My best friend and his wife were set to return to the US today. Unfortunately, she is terribly sick and in no condition to fly so they have changed their tickets to Friday! I am glad she will have time to recover.
It has been fantastic having them here [especially as volleyball has not featured as yet: I'm sorry your worthy excuses for evading the sport have not seen the light of the day ;-)] -- though I haven't seen a lot of them as they have been dashing around Sydney in a mad rush visiting as many relatives and friends as they can: he is quite a popular person who manages to keep in touch with everyone he has ever met. I will miss him when he heads back. There is always the internet and telephone, but there is nothing like face-to-face communication with your friends.
He has given me the address of a wonderful Iraqi restaurant near where I live, which I will visit frequently. He says the food is very similar to the wonderful restaurant we had many happy meals in near San Jose when I visited last year. I adore Middle Eastern food.
Speaking of food: it's lunch time! Tortellini today...YUM!
