The Burpee Challenge

Niamh and the burpee girls hard at it.....

 Sunday was the Burpee Challenge day - Clare Green who is a fellow UK playgroup mum is a trainer at a local gym and she persuaded the owners to run the burpee challenge to fundraise for Celia and boy, did they fundraise! I think the figure raised is approaching $5000. We really have been overwhelmed by the support of the local community here.


To prove I did a few burpees too!

Monday was a public holiday here (for the Queens Birthday!) so we took Julie down to the Mornington peninsula for a drive and some lunch. It was a lovely day and we will try and fit another trip down before Julie leaves to sample some for the vineyards and coastal walks (minus kids - Andy is way overdue some one on three quality time!)

The weather has been pretty miserable this week much to Julie's annoyance as for once it has been lovely back home. We are going to stock up on craft materials and Julie is going to get to grips with her arty side.
I meanwhile need to start the arduous task of compiling all the documentation we need for our permanent residency application which has not started well as first thing they wanted was a copy of my old passport with my Australian vistor's visa from 11 years ago and I haven't got a clue where that would be.

On the treatment front, we went for blood tests yesterday at Sandringham and all results were good so next Monash visit isn't until Monday for chemo so Celia is a happy bunny!
