Here we are again

Well at last we seem to be returning to a reasonable level of health after that horror flu. Even now we still get very tired and have the occasional coughing fit but generally it seems to be disappearing. Have never had such a longlasting flu with so many side effects. I am back into baby sitting again but Karen has kindly taken over the care of Caitlyn on Wednesdays,which gives me another break.Hence she has so many cute photos of Caitlyn on her blog lately. We will no doubt be doing a few extra babysits because the festive season's functions are starting.I had Caitlyn & Sarah today and they were both lovely. We do it again tomorrow and finish up with Zoe & Riley at their place because Scott & Jo have a function to go to. Tea will be already done for us so that is a bonus. Scott has a few things medically to be doen, a lump on a finger being looked at this week, Knee cartilage to be fixed on the 20th and laser work on his eyes next January.That will keep him out of trouble!!! Last Friday we paid our deposit for our holiday in March next year.We have been saving hard and the petrol money Vicki & Rick have banked for us will help as well. We go to Brisbane for 1 night. Then 7 nights on the Pacific Star to Noumea,Lifou and Vila. Back to Brisbane and another 5 nights there. Have only ever done a cruise to nowhere on a Russian ship , besides my coming here on the Johan van Oldenbarneveld and Trevor did a cruise to Sydney in his youth, so we are really looking forward to this one. Lastly a couple of milestones to record. Caitlyn is finally walking, all the time now and Bella has started her riding lessons. I'll pinch one of Karen's photos again but one must agree with me, she looks like she has been riding a horse all her life!!!Riley & Zoe are doing school swimming at the moment and Riley has started to play cricket.
