Not long now before I head West

I know I've been slack again and my only excuse is I've been busy, socialising!!

Visited a friend in Mt Eliza and caught up on a lot of news. I did Midwifery with Denise and have kept in touch. Mt Eliza is near Frankston down on the Penninsula, south east of Melb. It was pretty cold, but thats Melb. for you hot one day cold the next. We, including Kaiser and Chardy, went for a walk along the boardwalk in Frankston and watched some Dolphins play in the ocean, all very civilised and calming.

Have been socilaising quite a bit in the last 2 weeks. Went to Gisborne, old stomping ground, for the week end. This place is colder than Melbourne. Caught up with quite a few friends and had one or two drinks!! Saw Brendan's sister and another friend who I met on the ship when I went to England in 1973. Judi married an Englishman and stayed in England for nearly 30 years before returning to Australia. Judi lives in Bendigo which is about an hour north west of Gisborne.

My elder sister's husband has put in my CB radio and I was listening to some truckies (females included) and boy it was entertaining. Language is unbelievable but listening to them is better than the radio. I've now got to work out how to use it for my benefit!! Not sure whether I have to have a call name but my sister thinks ' Whiskey a Jo Jo ' would be appropriate, not sure what she means!!

This Saturday is, Jennie's and my Birthday dinner, and am really looking forward to it. Monday I plan to head West and hopefully will then have something interesting to write about.



 Just going for a walk. Sorry the photo is up the wrong way!!

Frankston Pier Until next time

Bye
Love
Jo, Kaiser and Chardy
