Spirit of Tibet

Monday night we went out to a small restaurant called the Spirit of Tibet. Just a small group, my mates Les and Paul and the wives, friend of Les, Betty and not forgetting Angela.
The meal was great and you were able to bring your own drink. The whole night only cost $50 a double. The next morning I had a bit of bum burn, but that's par for the course for me when I eat any sort of curry. It won't be the last time we go there.
We are having a concrete slab installed on Friday, this will take the place of the stones and tidy our outside area up.
Friday will see me off to Donnybrook for the weekend for Vietnam Veterans day. Just a few beers with the boys and a chat about old times. Take Care.

My New Turntable

At last, with the help of my mate Les Thomas, I am now able to copy all my old 33's to my computer and then convert them to MP3 format. Now I am able to play all my old music where ever I like. I am able to copy to memory stick and play the music through the whole house. What a great idea, to think I nearly through all my old records out. Long live the Beatles.

A good joke

A guy charged into a bank today wearing a balaclava and wielding a gun.He made people lie down while he stuffed money into his bag.As he tried to leave one brave guy ran at him, failed to overpower him, but did pull his balaclava off. The robber shot him.
He then shouted 'did anyone else see my face' most people looked down at the floor but one guy looked at him, so the robber shot him as well.
He then shouted 'did anyone else see my face' and after a short silence a voice was heard from a far corner 'I think my missus got a glimpse.... "

.......and the winner is? Angela Mohr

On my post below I mentioned I was taking Angela down to the quilt show in Caloundra to view the quilts in display. Out of all the quilts (over 150) Angela's was voted as the viewers choice. She won a fine certificate and $150.00 and you can't get the smile of her face. It was a narrow win by only one vote from

Debbie Norton. Debbie's quilt can be seen on the left. The quilt show was a great success with over 1500 people coming through the doors. Sales were up on the last show (two years ago) and it is hoped it will get even bigger and better.

All Angela's friends know by now, she could not wait to get home and start the ring around. It's the best I have seen her since she broke the bone in her foot.

Well done Angela

Caloundra Quilt Show

After the computer club I had the honour of taking Angela down to the Caloundra Quilters to view some of the wonderful quilts on display. On the left you can see Angela sitting proudly beside one of the quilts she placed on show. There were hundreds of quilts on display so it will be hard to find one that stands out from the rest.This quilt is called "peaches and cream" and took 18 months to complete. The photo on the right is another one of Angela's quilts.

Angela's quilt is on the left of her, the one on the right was made by my sister Cathy Allwright. All and all is was a great day and you can appreciate all the work the ladies put into their work, they must be very proud.

Donnybrook trip on again for Vietnam Veterans Day

Long Tan Vietnam

We are off again to Donnybrook for Vietnam Veterans Weekend. We hope to have a few more then last year. Last year I ended up with the flu and was confine to bed for a few days. That the weekend 15 & 16 of August. More to follow has it comes available.

You just can't keep a good woman down

Angela may have a broken foot but you can't keep her out of the shops. I pushed her through the markets and she still managed to find a dress shop to look through. If I had my foot in plaster the last thing you I would want to do is shop. Never mind, that's why we love them so much.
