A mini-vacation for us shortly

My husband, Vince, and I celebrated our golden wedding back in September. In two days’ time, we’re booking into a fancy hotel at the Crown Casino for three nights as a treat to ourselves for having made it this far. The mandate on masks is back so we’ll have to wear masks inside in public places but I’m sure we’ll manage to enjoy ourselves. We intend to go to the museum which was refurbished some time ago. We haven’t been since then so it will be good to see what changes have been made. The forecast for the three days is 38C, 39C and 37C (100.4F, 102.2F, and 98.6F) so we’ll be looking air-conditioned places. I'd like to go to the zoo but it will be too hot. We’ll take some good books and our laptops so that we don’t get bored – and our cameras of course. With luck, I’ll be able to share photos from our mini-vacation. The photo is of the Perth skyline.

Be careful and drink plenty of water. We want you back, not in a hospital somewhere.

Don't worry. We're pretty lazy when it's really hot and not inclined to exert ourselves. But thank you for your concern.

Enjoy your short vacation, celebrating 50 years is an important goal to celebrate. We celebrated less than 3 weeks ago, we will plan a vacation when the days are less cold and Covid not as bad as now.

@JudyEv Our plan was to have a vacation starting the day of our wedding anniversary, staying the until New Year's Eve and to come back the first day of the year. The actual situation suggested to safely stay at home.

Imagine it is freezing in some countries, and so hot in your part of the world. In some Caribbean countries it is quite chilly in the morning and it will be like that for another month or so. Happy anniversary and l hope that you will be blessed with many more.

Yeah indeed a vacation for the family is very important to always maintain our own family harmony, I'm sure you really enjoy it with Vince. The weather there is also not too different from where I am very hot during the day.

@JudyEv They normally do if you just about pass a hint . We were in Nepal where I was officially given an assignment and somehow they came to know it was our Wedding anniversary - not actually milestone. Even then they welcomed us with a bouquet.

We are taking books, a pack of cards etc as we expect to spend a bit of time 'confined to quarters' as it were. I guess we could always hit the casino.

Thanks for the good wishes. I guess if we didn't have a certain amount of love, trust, patience, understanding and respect, we wouldn't still be together. However, I do lose a bit of patience sometimes!
