A birthday

from w
Yesterday Peceli celebrated his 75th birthday with a low-key party just for our household of eight in the evening - Kentucky Fried Chicken, prawns, Lemon Meringue pie, a cake made by a friend, etc. We drank kava too of course. Earlier in the day Peceli and I had driven up to Footscray market, left the car there, and taken train rides around Melbourne, mainly to visit Matt, a patient in the spinal unit of the Austin Hospital which made me feel absolutely grateful for being able to walk, stand, sit and move about. Some people have such a hard road in life and our prayers are with Matt at this time. We shopped at the Footscray market, visited a friend who works in security at a bank nearby and came back to a Geelong drenched by rain. There was a lot of walking, climbing steps, etc. in Melbourne. We'll have a bigger party on Sunday after a Fijian church service at East Geelong, inviting friends from Werribee area and others from the Altona Meadows/Laverton Fijian congregation.
