On Tuesday 17th February, I travelled from Brisbane to Geelong and stayed with my mother and sister at Bell Park.

This morning (18th February) I did lazy things like reading the paper and listening to the wireless while Karen went to a university course she is studying and Mum went out shopping with my youngest sister Trudi. It’s great to see Trudi again, the first thing I notice is that she has lost an enormous amount of weight since I last saw her.

After a nap, I caught the bus up to Bell Post Hill where I renewed contact with my middle sister Ann and my brother Rodney with his son Jack, and met for the first time Rod’s wife Misti.

Edited after returning from holidays on 27th February 2015 to add the pictures, as I was unable to edit or post to the site during most of my holiday.
