[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 382169, member: 1991"] G'day, people. It's Sunday evening here. Daylight saving started today; I actually quite like it, although mother in law hates it so much I think she is convinced I hate it too. We've had a weekend away. Yesterday was my brother's 50th wedding anniversary which we held on the other side of Sydney at the home of one of my sisters. She is the sister who was so desperately ill earlier this year; she said that preparing for tis party gave her something to work towards, to focus on. She is still struggling to recover, she loved it this weekend but I could see her tiring fast. Yesterday's party was siblings and spouses only, although some of the next generation who live nearby dropped, plus we brought difficult child 3 with us. My brother's two kids were there and their children, of course. We left after an early dinner, we had booked into a B&B and still needed to check in. It was a lovely, quiet place where we stayed. We left there this morning for the next event - a major family reunion. This was for all descendants of my father's father, a very large crowd. Some of these people I haven't seen for 50 years. Most of them (apart from my siblings and their families) I haven't seen for 20 years. We were comparing family tree notes, photos and stories. A lovely day. I was disappointed our Sydney kids didn't come, but hopefully we will have another reunion without waiting another decade or more. Tomorrow is a public holiday, so we have another day to acclimatise to the earlier starts. I will probably use the time to chicken-proof the vegetable beds. It looks like the two hens have eaten all my lettuce seedlings... I also need to get more hens, and now is the time when chicken farms are renewing their stock so I can pick up some feathered bargains. I have a few people to visit (work) and some other chores to deal with. Enjoy your Sunday. Marg [/QUOTE]
