Today was my first lunch out… and it was at Meads! This is the very nice seafood restaurant on the water where Mum and Dad held their wedding reception. Today we went there for lunch with Melanie. We all had a very nice leisurely lunch, I behaved nicely for a whole 3 hours before we all headed home for a late afternoon snooze. First, Mum had to head next door to ask the neighbours to temporarily quieten their noisy parrot (by covering up his cage) because it is so noisy for the guest bedroom and Melanie couldn’t sleep. I am lucky that my bedroom is not so close, but I guess I’m used to it now and the noise doesn’t worry me.

Auntie Kate came over to look after me while Mum and Dad delivered Melanie to the airport for her long flight home before they headed to Mark Tucek’s 40th birthday party with a RED theme. Dad wore ¾ length trousers, red knee length socks and a red Hawaiian print shirt… hmmmm! Mum’s red and black top was a little more “with it” despite winning an award for the hugest shoulder pads in history!
