Sunday. 30th January 2005.
Yesterday my husband Neville & I saw our son Mark & his son Yu-Jin off at Adelaide domstic airport, after their week with us. I remarked to Neville that I could not beleive that we were seeing them off, when it only felt like yeasterday that we were there meeting their flight.
We stayed overnight in a *****Star hotel, which was a belated Anniversary present and my birthday present, from Mark & his famliy. It was wonderful, but to be treated to such luxury.
The next morning we went to the Central Markets and had breakfast. After that, we were wandering about wondering what to do to fill in time till check out time, & I suggested we should take a ride on the Tram to the Bay. (Glenelg) We did that, though Neville was reluctant at first. Mark managed to puruade him to come just as the tram was about to leave. We walked along the jetty and back, then Mark & Yu-Jin went down on the beach and looked for some shells. It was then time to go back to the hotel and get our things. We then went and did some shopping and went to The Brickworks, which is now a fruit & veg market among other things.
We then went to the airport, and Mark tried to ring a couple of his friends, but they were out.
We had a wonderful time with them, which is why the time seemed to go so quickly.

Thursday 27 January
This is my first real blog posting.
We have had our son Mark and his son Yu-Jin here from Perth W.A. They have been here nearly a week, and I can't believe how the time has flown . They have been to our small holding at Naracoorte, which is 80Kms from here, south. Yu-Jin was very excited about seeing the sheep. My husband Neville showed him how a sheep is shorn, then helped him crutch a lamb.
Later, when they went into the irrigation channel,to cool off their feet, Yu-Jin tried to walk in the water and slipped over. The water is very cold. Unfortuneately, he did not have a change of clothes, but on such a hot day, it didn't really matter.
The farm, as we call it, is only 90 acres, and we have had it nearly three years. It does not have a house on it, and probably never will while we own it.
