Cooper's Book Arrives

 As with all the grandchildren, we produce a book for their 18th birthday to celebrate the times we have shared with them.  Cooper's book arrived earlier than expected so we were able to give it to him today.

Ebony Graduates

 Ebony completed her degree last year and is now well into her Houours Year but she had her Graduation Ceremony this week.

Clear Skies

 We have had cloudy wet conditions for some time now so it was great to see a break with clear skies and have a chance to break out the telescope.  This time4 it was aimed at NGC_3372 in the Carina Nebula and I managed to get 3.5 hours of good data for this image.

Many Mothers Meet

 On Mothers' Day the family called over for afternoon tea.  It is a busy day for each family so it was good to see everyone.

Jack's Gallery Update

 Jack was quick off the mark to have his portrait updated in Granny's Gallery.

Too Early?

 While most of the family is sleeping peacefully, some more enthusiastic members are at the Gym.

Garden Guru

 Lisa has developed an interest in growing food - early stages but initial results are promising.

Cooper's Year 12 Jacket

 We had heard Cooper had a Year 12 Jacket but had never seen it.  He modeled it for us last night.  This was only the second time he had put it on - no wonder we had not seen it!

Jack Turns 20

 While we are having a family celebration on Sunday, Last night we had dinner with Jack and his family to mark the actual birthday.

Cousins Lunch

 Claire and her cousins, Glenda from Cohuna and Valerie from Trafalgar had one of their occasional catchups yesterday.  They meetup at Southern Cross Station as the VLine trains and the country buses all terminate there.

They have lunch in a very pleasant pub across from the station and on this occasion, Barry and I were invited along for the ride.

Following the Looong Lunch, it's not far back to the station to wend our various ways home.
