Back to earth
In amongst all the excitement of our Father's Day get together - and reunion, with all the grandparents now back in Australia, I tried to get a group shot of all the little kids....
You can see I had mixed success, although this little series of pics does show the hilarity that goes along with anything they are involved in together. Ella continues to adore Ollie and finds Angie intensely funny, but a bit scary at the same time. She is Miss Business to his Mr Business, but in every other way they are at opposite ends of the gender stereotyping continuum.
This is Ella with her new favourite person especially since she presented Ella with her vintage (early 80s, mint condition) Strawberry Shortcake dolls (one black one white).
We ate & drank, talked, played and sang non stop, in between hearing all about London, Cheshire, Dave & Cath, our Bali/Lombok travels and Erin's Melbourne preparation plans. The girls all had fun trying on and making their choices from the suitcase full of Topshop jersey tops that Maxie brought back courtesy of London Cath. Our London Cath's jersey tops' department is now the biggest selling department for Topshop. The sales figures just sound astronomical to us. She is obviously a bit of a girl wonder.
Just to add to the mayhem Maxie downloaded a recording of the very ancient Chicka-boom song by Guy Mitchell, from Youtube. This is currently Ella's favourite song and we had to play it over and over and over again. Even Granny K. had to join in a little impromptu dance.
On a less positive note quite a few of the grown up girls are still nursing horrendous viruses, affecting various ears, throats, sinuses and eyes. I have felt sicker this week than I have for about 50 years, with the flu, a middle ear infection and conjunctivitis. Has there ever been a worse end of winter season for flu bugs in Canberra?
