On Friday I went to visit my mother who is in hospital with a DVT. She's been in for a week, hopefully getting out tomorrow. it was good to see her, because she seems fine - fed up with the whole thing, rather than looking weak and fragile and old.
Then on Saturday Helen, Elise, Leon and I took the train to Ballarat to go to the Obsidian dark been festival. There were 36 beers and in theory you could try all of them. I got to 16 of them. It was in a beautiful historic building, and we all had a good, and tasty time.
Afterward, Helen and Elise headed back to Melbourne and we went to Leon's parents place.
It was Kathy's birthday on Sunday, so Kerry and Fiona had flown in from the Gold Coast. we had a lovely evening, and it was fun to see the siblings in their childhood home.
Kizz headed up on Sunday - unfortunately we had already headed home, but I eft the knits I made for him, and he sent this photo:
All up a very satisfactory weekend, with family and good friends and lots of knitting time on the train.
Now I've got the rest of Sunday afternoon to lounge on the couch and read, prepare some spinning fibre and generally relax. It feels very luxurious.
