Keeping a journal is difficult when you are really, really busy.

What happened to August?
Wednesday 29 August 2006
Okay, confession time. I went to America for most of August and forgot to mention it here in the blog before departing. Well, maybe I was embarrassed to mention it. Two trips to America from Australia within the space of three months - well, that seems very self-indulgent. But the August trip was the family holiday we'd been planning for a year. The May trip (see entries 1 and 2 of June) was business - art business and cleaning-out-the-parents'- house business.

So here's a photo of me with Chris and George hanging out at The Daily Grind in New York. Yeah - the cafe featured in the tv series "Friends".

Just joshing. It is actually the set of the cafe from "Friends" at Warner Brothers Studios in Hollywood. Yup. That is the real couch we are sitting on. The Friends stars all parked their bums here in advance of ours. Cool, eh?

And here we are at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. See Sleeping Beauty's castle in the background? See my great tan? Actually it is a sunburn. Man was it hot there.

We had a few days in LA, a week in Indiana with my family and a week in Orlando.

In case you were following my blog in May about cleaning out my parents' house since they've moved to a retirement village, you may be interested to know that the job STILL hadn't been finished till a couple of weeks ago. It took three solid days of work from two of my sisters, George and me, but by gum, we did it.

Before we left the empty house we four stood in a spirit huddle and prayed for a family with lots of children to come along and buy it soon. SOON! So my lovely parents won't have to worry about it anymore.
