my mum arrived this morning after nearly 3 months at sea.  i got there at 6.15, just after the ship docked, and when it was still dark.

using the method of mobile phones mum was able to appear at a big port hole and wave

she wasn’t able to disembark (get off) until 9am so i had a happy few hours taking pictures of the boat waking up

after we’d driven home and dropped off mum’s cases we went to see kezia in her inter-school swimming competition

then this afternoon we popped by the doctors to check on mum’s throat which has been a bit painful recently and the doctor discovered she has tonsillitis, so she’s been given antibiotics and prescribed plenty of rest.  so that’s good as there’s a tropical cyclone on the way so we were planning on staying in anyway!
