1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: New Jersey and Amanda gam Nation Well, I, well, you

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: did all those crazy things. I went to the South Coast,

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: which was lovely. You had perfect weather, the South Coast crisp,

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 1: not windy blue skies. It was just gorgeous. And my

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: brother came down and hung out with us down there

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: for a while, and then I went up to Brisbane

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: where my brother lives, to see my dad. Now Dad

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: is ninety and he's just started some treatment for something

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: he's been This is the way to age. He had

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: never been to hospital in his life before he turned

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: eighty nine. Wow, and now he's at the age where

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: things are just starting to go a bit. This, this, this, this,

13
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: and the first time we went to hospital at eighty nine,

14
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: he said, oh my god, this is horrible being in hospital.

15
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: And the rest of the family, Cameron and I have

16
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: been in a million times. He said, well, this is

17
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: what hospital in his dad, that's what hospital is. He's

18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: got little bits of dementia's memory starting to go. But

19
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: he's quite remarkable and it was really important to me

20
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: that my sons catch up with him. We saw him

21
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: at Christmas. But six months in a ninety year old's

22
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: life is a long time. And also the always were

23
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: on university holidays. I thought, you know, I can fly

24
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: up and down and see Dad when I need to.

25
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: They won't always get that chance, so it was fantastic.

26
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: It was so important for me for Dad to see

27
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: my my husband, my son's as adults. Yes, and so

28
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: you know Jack's twenty one, limbs twenty three. They hung

29
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: out with him. It was just fantastic. It meant so

30
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: much to me. And when I used to go to

31
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: Brisbane to visit my grandparents, my grandpa, I'd always say

32
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 1: to him, don't let anything happen before I come back.

33
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: Don't anything happen to you before I get to see

34
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,639
Speaker 1: you again. And he'd say to me, I can't promise

35
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: you that, sweetheart, and he lean out from his house

36
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: and he waves, we drive around the corner, and now

37
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: my dad does that. He leans out as we drive

38
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: around the corner, and I said to him, don't let

39
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: anything happened to you before I come back.

40
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: Oh, that's sweet.

41
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: And you know it's hard because I you know, I

42
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: guess I'm a flight away, an easy flight, sure, but

43
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: not seeing him as often as I'd like. So it

44
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: was just wonderful to hang out with him, and it

45
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: meant a lot to me, and I was so pleased

46
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: that the boys got to hang out with him, and

47
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: I ate and drank too much with my brother, as

48
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: I usually do. So it was time for me to

49
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: come back to work. I haven't got on the scales

50
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to raw dog anything.

51
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: And did you bring me back fridge Peg Brisbane.

52
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: Well it's funny because when the minute we landed in Brisbane,

53
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: we were at a shop and Jack said I might

54
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: need to get a toothbrush, and Lim said, yeah, me too.

55
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: Liam I'd said to them I'm packing. I'm going to

56
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: put my suitcase through the what's it called through the luggage?

57
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: Ye don't have to have hand luggage. I'm going to

58
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: check it in. So Liam did the same with his bag.

59
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: Jack turns up at the airport having packed a second before,

60
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: with this tiny, tiny little backpack that said Jack Oliver

61
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: six A. He said, it's all find.

62
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: It's got Thomas the tankins pretty much.

63
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: So that's what he packed, and without a toothbrush. So

64
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: we went to the chemist. I went to this gift

65
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: shop and I said, is there a chemist? We just

66
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: need some toothbrush. So we've got some up the back.

67
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: I paid forty two dollars for two toothbrushes that had

68
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: these really weird rude saying ginger viders can move off

69
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: and whatever. The only ones we could find, but at

70
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: least he could put it in his backpack.

71
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: Tooth bread this statement toothbrush as.

72
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: A comedic statement. That's what I'm going to non flossing

73
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: Hurls said another one.

74
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: Because in Canada, all those junkie gift shops, there's all

75
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 2: those things that you can buy crap like that with

76
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: those quirky gifts. You know, as I said, the aforementioned

77
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 2: save a tree, eat a bee.

78
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna come up.

79
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: That's what we're going to do next, come up with
