Holidays & colds

My sister arrived the day before Christmas Eve from interstate. First time I'd seen her for sometime. Christmas Eve we set off from Ballarat on the train to Melbourne, catching another onevot to Dan & Adelles place. Little Charlotte has come on in le apps and bounds-understanding a tremendous amount forher age. She tries to string words together, but it just comes out as gobbledygook for now. She says a few single words.

Adelle's r relatives formed the large contingent for Christmas lunch. All veryjolly. They couldnt go home till quite late as tbe weather turned very nasty-complete with tornado. Indeed. When they arrived home, they discvered extensive damage to the porch and verandah of the house.

We returned on the trains on boxing day, and have done our usual touristy things. Though today, Phil was on her own as I stayed abed with heavy cold.

Will load some photos later.

  1. What is it with colds at Christmas? Sorry you've been smitten, but glad you had a good Christmas with family first, Kathleen.

    Happy New Year.
