JANUARY 2015 - Second Instalment

The last weeks of January were much more exciting, Barry had two overnight kayak trips. This is the first trial run from the local boat ramp.

This was the first overnight trip with four others,  The banks are very steep in our area.

Next Barry went to see his son for his 50th birthday in the Blue Mountains and I did a lot of cleaning up in the vege patch while he was away.

Then I went to Sydney on Friday night on the overnight train and met up with Barry, saw my darling  granddaughter and met her man, and picked up a soprano mandolin I bought on ebay for $90, and also purchased an octave mandolin which is a dream come true.

We arrived home Sunday night and my son and darling d-i-l arrived Monday morning which was Australia Day for an overnight stay. Robert was very complimentary of my cooking,and it was a great visit.

Since then Barry has had another kayak camping trip, this time downstream from town, seven went altogether.   There was a bit of drama at the end when they decided they wanted to be picked up earlier than expected and somehow my phone was on silent Barry could not contact me and he called my friend who was passed from one to another where I had been during the morning until she caught up with me after I wandered home.

Today was my first public performance of my octave, in church with Lynn and Barry. and very happy, so much so that I am planning to participate in the Monday Night Music tomorrow night.

That's all for now.
With love.
