OVERDUE ACCOUNT!!!!!




Ok so maybe it hasn't been that long(not as far between as some of you post-I wont mention any names but ALL OF YOU!). Life here seems to be simultaneously busy and boring! I guess we are busy doing boring stuff that has to be done! On Sunday it was 12 years since our darling Toryanna poked her brainy little head into the world. And most days I don't even want to put her back!


Her soccer team has gone through another level to the "Grand Final" or superbowl if you will, so it will be pretty exciting.
Both girls shone in the Uni exams again this year we walked away with a few distinctions!
Sekaiyas netball team lost by one point unfortunately but it was a great game (she scored most the goals), there, is that enough parental boasting for one day!
Looking forward to getting the garden going again( I guess I will have to update that blog as well). The bulbs are coming up, however the ones that fell victim to the game of "chasers, catchers and something else" when we had visitors are looking a bit...sad.... no make that looking a lot dead! We are heading over to the beach tomorrow at moon rise to view the lunar eclipse, with the possibility of a wine/beer or 2.
We are now the proud owners of a piano and electric guitar and amp. (what we were drinking when we agreed to this I don't know), but both come with earphones!


I would like to say how glad I am that the rain has stopped but that may make it start again so I won't. Nearly went for a swim in the bay today it was 26C here, but somehow and we were swimming in September last year, so it won't be long now! And the sun is poking its head out a bit earlier so I am getting to see it rise a bit more.

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.
