OK...........just to let all of Kelpies fans know I spoke with her tonight and she is well and happy.
She has communicated with Simon and explained her current situation which made clear why she can't do the Xmas thing.
This week Kelpie and her family are moving house so she is busy packing and preparing. She is also very busy with her job. Even I don't get to see her much at the moment and she only lives 2 suburbs away. But she did say that when they have moved and settled into their new place they will have a house warming party. If it's as good as her birthday party it'll be a blast. I might suggest kareoke.........OMG!
She has been in contact with her sister too, which is great to hear!
Anyhow, I hope this has put your minds at ease.
Cheers, Bliss(of the PI class)
from us.
