An Interview

This afternoon I took a couple of photos that may or may not be used in an article for the next ALFA magazine. I think I captured him.

Meg and I

Meg and I went to the Bunyas last weekend. We took a thermos, a blanket, some snacks, pillows and books......and had a really nice couple of hours up there. I tried to get her to go walking but when she's got her nose buried in a book there's no budging her. I went off and did the 4km short circuit.

This is how I left her when I set off on my walk....head buried in a book, oblivious to anything around her!

This is where I want to own a house one day.

This is how I found her when I got back from my walk....nose still buried in a book - and with a jumper on!

The week flew by. Drew is settling back in, trying to get his body clock back on Australian time. He's spent 12 months with a totally different sleeping and waking pattern so it will take a little while to re-adjust. He has caught up with friends, both at Big Day Out on the Gold Coast last weekend and on Australia Day.

Meg worked from D this week and heads back to Tba tomorrow (we will all head down as young Harry will be christened).

Meg painted her nails to celebrate Aus Day. She has more bottles of nail polish than the Queen.

Gibbo flew to Sydney on Friday for a Council meeting this morning; he arrived back home tonight. Meg and some friends have gone to an engagement party just down the road; Drew is in town playing pool. He's the designated driver tonight so will pick his sister and friends up on the way home. How times change hey?

Back Again

This is the longest I've gone between posts - a whole week!!

These are the two signs that I managed to leave behind when we went to pick up Drew - the first one I left at home and the second one (that Meg rushed around to buy the supplies for before we picked her up) I left in the car and had to run back to retrieve!

There are some interesting stamps in Drew's passport - this is the all important document that allowed him into Canada way back in January last year. The forms to get this entry visa were delayed for a week in Toowoomba after the horrible flooding of 2011.

Chris and The Overland

While the anticipation and excitement of Drew's return distracted us all, Chris quietly went away with his Dad and walked The Overland Track in Tasmania. They managed it in four days; it was challenging but not overly so. Even though they went prepared with a tent they only had to use it once, on the last night at Lake St. Clair; they managed to find room in the public huts along the rest of the Track. The first day was the hardest; the best part was making it to Narcissus Hut on Day 4.
