Last week I was invited out to a group gathering at a restaurant which was to be yesterday evening. That small group work at Castlereagh Special School where I have been helping out with their computers for some years.
I begged off the invitation as I am not yet up to socialising. I now feel uneasy that I didn’t take up their kind offer because I ended up attending a function at Willetton SHS for the retirement of Peter, one of my colleagues when I taught there.
I didn’t know about this function until I arrived home at 5pm and found a phone message telling me about it. I owe Peter. He attended my mother’s funeral and Joan’s funeral and it was only right that I front up to his show. It was mostly over by the time I arrived at the school and I stayed for only an hour. I left with a good feeling of camaraderie with Pete and other colleagues I had worked with.

Kev, I'm sure that the girls at Castlereagh will understand that it was important to attend Peter's retirement function, there will be other nights, I know how you felt when you misplaced your wallet and keys. I was getting things together for Bali trip, Looked everywhere for my $20 American I can't find it anywhere, while looking everywhere for the missing money I misplaced my passport. I've now found my passport but don't know where I hid my bundle of rupiah, I keep putting things away and then can't remember where I put them.It's all just too much.I did find Had's poems and letters last night,Lovely memories but just too sad, I'm going to stop and do nothing. Woody Allen movie Annie Hall tonight, You just can't but Woody allen movies anywhere. Marg
