School Christmas Carols

Christmas again! Boys had their Christmas concert at their new school. It was great seeing all the kids perform, and watching how they play the recorder.... or not in some instances :-) At least it looks like they enjoyed themselves whilst Mum and Dad sat on the hard ground slowly loosing feeling in the lower limbs. The boys have even brought home a few moves which they are beginning to build upon, watch out Justin!

PS. Santa has a small problem I think.

Martin's Birthday 2014

Martin turns 7, poor guy wasn't feeling that well on the day, and he had school, so we celebrated again on the weekend. They have moved schools and are enjoying the new one very much, bringing home a few surprise talents we weren't expecting :-)

The weather is finally warming up enough to get a slip and slide...the first of many for the summer. Plus, the veggie patch has got a life of its own, thanks to Seasol, I don't ever have to buy herbs again... anyone for tabouleh salad!



Happy birthday Marti

GoPro

Just got a GoPro 3+ Silver from a mate (thanks Tom) and I decided to test it out this weekend. It was time to break in the boat for her first voyage since Winter, so the GoPro came with. While happy with the video (shot in 720p-60) the camera while acceptable is does not hold a candle to a good point-and-shoot, not to mention I had to crop to 3:2. Time to get all the attachments to look like a right old plonker.



Keep living the dream till it ends

Apollo Bay

The weather couldn't have been better for our trip to Apollo Bay. Sunny blue skies allowed for some cycling along the beach and even a quick dip in the sea, even though the water was freezing.

The drive from our hotel to the Twelve Apostles was well worth it, what a break-taking view. The drive back included a detour to Apostle Whey Cheese, where I discovered one of the best blue cheeses I've tasted in a long time and we also stopped at Gorge Chocolates....especially for Granny!

What a great long weekend, only marred by an hour delay as we hit the city, damn cyclists!
