Further tales of a sick father

Yesterday afternoon I visited my father at Lake Macquarie Private hospital - he is recovering well and should be out by Monday. All the equipment has arrived - high chair and bathroom aids for him to use.

Yesterday morning I went birthday shopping for a very good friend - both our birthdays fall on 12 December which is Monday. I actually know what I'm receiving for my birthday - "Little Britain: Series 1 & 2" DVD set. I really love this show, comedy at its best, great for brightening up my day when I've had a really shitty one.

This evening I'm going to the Xmas party for the Newcastle library social group which was formed in October. We're going to a Chinese restaurant called Romances at Morisset. I've been informed the food is below par, but I guess we're going more for the company, so I guess I should treat it as a wonderful social experience.

I'm having an early breakfast today on Merewether Beach at a supposedly nice cafe, which mother has arranged. I'll report on the quality of the food tomorrow when I get some free time. I've heard it has great food, and it's been a good 2-3 years since I last had breakfast out somewhere nice, so I'm really looking forward to venturing there.
