Day One ~ September 2007

Well, here we are, who would have thought it, I finally got around to starting 'a blog'.

First off, if you're of a sensitive disposition and don't like to see too many inverted comas then, please, go look someplace else ...I use them with unrelenting repetitiveness ...

and the ...'s are 'mine' too so if they annoy you ... you know the rest.

I'll start where I said I would and that's with yesterday, Saturday 15th September 2007.

Got a phone call from my son who was apparently planning on coming up to town to visit some places not usually open to the public and generally get see his home town again.

After a real bad week (of which more later Perhaps) I was of a mind that just hearing he was OK and just knowing he was in town or there abouts was 'Good News'.

Later in the day, just as my partner and I were heading for the bus home, I got another phone call, which made me think, why not have a get together, at home, where we could chew the fat and generally be more relaxed that would have been the case in some fancy tea room/bistro in town ...
Turned out my Granddaughter was there too which was an unexpected bonus.

When we finally got home, after the surprising sight of a seaplane over the city
and meeting an old friend and neighbour on the bus, we had a cuppa (Italian decaffeinated coffee) while the GD had a glass of juice ... then, before our 'visitors' left I managed to get some photos taken, which added significantly to the super-duper surprising nature of the day.
Only 'downer' on this otherwise great day was that the house was in a total Mess!
We'd not been 'expecting visitors' and so I'd just up and left everything when leaving on our usual Saturday mission ... 'Bargain Hunting' ...
