Big Thirsty Aussies

Hi to all who read of us here! Since last posting not a lot has actually happened. For which we are grateful. Yesterday saw us watching Sekaiya receive the "Youthwrite 2007" award in which she is published. Last weekends post gardening relaxation! We are slipping through what may very well be my most favourite time of year! The water is warmer than in the peak of summer, there is no Nor'easter a blowing and the beach is nearly deserted! not much to say I left all my words in the sand.......

This past week saw our numbers grow by one, as we welcomed with open arms and hearts full of love- Mojo! He is a juvenile Frill-Necked lizard. His cage mates were rather apathetic but they will come to accept him in their own time and fashion. Now back to catching up with our lives. Toryanna and Sekaiya both got off to a ripper of a start to the new school year. Our February was one of the wettest seen for ages. We recorded 292.5 ml rain on our veranda (11.5 in) This following a January fall of 107 ml (4.2in) The creek did manage to break the bank on the far side on a particularly heavy day. This made for great puddle jumping. We still managed a couple fantastic beach days as well, and Boris and girls made the best drip castle ever! Which brings us pretty much up to date with our happenings. Look to the WPHLOG in the near future as there are way to many photos to put on here so I will try to put up a lot of the better ones just for looking.

Hiya once again I will start off with a couple more pics from xmas then see where we go from there. I like the shot of the cousins. The "noses" After a couple of days at home we went up the hill to Aunty Jo's place. While there we went out to visit a great old place called Lockyersleigh. It is over 100 acres and it is 100 acres that even Pooh Bear would like. The Main House The old Stables The sheep outside the shearing shed Had lunch in Goulbourn and it was probably not the best experience ever. I would not recommend the hotel across from the station to my enemies I don't think. Mom got the feel for the bike as well. and a feel from a cowhand.... Aaahhhhh back to this! This was the view from most afternoon beers once back to the home front! The order of these next couple of days may be mixed up but that won't change how good they were. They were a couple of our day trips around our local area and there abouts. Woollongong where we walked along the lovely foreshor...

Well well well indeed! Wow over a month (nearly 2) has passed for which I apologize. Finally have the broadband back but fortunately nothing exciting has happened here so Bye! But seriously now what a full 2 months it has been. Well we got a Xmas tree (well it was exciting for us!) lets see, where to begin, well summer is upon us so have had ample opportunity to put canoe in the creek off the back yard. The girls like the new place as well. Next we had annual presentation night at the school and both girls came away with the Academic Achievement awards (which actually mead Tory Dux-or top of school but not politically correct to say so- best often only counts in sport) then Tory got all dolled up for her Yr 6 farewell dinner. This is a big thing here as you go straight to high school after yr 6. Then all the really good bits started happening like Christmas!!!! Yeah made even better by the visiting royalty of Strahlovnia! Putting out Santa's beer and lollies (sorry Michelle but he...
