Dear Tracey, It was lovely to receive your cheery message and to hear that all is well. I'm glad to hear that Emily's rash is clearing up well. Mike seems to be keeping busy. You'll be pleased to have him to yourself for awhile when you travel to Tamworth on the weekend. You'll have a good choice of outfits from their shops at this time of year. Some of the new seasons fashions look really nice. We're having a cooler day today but it's been very summery since the beginning of September really. Hope it doesn't get too hot for a while yet. We'll be back in the pool before long. Shelley and Lachlan are both fairly well. Shell has a cough and sore throat which she can't seem to get rid of. She's going to the doctor about it today so hope he can help her . Lachie is taking part in a 70's dance with his class and has been practicing for that ...finding a suitable outfit was a challenge! His break up party for soccer is this weekend. He may be presented with a medallion as a participant which will delight him I'm sure. Fondest wishes to all of you, Jan
