Had a great day at the BBQ G brothers and wife's there also his mum( she's 85 ) G had a lot of belly laughs which did us both sooooo good . Prior to the BBQ G had had a emotional morning , he says I just can't control my emotions sometimes Chris , so we both had a good cry together . But that's how it is hey . Love to you NannaB 😘

[NannaB in reply to Chrism2]

I'm so pleased you both had a good time at the BBQ. The change in emotions is a strange symptom. C would have tears streaming down his face and sometimes sobbed. One day I heard him doing a real wailing cry and ran into him immediately bursting into tears myself at his total sadness. Then through the sobs he said, "I'm so happy". He had been watching a film that had a happy ending. From then on, if he cried I would say "Happy cry or sad cry". It was nearly always a happy cry. Now he has tears in his eyes a lot but is unable to say why. He rarely puts his thumb up now either. I think it is the eye condition causing the tears mostly.

Love to you too. I hope your day is as good as can be.

Chrism2 enjoy the BBQ and Spring weather I wish I was there, in the meantime I am battening down for first real storm of the winter expected over 70mm of rain (much higher in hills) and 40-50 mph winds plus, definitely not BBQ weather.

Lovely city though only visited there 25 yr ago for New Year on way to Philip Island for penguin watch only a hut then but from TV shows the hut has long gone and replaced by a visitor centre. Will no doubt have changed radically but there will still be the walks and parks off the Yarra River. Enjoy the people watching.

Hi Tim sorry delay in reply .

Re Philip island , yes is so commercialised now , seems we pay for everything . We used to go there years ago as a family group , camping in our tents , combi vans whatever we had to rest in . We used to go the other side of the sand dunes just across from the little shack that used to b the "office " . Had the best time went same place for years always kept the camp site tidy never any trace we had been there . Then we returned on our annual stay to find all fenced off " no camping allowed sign " up so that was that . We were so dissapointed .

Last time we were there was in 1988, my mum was over for a visit from uk . That's when there had been a huge change , pay to go in through a turnstile , don't mind paying , but it's just the way they changed the whole scene . When leaving the beach after seeing the Penguins , we had to walk through a souvenir shop that's what I don't like . Food and drink so expensive typical tourist prices , which is a shame .

Anyway I still remember the good times we had . 😀Chris
