Jack's Team - Back Together

Jack's team of last season had wanted to continue this season but some administrative hitches caused complications.  All sorted now and they are back to their winning ways with a good game today.

Cooper's New Team

We saw Cooper with his new team for the first time this season.  It is a tight little team although most have not played together previously.  Their very young Coach keeps the team together and enjoying the game. They crushed the opposition today.

Wrecking Continues

Some of the wood was taken from the old house today for recycling.  It is a great pity that more cannot be used.

Internal accommodation is now becoming more problematic.

Cool Snap

The warm dry weather suddenly came to an end a couple of days ago with about 80mm of rain over two days.  This morning, the surroundings were still showing the hail that had fallen last night.

Wrecking Starts

Unit 1 is looking a little the worse for wear after a number of gentlemen with wrecking bars and large hammers visited with the intention of giving the old asbestos sheeting a new home.

Happy Birthday Cathy

The Melbourne Cup weekend is always a pseudo long weekend.  The schools that do run on the Monday usually run a restricted program so Lisa and Mark ran a family barbeque that provided the opportunity for a birthday dinner for Cathy.  A very relaxed evening.

Satisfactory Saturday

The pergola had been standing without love or attention for about 15 years so it was about time for some care.  After cleaning, filling a few holes and painting it has scrubbed up well.  The next step in attending to the patio will be the installation of the watering system for the plants being held for the new build.

Halloween

Jack and Lachlan are ready for a big (sugar filled) night.

Cooper missed out because he headed off to camp today but he did not seem too upset.

Holly's Birthday Lunch

It was so long ago that we have almost forgotten Holly's Birthday but we finally managed to organise a celebratory lunch.  What better than calamari with ice-cream to follow. Hunger was a non issue for the rest of the afternoon.

Hollly - Netball

We watched Holly for the first time this season and the team has really developed.  The opposing team had a number of very tall players but the girls proved themselves a little more nimble eventually winning the game. Holly worked well and showed herself as a very able defender.

 Holly was off in the third quarter and was able to cast a critical eye over the match with the Coach and Assistant Coach.
