I had my usual dish: Goat's Cheese Quiche.

Xmas 2025

Xmas in Sydney

I spent Xmas with Shushann, Allan, Xenia and Judie.  Lovely succulent turkey and pavlova were the culinary highlights. We had a bit of a sleep and then did some karaoke with Xmas and other songs. A beautiful day with special friends.

 

Xmas in Cape Town

The family did their main meal on Xmas eve. Xmas morning brought on the ritual swim at St James.

Lunch with Shushann

We went to a lovely Thai restaurant in Crow's Nest. Shushann treated me as a thank you for the help I gave her with Google Ads. The little kid in the photo is temporarily inherited!

Helping Shushann and then swimming at Coogee

I went to Coogee to help Shushann with her Google Ads. It was quite cerebrally challenging so afterwards I went for a swim and stroll at Coogee Beach.  Just what I needed to switch off and unwind.

Audio of Jilly

This audio is recorded from a chat between Shushann and Jilly in 2022. Priceless stuff!

Frenchy's for lunch

Frenchy's has become our new regular haunt. Food is great and the girls are in love with the French waiter who I must admit is quite a dish !

Nushi's birthday at the park

Shushann's beautiful doggie, Nushi, turned 11 so we celebrated with a get-together at Milson's Park. Lots of throwing and chasing. Nushi still has a lot of energy for an 11 year old!

Jane's birthday

 A lovely lunch at Balmoral Beach to celebrate Jane's birthday.

My birthday: Turning 54

Beautiful cards and messages from family and friends

Knowing you are an early riser I am sending birthday greetings as you get up and as I go to bed. I hope you have a special day and will be celebrating in some way with friends. I also hope it’s the beginning of a wonderful new year filled with loving friends, happy times and a trip to Cape Town before you reach the next birthday. Much love from us both. Mum & Mike,  Xxx

Happy Birthday Graeme

I know many people from all walks of life and

You are one in a million.

You lead from your heart

You still have that pure innocent wonder of a child

You originate and create

You really care: Mackie, Jilly, Sue, your dear grand dad Yogi and all of us, your family of friends

Nature is your playground and fun and adventure are you fuel.

Like the name of that TV show.

Thank God you are here to enrich all our lives.

Love you mate.

Chris

 Always good to put the world to rights with Shushann

Table tennis and lunch

Xenia joined Chris and I for some table tennis. She's pretty good!  Then Shushann joined us for some lunch at The Alchemist (a local cafe).
 

Chris's 70 birthday

Friends do not come more special than Chris. I'm so blessed to have had him in my life over the past 12 years.  It was wonderful to celebrate his 70th birthday with him.
