Together 57 Years!!

 Claire and I met 57 years ago today in a restaurant in Kerang.  It was a first outing for the new teachers at Cohuna High School and there were too many men so one of the organisers called in Claire to address the imbalance.  The rest is history.

Jack's Team Goes Into The Finals

 Jack had a good day yesterday as his team had a good win for the end of the season.  They are now in the finals and Jack received the Coach's Award for his season.

Lachlan's Season Ends

 Lachlan's Basketball season ended yesterday.  While they did not make the finals, Lachlan's game improved out of sight during the season.  Coach Jack really had no option but to award him "Most Improved Player".

New Fence In Place

 It has been a while coming but the new boundary fence is in place.  Next job will be to get it painted but we are happy with the resultant changes to our garden space.

Fencing Has Commenced

 It has been a while coming but the fencer turned up today and removed (most of) the old fence in preparation for the new boundary.  It is going to make a significant difference to the look of the back yard so we are happy.

Lake House Progress

 The Lake House development continues at a rapid pace.  The sewage system is in and commissioned and the plumber has checked off all the water and gas fittings.  Mark has installed a roof window in the inside toilet and last weekend they managed to plaster the cavity.

The Joys Of Old Age

 My eyes have never been great and getting shingles in my left eye did not help one bit.  Unfortunately the resultant slow deterioration resulted in an ulcer rupturing my left eye.  The consequence was a night in the Eye and Ear Hospital as they applied glue to the eye to seal the wound.  Luckily the Hospital is near Parliament Station so getting to the followup checkups has not been too difficult.

Birthday Celebrations - Mitchell and Claire

 Brett and Cathy hosted a family gathering to celebrate both Mitchell and Claire's Birthdays.  As the family numbers grow, we can't all fit around a table so a more casual arrangement was put in place.  General opinion was that it was highly successful.

Lachlan Scores Again

 Lachlan's basketball team are not the strongest in the competition but they are getting better.  We were hopeful this week that they may get a win but they fell away in the second half.  Lachlan, on the other hand continues to improve and came away with a bunch of goals this week.

Sophie's New Wheels

 Sophie had a good day yesterday.  She had looked at some cars that she would like but was afraid that she was going to inherit the Amarok ute that Adam had been using.  So it was a complete surprise to her when on her way home from school she went to the Toyota dealer to pick up her new Corolla Hybrid that had been on order for some months.  It was her dream car!
