How interesting life is, when someone turns up at the front door that you have not seen for twenty years. The wonderful thing is that this man who has turned up looks no different from twenty years ago. He is doing very well. Going on long bush walk at Milford Sound soon, which is really really nice.
The sad news, the sad times, a future has been cut short because of a tragedy. So sad, and those left behind have lost a friend, family member. How much it reminds us to live today for the day it is, and to value our friends and family.
I have read a wonderful book in the recent weeks, a book called The One Hundred Year Old Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared. I laughed out loud at it, and found the farcical story so entertaining. I think the ending was a little let down, but up to that moment, it was good fun, and I am still smiling at the memory of it. By Jonas Jonasson, I thoroughly recommend it.

The thick of things
Why is it that when I am on holidays I plan to be better organised in the new year of work, but when I get back to work, it disintegrates. Somehow I seem to get to work and then not have time around the house to do all I would like to do. Part of that is getting distracted, and other parts are things that come up unexpectedly.
On such unexpected was the pleasure of having someone whom I had not seen for many years call in. That was a pleasant change. It was really nice to see him, and to be able to find out some of the current interests he has. I hope that he will call in again sometime.
I am also being distracted from my reading of books, but have read a great book that I am recommending to anyone who needs a laugh. The One Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson. I recommend it for a farcical, hilarious take on the twentieth century big events, and the fun of having someone live a life unlikely. Still it did have a lot to it. What is even better is that it is now a week since I finished it and I type this with a smile on my face, thinking camels, elephants, many countries, strange help, and all of the wonderful things that the book contained. The end led itself to you filling in the possibilities, and a frightening potentiality for Australia.
Enough for now, the dishes await, and I must get to them.
Hopefully I will get back to the doing of the Sunday type.
