Visitors

So the big weekend with my parents has come and gone. They arrived Thursday night late-ish so were basically just settled in, given the tour of the new apartment, and we caught up on each other's gossip.
I had Friday off work, so had a bit of a sleep-in (don't you think the best sleep ins are always on week days?) and then tag team shopping. Mum was first while Dad kept himself busy doing all my handy-man jobs (thank Dad!). We sorted out a new dress, wrap, shoes and handbag for Mum to wear to my sister's wedding in October, plus a few other bargains for each of us along the way. Dad was next - a new pair of jeans, plus a trip to Bunnings to help pick out some tools for his eldest daughter.
Friday evening was out to dinner at one of my favourite restaurants in Enmore, and a bit of an after-dinner drink at the Duke where Sandy joined us for a while.
Saturday involved a relaxing day, a surprise visit from Ron & Harriet (Ronene's family) after a bit of an issue with dodgy keys to Ronene's unit, and slowly preparing for Saturday night dinner.
The dinner was a roaring success with family and friends and massive amounts of Italian food.
Sunday started with a big clean-up, then down to they Quay for a tour of the Opera House - very interesting. Back home to take-away dinner and a trip to the movies (You, Me & Dupree - wait for DVD).
So now I'm back at work and they're on their way home - time flies when you're having fun and it feels like it's all over before it's begun.
thanks for the visit Mum & Dad - great to see you!!!
