[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 422256, member: 1991"] G'day everyone. TM, enjoy your quiet morning. Linda, drive safely and enjoy the company. ML, enjoy your warmer weather and tonight's birthday party. Sharon/WO, good luck for easy child/difficult child in the job hunting. We have had our typical Good Friday. Off to church in the morning, followed by coffee/tea and hot cross buns on the veranda. Although it was an early morning service, it was almost lunchtime when we got home. husband's back is still bad, I kept reheating his hot pack through church, we found him an armchair to sit in. This afternoon I made our church candle - it's the annual candle, it is supposed to be installed on Easter Sunday, and it is made up of all the previous year's candles plus contributions from every church family plus visitors. The candle is long, which means the wax cavitates as it shrinks so I have to keep the cavity open and top it up with hot wax. This candle cavitated badly, I hope I managed to fill the hole. Tomorrow we'll unmould it - usually husband does it for me but with his bad back, it will be a problem. Once it's unmoulded I clean it up then decorate it with glass paint. I must do that tomorrow so it is dry for Sunday. Sunday's service is whole village one, at sunrise on the beach. Cold! Our shops are all shut on Good Friday. Not only is it a public holiday here, but it is one where most places shut down. Malls, stores, supermarkets. Tonight we had our usual family Good Friday meal - Grandma's macaroni cheese. I can't eat it, it's too greasy for me, so I made some pasta. We had easy child 2/difficult child 2 and SIL2 arrive mid-afternoon while I was mid-candle, it was lovely to have them for dinner. They're staying overnight with us. So they were here when easy child rang and finally broke the news to her sister and brother that she is expecting a baby before Christmas. husband & I have known for over a week but were sworn to secrecy. Now our kids know - we can tell everybody! Marg [/QUOTE]
