I woke up to my brother David telephoning to arrange what time he would come to pick me up, it was eleven o clock so he said he would come for me at one. I telephoned Hamada and told him i had booked my reservations and i would be there on the 21st July.

David came for me at one, it takes about an hours driving. When we got in the house he was nodding his head at me, i thought my buttons were undone or something, but it was my lap top ! I had only ordered that and a digital camera last Sunday. My digital camera, which i was hoping would arrive before i went away, arrived at David’s on the Tuesday, very fast ! And my laptop arrived on Thursday, I was very pleased ! We spent a couple of hours going through and showing me how everything works, but i think a lot of it will be trial and error, haha.

I went upstairs about four o clock to straighten my hair and put some make-up on, soon after my sister Hazel and her partner Chris arrived with their three daughters Ashleigh 18, Kirsty 14, and Nicola 9. I hadn’t seen them for a couple of months and i am always amazed how much they have grown between visits, Kirsty is so much taller than me now and Nicola wont be far behind.

Sarah was in charge of the barbecuing, unfortunately we didn’t have the glorious sunshine we had last week, it started to rain so poor Sarah had to do the barbecue under a parasol, not that it affected the taste of the food. The drinks were already flowing when Ruth and Doug arrived, she didn’t finish work ’til three thirty so it was about six thirty when they arrived. So my camera has been put to use already to put on my lap top ! It was good fun catching up with all our news and i had fun with the kids. It was a shame when they all had to go but because of work they had to leave about eleven.
