Lunch with my grandmother was good… My grandmother is not well at all, not very communicative at all unfortunately. But she is now 83 and in a nursing home – and is in there for a reason – that she is not well. Anyway there were my grandmothers three sons, their new wives, and one of my uncles had two of his three kids there… And my brother and I were there. So 4 of the seven grandchildren were there too… And one family friend there too.

We ended up spending about two hours with her which was good… and it was also good spending time with the relatives. I had not seen one of my cousins for a few years, and the other for something like almost two years. After spending a couple of hours with the rels, we went our seperate ways – although I met my father, his wife and my brother for lunch at the Sizzlers, next door to St George Leagues Club. This was one of the few sizzlers still in the country, and it really did not have the sizzler feel. It had the feel of a McDonalds rather than a restraunt.

Lunch was good… It was the first time I had seen dad since June, which was too long. He is looking at moving to Thailand for a couple of years for work too, so his life is somewhat in turmoil at the moment… Anyway I had better get going… More later.
