Saturday, May 24th ... I'm sitting in a pop-up shop in Launceston, waiting for customers to arrive. The shop is set up to display some of the art produced by Giant Steps' students; today is the last day and we hope to sell some of the last few items which haven't been snapped up. The show us being sponsored by Tasgas and they have included a few items devised by their staff members and all in all it's a very interesting mix.
We have been busy over the last few weeks moving into our new house. It's been a slow process and I've discovered that what we did with ease in our thirties takes a lot longer now that we are a little (or a lot) older. However, the house is great and it's been well worth the effort. Jamie and Nera have arrived from the Philippines and are starting to make the house fit their needs.
Back to the future - tonight, we're taking a break from wedding arrangements. Jamie and Nera have moved out for this week, into a little cottage just around the corner. We have Anne and Alan, and Sandy and Janet staying with us. We've been drinking lots of wine and eating good food so life is pleasant.
Nera's having friends around tonight for a hen party. They've set up the karaoke and I expect the place will be bopping. Their menfolk are relegated to another room. Pity the poor neighbours! We've ordered Thai food as everyone's fed up with being in the kitchen.
We had planned to have the wedding ceremony out of doors but that's not a clever decision in Tasmania in July so it will now be held in the Rotary Pavilion. Food preparation began today and tomorrow will be spent setting up. It should be great.
