Willows

Dear Family and Friends

Since Gem Fest there has been less and less people around. People are calling in to say farewell and the two caravan parks have more people leaving now than coming in and most people are saying that they will be back again next year.

At the moment there is a nasty flue bug going around and some people who have left are taking it home with them. Ricky and Sharon both have it. Ricky got it first followed by Sharon and they have both been very sick. So sick that this weekend they are not going near the Rec Club. No one went on Friday night and only a small number went last night and I think only a few will go tonight. So far Ken and I are well but we are staying home as we don't want to get it if we can possibly avoid it.

Word has it that this flue is quite widespread stretching from Rockhamton through to Longreach. There is talk of it being called the 100 day cough. It's not nice and people are getting really sick really quickly so we are going into Sapphire on Tuesday to have flue injections.

Other than that not much is happening so I will say goodbye for now.

Love to one and all.
