FRIDAY 1 OCTOBER     HEALESVILLE

I was pleased to see the end of September. It had mostly not been a great month.

John drove to Lilydale to practice bowls, and was away for several hours.

I had a quiet day around the van.

In the early evening, we drove back to Lilydale to have tea at a hotel where K’s brother in law is chef. The meal out was K’s birthday present to John.

While we were driving down, I took a phone call from John’s brother C, who wanted to thank us for the family photos I sent. I had a chat with him and Z. He got ‘flu really badly after returning from Melbourne – thinks he probably picked it up on the plane.

For tea I had chicken parma and John had fish. There was not a huge choice, especially for someone with limited chewing! It was an enjoyable night – good to spend time with K and P.
