Subject: Not drifting.. still floating along here..

Hi Tina and all.I haven't gone to the new site. don't even know about it actually! Just that it's been a busy week. Last wekend I went away to a writing conference for 2 days. Itwas a livein, very basic (scout camp) but the meals were excellent, and the workshops very good. It was a CRime and Passion weekkend.. only in theory unfortunately.. well, the passion part I mean. We did workshops on romance writing and crime writing- lots of fun.It was in a big wildlife reserve.One evening I was out walking on my own and a grey kangaroo bounded right past me.Didn't see any other animals, but did see crimson rosellas, blue wrens and little honey eaters.
I mentioned a while back that son Simon and his wife Sinead were off overseas. Have had several emails, and they're having a wonderful time.. saw a lot of the beautiful English country side, and then Scotland, and today they head for Ireland.Simon's birthday today too.
Ellie.

Oh Ellie how wonderful for your son and his wife to be travelling.Great that you were to the crime and passions week end. This you will not beleive but I swear it is true:About 8 yrs ago the big Oak Island Inn resort..about 8 miles from here had a "crime and passions week-end: a big prise for the ones who solved the "supposed"murder.Well the second morning some guests saw 2 "bodies"hanging from a tree outside the resort..after going out and poking and prodding the"bodies" shock of all shocks the bodies were real.Seams that a depressed couple who "found"each other at
an asylum 90 miles away-decided to go to this beautiful place and do a murder suicide..not knowing this was a murder mystry week-end.Swear it is true..Did I curl your hair?

Ellie, sounds like you had a great time at the workshop and the area sounds beautiful. Happy Birthday to Simon as well. You won't believe it but my nephew (my sister's boy) is overseas in Scotland at the moment, he is staying with an ex-girlfriend. It's amazing the current girlfriend in Australia doesn't mind (lol).
Tina, yes my hair definitely curled - oooh!!!

BTW, I'll be offline for a few days, my computer has to have some minor problems fixed, hopefully it won't take too long - they suggested 2 days - how am I going to manage????? (lol).

Ellie, that sounds like a terrific weekend!

I bet you're missing Simon and Sinead, despite the emails, but it's good to hear they're having fun. And happy birthday to Simon.

Kylie
