Catch up weekend

Spent the weekend in Melbourne catching up with friends, shopping and doing a few chores. Took Dad for a walk along the foreshore at Altona on Friday. Then Friday night cooked a big roast dinner for Matt, Erin, Phill, Jane, Carol and Stephen. Got to hear all about Carol's trip to Thailand including her climbing exploits, 'twas a good night. Saturday went shopping for shorts but came back with undies and some fabric to try my reupholstery skills as the couches are becoming threadbare again. Saturday night we had a quiet pasta meal and struggled to stay awake in front of the telly. Today we caught up with Tim, Kim and Emma, Dave, Cath, Peter and Kieran. It was good to see them all looking so well (especially the girls) but it made me feel a bit old (surprise, surprise :-). This afternoon Frank and I called in to see Matt & Erin (before Matt's op tomorrow) and then off to the gym for a climb. Frank is still cranking but the lack of climbing since Nov/Dec is starting to show on me and I struggled up a grade 20 that I could previously climb clean :-(( Ah well. Best off to bed now as I have an early start back to Halls Gap tomorrow for work.
