Brian and I had a lovely dinner tonight, a half kilogram of prawns between us with a home-made dipping sauce, fried basa fillets with a fresh salad, and fried bananas with custard.

I had a lazy afternoon watching cooking shows and doing the washing while Brian visited a friend.

Such a tragic waste of a young life, that poor young man who survived an ordeal at sea off the west coast of SA, only to suffer a heart attack later and pass on. I feel so very sorry for his family and also the family of the missing 17-year-old boy from the same accident.

Tragedies such as this make me realise just how lucky I am to have my four wonderful sons, and with the problems some of my grandchildren have faced I am blessed beyond my dreams to have them all here with me.

Tomorrow is a big day, must be up early. Bye!
