A Day To Remember

It’s all happening in New South Wales – never mind the bushfires and tropical storms – Debbie made the tea tonight! We’re all in shock!

Dear Nelefans

Sorry for the lack of updates. Bandwidth, like water, is a little limited here. So is time, for that matter. We’ve been incredibly busy – rushing around like mad things. Lots to do and see. Today, though, it’s 38 degrees and we’re hiding inside (although I do have to venture out to pick the kids

No Gametime! Oh no!

There’s just too much to do! By the time it gets to ten o clock (when I normally have a spot of gametime) I’m ready for my bed. The children started school yesterday and had a great time – they’ve all made some new friends, which is a great load off our mind. If you

Kook!

Specially for MattS, this one 🙂 We went for an expedition to Chichester Dam today and there was a whole gang of kookaburras staking out the picnic area. Here’s one of them, perched on the litter bin as if to say “don’t even think of chucking that away – the scraps are MINE!”

Some Pics

Sunshine!

Woke up this morning to what sounded like fifty kookaburras having a comedy show in the yard. Starting to associate the sound with nice weather now – right enough, when I dragged myself out it’s glorious sunshine with the sky a deep cobalt blue as far as the eye can see. Got about a dozen

Roos!

Nobody tells you they come into the garden! Everywhere you look, they’re bouncing all over the place. Went in and registered with Medicare yesterday, which went fine and dandy. The rain has gone and the sun is out – hooray! Of course, I’m saying that now but it’ll be a different story in a week

Drip drip

Well, we did go to Newcastle for the soccer but it we chickened out – there was a torrential downpour. So, we bought some beer on the way home and watched it on the telly instead 🙂 Yesterday we drove to a tiny little out of the way place where one of our relatives’ band

No Kookaburras today.

It’s been raining overnight and it’s all good – there’s green everywhere and it shut the kookaburras up. Sent off my first job application yesterday and registered with a couple of agencies, so that’s the ball rolling. I also have a shot of a car for the weekend – looking to buy it from the

Squawk!

Kookaburras. Bane of my life. It would be less annoying if they didn’t sound so damned funny. Yeah, they wake us up every day, but they wake you up laughing so you can’t really complain. Anyway, there’s a thunderstorm rattling away at the moment. The land needs it too – Australia is in its third
