[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 67193, member: 1991"] G'day, all. We just got back from the city about two hours ago. easy child 2/difficult child 2's 21st birthday lunch went off really well. We went to Sydney's Centrepoint Tower, to the revolving restaurant. If ever you're in Sydney, a visit here is a must. Mind you, going to a restaurant with a panoramic view, on a cold foggy day is not a brilliant idea. Most of the view, was grey. We could barely see the streets below for the first hour we were there, then the clouds began to lift a little and we could see under them. No chance of seeing our house from there, as we usually can. Plus, two of our party are afraid of heights and had to sit well away from the windows. easy child 2/difficult child 2 had invited two girlfriends including one we've been really worried about - she's a easy child whose mother has thrown her out while she's still trying to finish her final high school exams. The kid is now living at her boyfriend's house with his parents, we were beginning to worry that she mightn't be telling us a full picture - if she had broken up with her boyfriend and was now living on the streets, for example. Thankfully, no need to worry, she's doing really well. We talked frankly about her situation in the car on the drive in, she's really got her head screwed on straight and our minds were set at rest. She's now realising that a lot of the family stories she grew up with (ie that her father is a ratbag who walked out on them and doesn't care, for example) are probably not true; at least, they need to be reexamined. We dropped the friends home afterwards also. BF2 stayed in the city, he has a business meeting and husband is probably going to drive back 'to the mainland' tonight, late, to get him (he has well and truly missed the last boat, at 5.30 pm). easy child & BF1 came back to our place and from there are driving home to Canberra - work tomorrow. Life is very busy for them at the moment. Tomorrow I see two doctors - my pain specialist and an emergency with my urologist over the latest series of infections. Still not sure what to do with difficult child 3 while I do all this - he's supposed to be doing schoolwork, but I can't supervise him properly while I'm dashing here and there. So after the rush, we now have a few moments of peace. Only difficult child 3 seems to want to eat an evening meal, the rest of us are still holding our stomachs and groaning. We had to bring the birthday cake (passionfruit cheesecake) home, uneaten. A quiet evening is called for. We have one couple less in the house. Nobody on the floor tonight. Hey, maybe difficult child 1 & girlfriend can supervise difficult child 3's schooling tomorrow! Yippee! I've got a substitute in the house for a few hours! Enjoy your Sunday. Marg [/QUOTE]
