More holidaze

We’ve had a very social weekend. Best friend from high school days came with her three kids Saturday morning til after lunch. Then sister in law and two nephews, and a family my mum has "adopted" (newly emigrated from South Africa and completely lovely and fun) came mid afternoon until night. Miss 3 was in her element, first girls to play with then cousin to run riot with, then a teenager to read her stories in the evening! Master 6 also had a ball, taking the Sth African kids fishing at the dam and they had a huge haul of "bobbies". Much fun.

Today we had unexpected visitors for a while about 8.30am (none of us even out of PJs! – luckily good family friends), then we went to Drillham to BFFHS’s family for a few hours. Then to town to see another friends and kids who were just visiting their parents for the weekend and spent a couple of hours. After that it was pool time again – my kids are just having a ball at the pool, and we manage to time it well to meet with MORE friends and kids! Two and a half hours this arvo…  Home again to same friends as we’d visited this afternoon, just the matriarch and patriarch of the family though đꙂ

Tomorrow Poppop takes the boy back to Poona for more fishing, while the girls stay home – shopping trip to the "big smoke" tomorrow, then more socialising planned for the week.

But I’m not getting NEARLY enough reading done! I did finish a Kathy Reichs and the Elizabeth Knox monster I was reading (both in the one night – got hooked) and I started a lightweight Nora Roberts last night…

    Greetings from Hughenden

    Hey there Mrs Social Butterfly, I was just addressing the Peter McNamarra awards issue – I don’t know any of these folks at all, at all. So I took a stab, lets hope I haven’t upset some carefully balanced apple cart of Australian hierarchical precedence in sci-fi spec-fic lit.
    Will you be at the Aurealis Awards in Brisbane? I am flying down – fingers crossed what with the cyclone hanging about and all – and plan to get to the judges panel and the awards ceremony and the breakfast and the industry panel and maybe even get to see a movie in amongst that lot.

    All is well in the bush/outer planet of the Big H and hopping to have a fast but uneventful 2009.
