Speaking of Old Photos ...

As the work of digitising old photos goes on, it throws up some interesting images. This is from December 1995.

And the Work Goes On

The task of digitising decades of photos seems never ending.  However we are now up to 1995/96 so progress has been made!
 A long cold winter has meant the garden maintenance has fallen a bit behind so a couple of clear days should see improvements there.

Adam's Birthday

We had the family dinner to mark the fact that Adam had carved another notch in the time line
We had a great dinner with a surprise menu (Lamb Roast and Apple Rolly Polly) and we also had a surprise guest.  Lachlan brought Tam from kinder to share in the celebrations.

Basketball - Patrick

Events had conspired to prevent us from seeing Pat play for some time but we caught up with his team today.  Things have changed a lot since we saw him last.  Patrick is now a major force in the team scoring 10 of their 22 points today and being the go-to player in tight situations.  The boys only lost by 2 points in a very exciting game.

Basketball - James

After a week with a bad dose of Flu, James was back on the court today.  We were unable to stay to the end but they were doing well when we left.

Pat's Pix

Patrick has been working on his photographic skills and is developing fast.  I like this one from this afternoon's session.

And the Winner Is .... Justin!

Justin was nominated for a Father's Day Prize with the "Good Guys" retail chain and has come home a winner!
Not only did he get a decent cheque but he also collected a huge range of electrical and white goods. There was a fridge, an electric BBQ, tablet, smart watches, smartphone, kitchen appliances, a 50" smart TV and more. What a day!

Ramp in Action

Lisa and Justin had a new landing installed over the weekend to provide a smoother front entry.  The concrete block has been covered and there is now an easy ramp access as well.  Lachlan is very proud of the new installation.

The Grand Final

The Jets Under 13 played in the Grand Final on Sunday.  James had been sick for a week so was in a bit of trouble on the day however he did manage a little time on the oval.
Unfortunately North Ringwood proved too strong on the day and although the Jets lost, they put on a much stronger performance than on their last meeting.  A win was possible even up to the last quarter.  At the conclusion, the end of a good season was marked with a medal presentation.  It was sad for James he was so ill on the day but he really has had a good season.
