Time flies by SO fast when you are having fun. The adage is true indeed. Sunday morning we hired a car and to our surprise they said they would give us a free upgrade to a spankin brand new BMW 318i at no extra cost. Wow! We couldn’t just pass up the offer up even though ……

What I now feel a little bad about is that having lived nearly two long year right next to the Lane cove National Park I never made it there.Though we are excited very much about our move, sans the shifting hassles we are a bit upset about leaving behind our extended family, the lovely diddums, the gorgeous Rainbow Lorikeets that come every morning and evening for their feed…. one that jumps up and down my precious Refus palm(they know I hate it) and the other that poaches on the hanging pots and hell would break loose if I got up late.

After testing the drug in himself, Dr. Cade administered it to his patients.The play addressed his time in Changi and explores his relationship with a manic depressive patient at the Repatriation Hospital where he worked now known as bipolar mood disorder, a mental illness that affects mood states, from the extreme highs of mania to the deep lows of depression.A very touching play, I couldn’t help myself and had a few tears trickling down the corner of my eyes.
