“There are times when parenthood is nothing but feeding the mouth that bites you!”
A happy belated birthday to Harold Bingley of Tomakin! Harold is at home recuperating from an operation on his knee, no doubt being spoiled by all the women in his life.

Cross Central Church will hold a very interesting service this Sunday with youth members running the entire service. It will be interesting to see if any of them enjoy it so much that they pursue service to the church and the community as a career.

Did you know that we are to get a pharmacy and a new doctor’s surgery at the Malua Bay shops? Also, the new IGA at Tomakin is due to open, with a restaurant, at the end of August.

Karen McIntosh hosted a fun-filled party last weekend for her gorgeous friend Tanya Brooks who turned 41 . . . or was that 21? Friends enjoyed a great night with fine food and frolicking!

We mentioned the fabulous new children’s park in Jack Buckley Park at Tomakin last week and this week two more opened. One at Riverside Park, in time for the Moruya Markets, and one in Evans St, Tuross Head. Thanks, lads, from the Eurobodalla Shire, they all look great and will be well used.

Barb and Bruce Smith of Moruya are home after a few weeks away as “grey nomads”. They enjoyed a great trip to the Alice and would recommend hitting the trail to all.

The Gossip Gals enjoyed a night out at Bay Theatre Players’ latest offering, Season’s Greetings. The play started slowly with us getting to know each of the characters but by the end of the first half, we were laughing hysterically! Greed, Envy, Lust and Gluttony all play their parts as do several small Christmas toys with a mind of their own. The timing in some sequences was splendid and as for the backdrop . . . we want to live in that house.

Mrs Farrington-Smyth is still enjoying the Bay and has no plans for another overseas trip in the near future. She has, however, taken up jogging and can be seen every morning on Beach Rd, on her way into town for a latte. She can be identified by her bright pink headband, reminiscent of Olivia Newton John’s fashion in Physical.
