It's Spring tomorrow

Bloody hell, time flies. The boys are finished football season (loved it) and suddenly it's Spring.......... I took the boat for a service today (thanks Mom for paying) to get ready for Snapper Season and now we are just enjoying a few hours mucking about in the sun playing catch with the boys. Went for a bike ride as we live very close to a reserve with miles of tracks and the boys loved being dare-devils on their bicycles.... (dad is just waiting for them to say - Can I have a motorcycle....Mom says No!!!)

Have fun till you drop

The boys are having fun as usual (cough cough Karl Jnr camping it up :-))




Skate, dance and laugh

Star of the Week

Martin get his mandatory star of the week for being "positive". What ever happened to getting prizes/rewards when you actually do something meaningful or outstanding. So, now we reward people for merely existing and kids with raisin like brains believe they are super-achievers which translates into "Hi, I'm not very bright but I'd like to be the CEO at 24". I guess this is where parenting comes in but if parents are anything to go by today, we are in serious trouble.

On a lighter note, we made our first batch of olives from the tree. I (Georgie) have a feeling they are supposed to be prepared a different way as they are kalamata but I did them in a traditional method. I gave it a go and they turned out pretty well, but nobody trusts my recipe enough to eat them....maybe next year!





I'm a star

Easter Came Early

Coming soon................... Nope.......This month never happened.

Ground-Hog Day - 2013

Time for a few words....... 2013 has already been manic with the boys going back to school and summer being one of the best in years. Its Moomba again and like most things in Australia is just comes round again and again and again..... Even the bloody stalls are in the same place each year with the same carnies trying to fleece you..... Lucky enough we now live in the world where everyone's a winner so $10 at least assures you of some shitty 10c prize from our Chinese friends across the pond. Kids are happy but we are getting itchy feet. Punksatony Phil is telling me its going to be a LONG winter.
