Happy Birthday Jake
Jake is really into dinosaurs. We took him to Kids Playland for his Birthday but all day long he was waiting to have his dinosaur cake his Mum made. He was so excited about all the dinosaurs.

When a garden's not a garden.
We went to our friendly neighbour bowling club at Northmead on Saturday night for a Christmas in July dinner. I was never keen on the interception of Christmas in July and think it should be called "Winterfest". Some of our card friends asked us to come along so we did in spite of the fact the Tigers were playing that night. Anyway the people who run the restaurant at the club are Chinese and I don't know if they were quite sure what a typical Christmas in July dinner was but they tried their best. They served Chicken and Pork (without the apple sauce much to my disgust) and Chocolate Muffins with custard (which I left as I was looking forward to the plum pudding). Despite the disappointment with the dinner we had a good night with lots of dancing.
To my surprise the next day my knees were ok and I could move around. I managed during the night to go into the other room where the screens were and watch the end of the Tigers match with Peter, one of our friends who is also a tigers fan.
Tebbut Lodge news...... Last week we arranged a garden bed in a pattern and planted some different types of flowers. This week we were told my the Manager that we had to dig them all up and plant them somewhere else and this patch was to be lawn and not a garden. So Robert and Thomas dug them up and we replanted them. Although I don't know how they are going to go after their poor start.
I manage to type up a bit of Ron's book on Sunday and discussed some of the pages with him today. There are quite a few spelling and grammer corrections I have to make as I go along. I think I need Melissa to do some editing. I will send her some of the book shortly.
Trivia gets a good turn up these days. I think it may be the chocolates I hand out afterwards. Even the ones that have been asleep seem to wake up at handout time.
