[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 123240, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Linda, husband & I were trying to work out what kind of fish - is it a tropical fish like a guppy? difficult child 3 has a tank full of guppies, they are about all that survives in it. Sounds fun, though. Good luck with the angiogram. Sharon, I hope you enjoy the field trip and it's not too cold for you. The news today for Sydney - apparently it's in the record books, we've had the hottest January on record in Australia, pretty much across the country. They say that with the records continually getting broken, global warming is fairly conclusive. Today it's been damp. We had an inch of rain overnight, a little bit more during the day. We could have gone to the beach but it wasn't too hot this afternoon, plus the sand would have been wet to walk back on. easy child 2/difficult child 2 & BF2 went to a funeral for his step-great-grandfather. The old man was also a surrogate grandfather to him - complicated family history, but a very special man. He was a refugee post-WWII from Poland, he always taught his family to love Australia, it was for him very much "the lucky country" and he lived for Australia Day. And died on it, too. Somehow fitting. BF2 showed me a photo - he looked like James Dean. His wife was a widow with almost-adult kids who were in shock when their mother married this fabulously good-looking and very young man - what a woman she must have been! And when her son-in-law (BF2's grandfather) died young leaving a very young family and the authorities were about to split up the kids, this man adopted them and raised them, looking after his step-daughter as well. Sounds like it was a very fitting tribute today, to an amazing man. Tomorrow it's a fairly normal Saturday for us. I've got some messages to run and will have to use my scooter - the main street is almost impassable with the 'improvements' the local council is doing. Nowhere to park. I'm hoping I can still get in there on the scooter, they've taken out a lot of the wheelie accessible paths (illegal, but there's nobody to stop them). Wish me luck. And have a great Friday too. Last day of the school week! Marg [/QUOTE]
