Mandy

There's 2 Mandy's in the family. I've only just noticed. She's always been Amanda to me. I've met her like... 4 times. My BIL's tea ceremony. My BIL's wedding dinner. My tea ceremony. My wedding dinner.

And we're brought together again this year with this funeral.

This is Amanda, daughter of Edward (adopted) son of the deceased, sister of Fabian in KK uni now, cousin of Sydney.

The 3 of us, (me Sydney and Mandy) will probably be banned from the next funeral. We sat together. Amanda and father, Edward, arrived from Slim River on Friday night. Sydney and parents, arrived on Saturday afternoon.

It's a small tight family.

Uncle Edward has 3 younger brothers, Pat, Andrew and Albert. Uncle Pat, father of Sydney, is the funniest and craziest there is.

In fact, the family is so tight we're meeting up on Saturday night to do the family thing.

Just great. I'll try to blog Sydney next.
