NOT ANOTHER BLOG!!!!

Well, we are trying to post what is only a photo log of the girls and other bits and pieces of our lives. I know that it gets to be a bother to look at so many blogs (and to post them as well). I dont know how long this one will last just wanted to give it a try. The photos are mainly there for Grandma since I am horrible at sending hard copies (sorry Mom I do mean too), but any and all who have a spare moment are welcome to have a browse through them at your leisure, the day to day of our lives will continue to be posted here at the thirsty site!


Having said all that a fairly slow week here. Tory went off to camp(Her schools version of "singing river ranch"). Which made me recall how the Eberhardt woman bounced(not the same as when she was shakin those 'simmons down)and Brian Brazzell and I only survived the nature hike because our Mom's were there , everyone else in our group were dead ducks. This photo too is for Mom. It is of the shelves I made that I told you about "Inca Gold" not bad for only my second project. The hand plane below is what I found at the country markets for only $30 not bad now Boris doesnt have to bring his tools home each week he can borrow mine (I got my own battery drill for mothers day not long ago).


ps Karl,
the Eberhardt woman had you beat in the Keg on Legs category she was a barrell sittin' atop a couple of toothpicks!

Jesus H. Christ, first you turn into Martha Stewart, now Bob FN' Villa. What's next? Impressive. Why do you have to bring up Eberhardt. Those memories were supressed.

The Lucky Tent*

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip.... Our  adventure as part of the "Mooral Creek 9" Ok let's go camping at Mooral Creek for Fish's 50th  sounds good, may rain (always does when we camp) no big deal. Early departure from home Sat a.m. drop girls at Pete and Kylies place in Newcastle, take Pete with us and head for the countryside outside Wingham.  Tent erected and ready to go (other than being wet from the rain pouring in as we set up). and the day progressed (or perhaps digressed): the chair was just not made to hold 3 people! And the speech that set the wheels of fate turning.....                                            Sunday Morning View from the verandah at breakfast  Sunday saw the departure...

We pick up in the life of our hero where we last left him. The mother Gaforady dragon is poised to dive and tear the unconscious Logorian into food for her new hatchling (the last of this regal line). Can the young prince wake and save himself? He is the last hope for the kingdom of Coochlia, and all hope lies upon him to befriend the remaining dragons as much needed allies in the war against the Trougopians. Suddenly up over the edge of the nest rises the red head of.... OOPS sorry bout that wrong story. Right now where were we... ah yes July, and the winter school break.  All has been good here except the wind, and it has not been good. Indeed it has been the polar opposite of good. Fortunately we only lost power once for 3-4 hours, there are some now going on their fourth day in the dark.  Parts of our lovely Shoalhaven were actually declared a National Disaster Area (that makes 2 we have been in during the past month- see previous post). This is the "Sydney 43" th...

On the Banks of Plum Creek

Well, it was a successful fishing day. Sekaiya caught a 3 inch whiting, Tory had a good time, and I got in several hours of practise in the untangling of line, retying of hooks, and baiting of these same hooks. Upside being that it was enthusiastically enjoyed rather than the old "I'm bored, when can we go home?" so perhaps we can now do this on a more regular basis. School holidays finish with the weekend so back to the grindstone for another 9 weeks. I have a bit of work happening,hopefully I will get a bit more as well. We had our first "burning off" fire today with many more to come. Great winter sport: lighting a fire, throwing in a damper ,(we wrap ours securely in foil and cook it in ashes/coals) opening a beer and standing around, with the occassional shovel and/or raking activity taking place! There was no damper today, but hopefully with the next lot of fires. There are still a gazillion sticks to get into piles yet.
