A New Start for 2008

After a nice Christmas Day, spent with some members of the family (the rest were in Beijing for Christmas and New Year) and a quite New Years eve, we are now back to normal (almost). The raffle at the normal Club has been in recess 'till Friday next, January 18th., on that date we will also be holding our Fishing Club AGM and we will be installing a new "Club President", our present president will be retiring, and "Tony" will be taking over, but Adam won't be putting his fishing rod away just yet, at 85 years, he felt it was time to let someone else do the hard work!As we are having one of our grandsons staying with us for a few days, we went out for dinner, to RSL Club at Bass Hill, and whilst there I bought some Raffle tickets, and had some luck, winning two prizes, a "meat tray" and a "fruit basket" it could be a good omen for the rest of the New Year.

The "Better" half, did not take any photos on her trip to Hong Kong and Beijing, but our I hoping to receive some of the photos taken by the rest of the group, including some taken on The Great Wall. Eileen went up 356 steps! Is that a fair feat? I haven't been, so I don't know if I would have done more.

I wish all the readers of this Blog, a very Happy New Year, and happy reading for 2008.

Best Wishes
