Hi all my Thermomix friends who are only 2 hours drive away, and who I was so looking forward to meeting tomorrow. But unfortunately I have just come home from the hospital after a 5 hour wait with my 8 year old son who happen to injure his ankle at my 2 year old nieces birthday party. His poor ankle was so swollen that the X-rays didn't show the extent of the damage. Poor think is in a lot of pain. He has a back slab plaster on for the next week until we head back to the orthopedic clinic to have another X-ray.
So my trip to Hobart is not going to happen 😢😢😢😢
Please pass on my apologies to everyone. And have a drink for me (or two or three)
It's now 1.47am and I better get some sleep.

That's bad news, Mandy.  Hope your son's ankle is OK and nothing is broken.  I know you will be sadly missed in Hobart.

Good morning Hobart.

And thank you all who made my 71st birthday so memorable and special. Your generosity,  thoughts and messages are very much appreciated and humbling.
It was an amazing day spent with my forum family.

Thanks guys. Very sad right now cause my alarm has gone off to get ready to go to Hobart (I forgot to turn it off) 😩

Here is poor Thomas's Ankle. It puffed up like this straight away after the injury.

Last night  I received this email from Ellis the waiter from  t42,

"Hello to my favourite termomix team. Thanks for a fun night last night, was a pleasure serving you all! I hope you enjoyed Frogmore Creek and the rest of your trip in Hobart and surroundings. Don't cause to much trouble. Hope to see you all some other time! Ellis (t42 waiter)"

Dede, was so looking forward to catching up. So very sorry for the poor little man.  Hope he is ok.
The waiter at t42 was most generous in how he responder to our fun.  He also brought the main chef from the kitchen to talk to us.  They have a TMX in the kitchen and he has one at home.
We are missing our TMX friends who would have liked to join us,  including those OS.
The food at Frogmore Creek was amazing and would strongly recommend it to everyone it was imaginative and served with flourished.
Ral and I have travelled with many groups , but never with a group so determined to have fun and enjoy each other's company.  The generosity of spirit that is characteristic of the Forum is alive and well here in Hobart.
Michel,  Thankyou for your good thoughts.

Great photos everyone, it looks and sounds like you having a wonderful time. Hobart is such a beautiful city.

Gert happy birthday for yesterday. How lovely of the waiter to send the email, you must have all been a pleasure to have in the restaurant.

Mandi, so sorry to hear about your sons ankle, it looks like it would be very painful.

Thanks wonder and CC. It was supposed to be kept quiet by Judy but obviously she cannot be trusted!  ;D

CC you are being talked about and missed as are other members who would have loved to be here and are unable to join the fun and it has been such fun.

I do believe  that we have all decided that Melbourne will be the next  venue for our Forum Fest so start saving and  planning. Mate the for our 5th Sydney!!

Thinking caps on for a great day trip and hopefully  we will require a big bus. Victoria markets anyone?  Shopping anyone?  Maybe a play or concert?  Anyone in the hotel business.

Very happy birthday wishes, Gert, so glad you had a special day yesterday.

So sorry I couldn't be down there with you, but off to Hervey Bay next weekend and couldn't take two weekends in succession off.

Enjoy your day today, everyone
