Daffodil Day

On Friday, 23rd August we celebrated Daffodil Day. This day is very special to me in that it is a major fundraising day for the Cancer Foundation to raise money for research into a cure for cancer. I lost my darling Dad to this terrible disease many years ago and I’m always willing to support any fundraising event for this great cause. Every bunch of daffodils that are sold in the supermarkets help to boost the total of funds raised. This always signals to me that spring really is just around the corner. My little $6 bunch were just so pretty I just had to share them with you.










We also had a wonderful birthday celebration on the weekend. Mr FH celebrated his 60th birthday. We had invited 38 close family and friends to help us celebrate in a private box at the city races. We had the most wonderful day. Guests arrived at midday and were served entree, main course and desserts and we finished at 5.30. Such a great time was had by all. Somehow I completely forgot to take photos of the beautiful food!!!

This is the view from our room. It was the most beautiful day…..the sun was shining and just a gentle breeze. As usual with our family, there is always some sort of drama. Our son-in-law was feeling unwell on Friday night but thought he was ok on Saturday morning but deteriorated as the day went on. Our daughter ended up having to take him to hospital at 10.00pm and he was diagnosed with pneumonia. No wonder he was feeling so unwell.
It is just starting to rain – a great finish to a lovely weekend.
