Last month of Summer (adjusted)

Wow, our best catch ever!
The weather was perfect, beautiful clear water with beautiful tasty fish, and Karli caught most of them, Flathead, Bream and Australian Salmon, a very tasty bunch. I had to stop and think a few times as it felt like I was away on some Caribbean island...what crystal clear water, a perfect day:)

Loom Band - FAD circa 2014

Loom Bands, who would have thought that birds chocking, chick strangling bands in varied colours sold in packs of 100 ($3 at today's pricing) would turn my boys into mindless necklace, bracelet and ring creating zombies!

Welcome 2014 - Work begins again

Its 2014, a new year...... and I've started a new job. Working reminds me how important it is to enjoy time off. The new job is great and I'm enjoying it while back on the other side of the city Georgie also has a new job (for the same company) and is now the facilities coordinator. 

January was dotted with a few warm weekends (where are you global warming) which is always a plus and welcomed by all. We took the boys down to Sorrento for the day to enjoy what Australia has to offer. The rest of the days are spend by the $65 pool at Che' Neubau.

Boys love water

2013 is Dead

December was a crazy month with me going back home for a few weeks to check up on our house and to change some basic details. Things in the UK are still a little bleak but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I also took the time to visit family and friends in Vienna....... 

It's now back to reality with me starting work on the 2nd and some clear goals defined..... While 2013 was a chore I'm confident that 2014 will bring a fresh perspective.

The boys are going great, both at school and at home, and love living in Australia...... Yes, their view of the world may be small but they are happy and for me, that's enough.

Late Update : Had my 31st birthday at Stillwater on the Mornington Peninsula.....



Christmas......................2013

Martin turns 6

What makes me smile every year is the fact we named him Martin after my hero Martin Gore……………….. He’s born in the year of the Golden Pig, on St Martins day and a poppy will always remind me of one of the happiest kids I have ever met.

Karl............... Well, he's' like Dad.. grumpy, questioning and full of ........;-)

PS Got a job................ Start Jan.. Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Holiday!
