New Years Eve and so much has happened in 2024.

Posted on by joansjottingscom

The last couple of months have gone quickly. I’ve settled back after my SA holiday and fully recovered from my sprained ankle.

Family activities are now my focus and the end the year is upon us.

Shakira did well with her dancing…. Bangara Dance Co.

Making things . It’s not knitting weather but I had to see how this wool knitted up.
….. and baking things.
We all traveled to Asquith to attend John Coughlan’s funeral. His health had been troublesome for a while, necessitating increasing bouts of hospitalization. RIP John.
Our second big extended family gathering this year. It was good to see Michael and Sean who both live in America now with their families. Joanne, Meredith and Sally have been a big support for Pat.
Rare opportunity to get my offspring  together.
School achievements.
Christmas lights with Aunty Sharon.

Christmas this year was a quiet family affair. The weather was kind and everyone enjoyed opening presents and sharing Christmas dinner together. We are aware and mindful of how fortunate/ blessed we are.

Christmas Day 2024

Robyn and Sharon had a quick visit to see Lynda and Ethel in Old Bar before New Year Celebrations.

Enjoying a reprieve from the hot weather. My girls with their aunty at Old Bar post Christmas.

Meanwhile back home we celebrated Ian’s 48th birthday.

Retired in April 2017 after a long career in cardiac nursing which I loved, I find my life has totally changed. After almost loosing my husband last August to a dissecting aortic aneurysm complicated by a massive watershed stroke post cardiothoracic surgery, we are adapting to a very different life together. This is our now story. Update, November 2025. Chris continued to do well until he had a stroke in August 2018. This time after 2 weeks on life support with no sign of improvement he passed away peacefully with the family present. RIP Chris, much loved and missed.
