Birthdays and shifting

The "Baby" I'm looking after. KIAH!
Well it seems that not many people read this blog because I have had no reaction from anybody about our shifting to Rick and Karen's. I guess all the important people know. The family , ofcourse and the people at the village. The reaction from the village has been very nice in that they don't want us to go , which is a bit surprising . One or two even shed a tear, including my kitchen hand . I've asked her to take on the cook's job. I'm told that rumour has it we are leaving because of the Manager that is not true, it is simply because of Trevor. The Manager's antics have not helped to settle Trevor but it is not our consideration for this move.
We had a lovely Birthday, Karen and I. We got a few bits and pieces together for the family on Friday and I had morning tea with Ina and her friends.Then Rick's surprise was the birthday cake that was not a birthday cake, it was just great and they tasted lovely which made it even more delightful.More coffee at the cafe today and then to the Casino where Trevor lost his money and I left $40.00 in front, for a change.We have also had our meeting for the Dutch day and all seems to be well there.Holland seems to be doing well in the soccer and I have had many photos showing all the orange dress ups and house decorations. Scott, Jo and the kids went to see our team play in Melbourne. Last week they had a huge win here but they had a loss again over there, what a shame but Scott said it was worth going to such a great venue.Everyone has rung and messaged me and I got some great gifts. I feel very priviledged. It is COLD. 4 *c in the mornings but about 20*C high. Had two more school friends visit on Thursday, Kay Kovalevs, best friend at school and bridesmaid and Maureen Gathercole. Should have taken a picture but had Caitlyn and forgot again. It wa s very pleasant though. What is not so pleasant is that my cardiac investigations are not finished, there seems to be something wrong at the bottom or back of the heart and I have to have further investigations on Friday week.What a bummer.trevor getting gradually better. Busy times ahead.
