Dear Craig,

      How are you.? We hope all is well over there with you.

 We have had about 9" rain over the last 3 weeks. Everything is looking nice and green - but the water storages haven't improved in compacity.

   Jim had another seizure last week 8th Nearly the same time of day + the same thing happened - as the first one on 1st July last year. They (Dr's) still don't know what has caused it. He has to have more Blood Test on the 10 July. His Prostrate reading was abit high + is on Anti-biotics at present. His Cholesterol was up slightly but it's not of any real concern.
He's not playing very good Golf at the moment. In fact, apart from yesterday he hadn't played for 3 weeks.

  He also has to have a hip replacement There will be a wait of 6-12 months as we don't have Private Health Cover.

But the Surgeon to do it is supposed to be the Best here.

     Have inclosed the Birthday Party Invite Eric, Lorna, Betty + Newton McLardy are comming. We're not sure if Chris + Tony + Kelly are comming - Haven't heard from them yet.

Otherwise mainly Freinds around town. I doubt that Jim's Brother Alec, + Sisters Violet + Betty, will bother comming.

    The Grand Kids are all well + growing very fast. + are all active little guys.
Michelle has a job offer in Melbourne (still in Law) + is going to take it. Both her + Carolina are single Women again. Carolina had three weeks with us in April. It was lovely to catch up with her again.

  We've just put new lino (vynal) on the Kitchen + Laundry floor. Looks good. We claimed it on Insurance - so it cost us nothing. also put a good second hand carpet in our Bedroom. (we had it given to us) the other one was getting pretty drab. The guy that done the vynal done the carpet the same day - While Jim was fixing a leak on the roof. He was very tired - as he had had two very busy days - that night (or 12-20AM next morning) was when he had the seizure. (Last Sat.) I got the Ambulance + he was at outpatients till 5AM then came home. He was still very tired for a few days As with last time - nothing showed on all the tests that they done.

     "Whitey" has just put a swimming pool in his front yard. - so the front yard is all pool now. Last Thursday - after his night on the "Grog" (the night before), they were in the pool with the Dogs included. I can see some midnight pool escapades come Summer, after "Grog" Days, comming up.

   Jessica + her Boyfriend have just had a Baby Girl. She's a little "Cutie" they called her Taylar Jane.

     Alec had got an award for good work at shool the other week. Brandan had his 3rd Birthday Party at "Crazy Maze" last Thursday. That's a new Place out near Big "W". - a kids place Tunnels etc a Big Maze. It's quite good for kids under 12. I think Ingrid takes the Boys out there a bit.

   Well that's about it for now.

OH, I think I told you the Pub was building a Motel down the front. - where the flats you Lived in were. - Them, + the house Mrs George Lived in have all gone. the Motel looks like it will be 3 Storeys high.

     Well that's it for now.

   Miss you + Love you always

           Mum + Dad.

        Take Care.
