Meeting the Oz side of the Isaacs family in Brisbane

Hi all

Have arrived in Brisbane and I rang Ian and Judy to see if we could meet up in between my project - Judy is my 2nd cousin on my dad's side.
Judy invited me to stay with them for the night which was really kind cos I could be one of those relatives with all sorts of strange tendencies.

Anyway got picked up from the airport and taken to their lovely home in Mitchleton. Their house is huge and they have a lovely German pointer called Mildred (Millie) - she reminds me a bit of Buster but a shorter version and a dark chocolate brown.

They are really lovely people and Yvonne (Judy's mum) came over to meet me - she's 87 and still driving her car. Have been made for feel really welcome and will stop by here on my way back from the projects.

Not much to say at the moment. It is pouring with rain here but as there is a drought here, the water is very welcome.
Start on my project tomorrow - apparently the 1st week I'll be going to a place called Hervey Bay which is next to Fraser Island, which is a very nice place, so lots to look forward to.

All for now
Love Sue. xx
