San Francisco wedding

I have just returned from Perth Domestic Airport where I dropped off Martin for his plane to Melbourne. He is relocating there and has a job waiting for him....not a great job, but a job.
Finding Accommodation may be a little more difficult and he may have to do the Backpacker thing until he can get a unit.

Meantime, I will continue the refurbishing of the unit we bought to house Martin and ready it for rental. It will be rented as a furnished unit. Already the tenant in the unit above Martin’s has contacted me and wants his daughter and partner to move in. I will let an agent handle the rental. I don’t want the hassles of being the mean landlord.

I had a visit from Joan’s sister Dorothy and Mike yesterday. Mike has had Parkinson’s Disease for some years and it has progressed to the stage that he needs full time care. He cannot speak and needs specialised foods to avoid breathing in liquids and most regular food. I feel for Dorothy as she has to attend to his every need. Even so they are travelling to San Francisco in a couple of weeks for their daughter’s wedding. Mike shouldn’t be going, but Katherine their daughter wants her father to attend. We were invited, but since Joan’s death, I don’t feel like travel, so have apologised and will stay home. Helen and James are also going, so this family is represented. Mike and I got along well and it is very sad to have lost a friend to this insidious disease.
