There was a time not too long ago when no body was allowed to eat in the bedrooms. Necessity has altered this rule and Peter (camera eye), Mon, Mum, Dad and Phil shared a memorable and rare family lunch together in Mum and Dad's bedroom. It is becoming less and less common to see either of the oldies downstairs these days. Old age is taking its toll and we all have to adapt to our present conditions.
Peter has flown up to North Queensland again, this time for a slightly longer stay. His brother Mon had a real need to return to Melbourne to wind up his affairs there. When Mon returns, it will probably be for a very long time... like Atherton will be his home. Mon overlaped a full day with Peter in order to show the many details required to be a carer for both old parents. Peter was on a high learning curve. If he makes a mistake Ma and Pa (as they are known by our children) will forgivingly correct him.
Peter drove Mon to Cairns Airport and saw him off in the dropoff zone. My goodness Cairns is hot at the moment! Mon was off on his new adventure, the main part being emptying his unit in Melbourne and driving back with loads of stuff. May God give him travelling mercies.
