My oh has sent me an itinerary all ready

curly

I love fireworks do you? sure you will love it

asher

Yeah can't wait should be grand

Have you found out where to learn skippering a speed boat?

curly

Well I have found out you take a test in Southport but we're not gonna bother, as OH does slalom skiing on the lake nearby, where it has a proper slalom course, and a club boat.

OH went to Melbourne last tue, just for the day! The Yarra Valley, which he said was very nice

asher

That sounds good for him
we have friends in melbourne so will be going there for a visit as they have offered to put us up they were ten pound poms but my oh and his mate kept in touch all those years! We also have mates in Queensland we will be going to see.

I have got most of my xmas presents to send to family before I go as the boys would never remember to post them on time

curly

Where in QLD are your mates?

asher

Not sure where Norm lives in Queensland as he's my oh's mate but Debra lives in Bendigo and I will be going to see her as we were pals before I had kids

curly

That'll be so nice to see each other, she been there long? not sure where Bendigo is though
