Five on Friday: <\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

M<\/b>y week in a nutshell!<\/span><\/h3>\n
1. I’m counting down to my 11 weeks in Europe, and it’s frantic. <\/span><\/div>\n
I haven’t exactly lost the plot yet <\/span>and taken all my clothes off <\/span><\/div>\n
to meditate towards the ocean<\/span><\/div>\n
 but ….<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Easter walk at Somers beach, Mornington Peninsula<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
2. We did have a much talked about Family night at a burlesque show at Easter<\/span><\/div>\n
which our (adult) kids warned us was going to be <\/span><\/div>\n
‘all naked women and nipple tassels…’<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
“Don’t be silly” I said, <\/span><\/div>\n
“It’s Spiegelious! <\/span><\/div>\n
They’ve hired a Belgium Spiegeltent, <\/span><\/div>\n
it’s a classy show <\/span><\/div>\n
it’s like Cirque du Soleil just in our seaside town.<\/span>

<\/span><\/div>\n
I was right it was classy. <\/span><\/div>\n
The girls had nude coloured undies <\/span><\/div>\n
and lots of gold and sparkling diamonds…<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span>Ha! We all had a great night but… <\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Spegelicious tent, Sorrento, Mornington Peninsula<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
3. Eighteen year old Son perhaps still traumatised from 2 above, <\/span><\/div>\n
well, the bit about going with his parents… <\/span><\/div>\n
wasn’t concentrating at Soccer training, <\/span><\/div>\n
or went in for a brilliant tackle, <\/span>which ever way you look at it, <\/span><\/div>\n
and has broken his ankle…<\/span><\/div>\n
Do you like his natty footwear?<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Stepping out in Melbourne<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
4. In preparation for my big trip,<\/span><\/div>\n
we <\/span>did a gigantic Costco shop.<\/span><\/div>\n
  I bought a mammoth supply of loo roll. <\/span><\/div>\n
Well I don’t want the family to be caught short whilst I’m away… <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
It was a only a little bit hard to carry into the house,<\/span><\/div>\n
 with crutches, <\/span>and still learning to be less wobbly in a moon boot. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
No, of course I’m not leaving any food or anything else. <\/span><\/div>\n
They’ve got to miss me you know, <\/span><\/div>\n
and find it hard… <\/span><\/div>\n
Haven’t they?<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Returning from Costco@!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
5. Various trips to the Melbourne Comedy Festival<\/span><\/div>\n
have brightened the week,<\/span><\/div>\n
 Well you have to laugh don’t you?<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Moon over Southbank Melbourne<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
