An Autumn Sunday

The Majella is on ice ready for the arrival of baby Ella. She is officially due on Wednesday 9 May and Jody is more than ready for Ella to arrive.

It has been a mild, sunny week in Canberra. Rob raked a lot of leaves this morning. The foliage on our claret ash was not spectacular this year - so much thinner than usual and not its usual rich claret colour. The pistachios are as brilliant as ever and our sasanqua camellias have never looked better. They are flowering spectacularly at the moment. While the recent rains have been welcome it is still DRY, DRY, DRY.

Rob and I had quiet day today. I had a "PD" day with my school's exec. team yesterday and it was nice to just stay at home and catch up. Josh and Jody called in, in between a laksa lunch at the Dickson Noodle House and an early dinner with Claire and Jeremy. We were very outgoing last weekend with a special dinner at Aubergine, Griffith with Maxie & Rod and our first vist to the new Dendy Cinema in Civic to see Paris, je t'aime (which we loved).

It is Mother's Day next weekend (as everyone knows). We will have a family breakfast here if that suits baby Ella's plans.

Look forward to seeing you guys again soon. I'll be down in Canberra dropping off non-overseas type materials on Friday 15th June, if you don't have plans would love to see you before I go.

Take care, Love to all. Sending good thoughts Jody's way for today!
