Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 67 - FINALLY made it to Melbourne at 2pm

We got to the airport at 10am for our 11 am flight only to find it delayed till 12. Yes another delay! For a completely different reason but after last night's fiasco, I was NOT happy.

Worse part of it all was that it was Steve's mum's 80th birthday weekend and he was missing out on special time with her.

Anyway we used some of the vouchers from last night to buy muffins, coffee and Boost juice and made the best of things in the food court till our flight FINALLY left at 12.20pm or so.

Carolyn picked us up and whooshed us home and fed us YUMMY ham/cheese rolls before we headed to Steve's mum and dad's for afternoon tea and a chat about their recent holiday to Walhalla in eastern Victoria.

Then it was briefly home and then out to dinner at a nearby Italian restaurant with Carolyn (Ric wasn't well) and Steve's mum and dad which was wonderful and some special time with his family.

That lovely night went a long way to salvaging the day.
