MANILVA THIS WEEKEND.

SATURDAY 26 th/ JANUARY 2013

We had a nice lie in on Saturday morning and awoke to clear but cool day, the forecast is getting back to normal by Monday and next week it is getting warmer – up to 21degs! After our tea and toast we got in touch with Jack and Lyn on the Skype video – we wished them “ Happy Australia Day ” – they had a ‘ Barbie’ in the afternoon with some friends that had come around; it was the evening there so they were watching the Tennis which is just up the road from them in Melbourne. It sound like they are planning to come over later in the year for six weeks and visit the sisters over in England and at the same time take in Scotland and of course come and stay with us ! Brenda is already getting excited as this year her birthday in June is a big one – which we going to celebrate in style! There is also the possibility that Norah and Jenny might come over at the same time – so we would have the four sisters together here - Watch this space !!!! As you can see in the picture above Jane has become a grandmother for the third time when her daughter Alexa had a bouncing baby boy- Harry on Friday. Over in England it was FA Cup day – Everton beat Bolton 1-2 and City just managed to beat Stoke 0-1. In the evening for supper we had our English Sirloin steaks, as you can see in the picture above! We had finely sliced Green Beans with Baby Button Mushrooms and crisp Chips – we then found a film to watch “ Point Break ”from 1991 with Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze and Gary Busey in a story of a FBI agent who goes under cover as a surfer to catch a gang of bankrobbers.

PS; This morning,Monday Jack and Lyn called on the Skype video to say that they are booking their visit to England,for six weeks arriving in London on the 8th June ! It means that they will be able to fly out to see us  with Norah and Jenny  for the weekend of the 22nd on Brenda's 70th birthday celebrations- to say that everybody is excited is somewhat of an under statement !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Watch this space.

Thought for the Day;

Only Mothers can think of the future, because they give birth to it in their children.
