Happy Birthday John...

My brother in Perth west Australia is Eighty today! I have just looked up the birth/wedding certificates, and found that he was 25 when he got married in 1956 so that makes him eighty today. he is my big brother, I am 16 years younger. I wish I had realised that he was eighty, I could have got him a better card. We had a real problem getting a nice brother card..they were either too footbally or beer mugs or cars etc., and in the end we settled for a standard one..but it did have a nice design.
He has packed quite a lot into his life..he did his National Service in the Suez crisis..emigrated to Australia to Queensland as a £10 Pommie. Came back then returned a few years later to Perth this time. He and Ann have four children, all married with families of their own, and they have toured the coast of Australia TWICE some years ago. Quite adventurous in its own right that is. So Happy birthday John XXXX


VT had had a cat day today! He has been attending to the little ginger girl next door, sorting her out, and getting her food done etc., he got a letter today from our neighbours sister which said that she will be with them for a whiole yet...the funeral is on Friday, I feel so sorry for her..her whole life has been turned around, and since they live in a rental property that is another worry. You just never know what is going to happen. He was on their roof in late November mending their sattelite dish..can't get over that.
Then VT went down to the Post Office a nd had a conversation with the woman who looks after the ginger cat the other side when she is away... then he took a parcel to the girl at the end house and was stroking their cat which is a Pedigree Persian and a house cat. Quite a little catty community along here! Then there are the visitors..a very big black and white one which comes around the back and bullies the others..and a little black and white one which comes to the front and is really sweet. Only one dog..a big dalmatian in the house at the other end of the road.
Tonight we are having:
Quorn fillets in sauce with mushrooms
1/2 a pack of white rice
Green vegetable medley to go with.
