Marilyn's birthday was a great success. There were about 40 people there including friends from both Deloraine and Longford. Madi flew down from Brisbane with her three kids and Robyn was there from Wollongong. We had the party at the local bowling club and the ladies provided a fabulous afternoon tea. I organised a Pass the Parcel game which was very popular. Even adults like to let their hair down occasionally.
We have a huge bunch of balloons in the corner of the lounge: a large 8, a 0, and a bunch of ordinary balloons in various pastel colours. Apparently, they come from Spotlight and are designed to match the occasion. We'll have to put up with them until they deflate naturally and then we can throw them out. Does that mean that the helium gas is escaping into our lounge-room? And isn't there a world shortage of helium? Maybe we could take them back to Spotlight who could re-sell them. They've only been used once and are 'as new'.
Today, we can afford to relax. Marilyn and Robyn are watching a Youtube video of someone called Brogan but I can't stomach it so I'm keeping out of the way. I have a Probus Executive meeting this afternoon which will get me out of the house for an hour or so.
The weather is not great. We've been having very hot days but today is overcast and chilly. I've already done the watering so that's out of the way.
