The line stretches on

As I progress through this morning in readiness to catching the 3pm flight to Paris this afternoon, I want to share with you my day yesterday. It was wall-to-wall family.

My daughter, grand-daughter and I had lunch at Neilsen Park. Then we visited my father in his nursing home in Paddington, down the road from where I type this. Whilst there, we 'entertained' so many of the old people who were delighted to meet Alannah. We also introduced Alannah to Alex, a much younger disabled resident who responded so delightfully to a young person. In the evening, we were joined by my whirlwind son, who entertained us with his antics and garrulousness, whilst also fixing blown globes and wayward netbook installations. In between time, I fielded calls from brothers and cousins.

So good to be part of a family ...
