Present
Jo,
Geoff, Helene, Terry, Cathy, Leonie, Trish and welcome back to David C
We are fortunate to have David C return to the group after his gory and glorious battle with Sweets Syndrome in hospital. Trish went to see the
Bogan movie "Housos versus Authority". Helene gave blood on Tuesday. Terry talked
about Tom Hank’s father who was in the Diamonds. Cath’s pineapple is nearly ripe, her Mexican
garlic has grown and she bought in a book in to share. Leonie has progress in
her garden thanks to her physiotherapist and following the exercises. Jo’s son bought her a Laptop but it blew a
fuse. Geoff had his foot operation, thanks to Terry for help with transport.
Geoff is feeling much better and now wears a surgical glove on his foot in the
shower.
