Never too old…..

Never too old to attend your 1st Rock Concert. Thanks to Paul we all enjoyed the Red Hot Summer event at the Berry Showground 2 weekends ago.

Beautiful day, lots of people, loud music and in the evenings lots of lighting effects and banks of lighting around the Showground. Everything sensory on steroids.

I asked Tamika if she would be interested in taking a camera to take photos and videos of the concert. As I thought, she was more than keen. So I dusted off my Nikon camera, and oldie but a goodie. Recharged the battery and did the same to a more recent Pentax camera. Interestingly on checking the SD cards I found some old pics and videos of Jai as a baby (15 yrs ago) Chris featured in them as well. There  were even older pictures mum had taken on a trip she had taken ? 20 yrs ago.  Quite nostalgic for me. If I hadn’t got the cameras out those memories would have remained unseen.

It’s been a quiet start to 2025. Can’t complain when you see what’s happening in the world these days.

Robyn has gone back to work. She drove this time. She caught up with the Adelaide Maher’s. Picket, her canine friend was pleased to see her.

I think he likes Robyn’s proboscus monkey a recent keepsake from her Borneo trip.

Paul’s birthday is coming up soon and I have been busy creating the annual Family Photos photo book.

We had enough photos to make a book of the festival. Sharon shared her photos of their holidays with her combined with mine enabled enough material for x2 60 page books.
Because I was in the mood and I had enough photos I now have a 40 page ESC book.

Lynda and Ethel called in last Monday on their way to the Abbey at Jamberoo for a 5 day retreat.

Autumn has had a wet start. The garden is growing at a rapid rate. It will be interesting to see any early autumn changes in the Highlands next week. Fran and I are having a catch up.

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.
