Chop off those balls

November was Martin's 5th birthday and the start of summer..........The gas heating got switched off and the evaporative cooling gets its first test of the year. We had a fun weekend at a great mate and mentor who has a farm up north (1200 Olive trees). Georgie got to hold down the lambs while rubber bands were put on their tails and.... scrotum's so they'd  fall off over the next six weeks. Boy did I feel for those buggers............ seeing the remnants of two lambs that foxes got hold of really brings home the reality of farming. PS. It is hard work!

Aaaaaaaaa Forgot, got a fish tank - The only pets allowed on the Neubauer premises ..... The saddest moment is the odd flushing of a dear departed fish....

Birthdays and open Skies

Mom pays a visit............2012

What happened ? For the life of me I cannot remember....... I (Karl) have been so under the pump at work I have no idea of what we did between Karl and Martin's birthday.......... Aaaaaaaaaaaaa now I remember. It was the Melbourne show..............and my Mom was here - The time flew.

PS. I've never known someone to take back 10kg of soap and chocolates.... Don't they have that stuff in South Africa ?

We can smell summer

Sold my motorcycle (yes there were tears) which equates to a smaller CC debt.
Mom (Gran) arrives next week and we're prepared for a full month of activities. The boys got their football medals for participation and are now looking forward to Milo cricket - Damn, I love the weather here and sunny winter BBQ's.

Company golf days and family crisis meetings while installing Karl Jnr's bed was the order of the week at Le' Neu Bauer res.

Things on the cards:

1. Melbourne Show

2. Mount Buller

3. Great Ocean Road

Australia rocks especially when you remember you're in the 80's.

Reward for just being there

Spring is just a few sleeps away

What a crazy month. Work is manic and so is the family so what do we do, we support the Saints. It's been cold, wet and dark (like an English summer) and we are all holding out for Spring.

The boys were quite cute when they hollered to passers by to buy our bushels of home grown parsley --> We Made $5 :-) Then it was time to make Biltong with a few beers.

Been quite busy in the garage doing my DIYd (d=disaster) and letting the boys let rip with their Nike golf clubs. (chewing up my bloody lawn) PS. The missus takes her frustrations out on the drums.....We all wish she would use the damn headphones.

Football and Night Golfing

Mid Winter

What the hell do you do in winter ? It's a freezing 14 degrees and the darn water keeps falling from the sky, who would have thought? Now, what to do - ? Time for a boat show to see what Dad will buy for summer (not that I can afford it or anything) and back for some 5.1 BluRay entertainment and DJ Mix.

Our garden is coming on (things actually grow here in winter) and evenings are fire filled with marshmallows.
