Best Friends Forever With or Without the Tattoo

When you're 50 you can drink alcohol and eat chocolate biscuits before breakfast. The three of us have been friends since Year 9 in high school. We were all each others bridesmaids and even when we haven't seen each other for awhile it's like we just talked yesterday.

We had a weekend away in the city after 37 years as friends and the talk of the weekend was that we should get matching tattoos (our husbands spent their time suggesting what would be appropriate). We may be wild enough to break the alcohol and chocolate biscuits rule but the tattoo was a little beyond us in the end.

In the end we all got a matching overlapping hearts pandora bead........I think we will still be happy to look at that when we are 70......not so sure about looking at a tattoo in 20 years.

Survived The Floods

Things have finally started to settle down now after the January flood. We moved out because we knew our house had 70 cm of water through in 1974. Luckily we moved unnecessarily.

We came home thinking we would find a muddy mess but thankfully the water stopped about 3 metres away from the house. If you kept walking across that 3 metres you would step off into 9 metres of water. For as far as we could see it was water. The first photo shows the bottom of the driveway. It came up another 9 metres from there.

Still trying to find things that got packed so quickly, moved and then moved again. We certainly were some of the lucky ones.
