Another big catch up

November 2007 I attended another Getaway, I hadn't scrapped in such a long time that I only managed 5 LO's for the whole weekend, I mainly slept and socialised. On the 13th Nov we celebrated Luke (Bec's partner) birthday, we went out to dinner to the Thai Influence Restaurant.
December arrived with still no work as the trucks were out of action. Melissa & Al arrived on the 17th at 4.55 am, they spent 2 nights with us then spent a couple of days doing the tourist thing in Melbourne (Al's first trip to Melbourne). Xmas Day was fairly laid back, we had lunch then Dave went up to Bendigo to spend the night with his family, I had already told him I was spending it here in Lara (Don't need the 'family' crap anymore), so Xmas night was at Daryl & Fe's, we were home by 9pm. I took Melissa & al up to Bendigo the following day so they could catch up with Peg (Nan).
New Years Eve was stinking hot so we decided to have a BBQ down on Eastern Beach and watch the fireworks, it was great not only did we see the fireworks in Geelong but could see another 2 lots going on around the area. Afterwards we went to Dave's mates place and spent the next couple of hours drinking & swimming in their pool. Miss & Al flew out on the 6th Jan, I was a blubbering mess.
On the 10th Jan Fe was induced and she invited me to be there with her & Daryl, so I got to see another baby into the world, it still amazes me.
Caron, Anthony & kids were coming over for Paige's christening, they're to be her Godparents, so they put the twins on a plane and they set off in their 4WD, the twins did not cope very well with being away from Mum & dad so Sheree their Big sister came and took them for a couple of days. On Sunday 20th Jan we celebrated Peg's 80th Birthday with a BIG family get together. (I had to attend this one) I spent the whole day outside the function room as it was too cramped & stuffy, I used Paige as an excuse to leave as soon as the cake was cut. The following week was spent getting ready for Paige's christening. Unfortunately hardly anyone showed up, at least we had Godparents. Caron & Anthony bought Paige the most beautiful gown, vest, necklace & candle. In my rush I forgot to empty the camera and was unable to take any photos, so am waiting on Anthony, hopefully he has some nice ones. Caron, Anthony & family left the following day to return to Perth.
Dave finished repairing the truck so we were back in business (after 3 months of no income) so to treat ourselves we went fishing on the 3 rd Feb, we went to Torquey and inquired as to the best fishing spot, we were directed down a dirt road it turned out to be the nudist beach, not deterred we went and spent a couple of hours attempting to fish but the surf was too high & too many rips so we went for a drive around the area, ending up in Geelong fishing off the main pier, Dave caught a small brim. It was good just to get out the 2 of us.
On Friday 15th Dave took his mate Redeye out for lunch, Dave won over $400 on the pokies so he paid all the small bills around town and took me out to dinner at the Grovedale Hotel, the meal was divine, a bit on the expensive side but well worth it.
Tuesday 19th was an eventful day, Bec's partner Luke left to return to Bendigo as the relationship is over, he was supposed to looking after Paige when she cut herself in his care, that was the last straw for Bec, so I took him to the train station as I was concerned he might get aggro. He went quietly. I then caught up with Bec after her Mothers group, we went for lunch and did some shopping, I dropped her off around 4.45 pm and came home, I sent her a text later on in the evening to see how she was going, she said Paige was looking for Luke and that made her upset so I told her to put all her energy and focus on bubs.
Well I'm off to get my waxing done.
