Hi Again,
We hope you all had a great Australia Day. We celebrated on the 29th and followed up the next day with an Australia Day Skate. Back home preparations for the day generally include mowing the grass before everyone turns up - over here it is a little different but achieves the same aim.
Our friends all turned up ready to party and did themselves proud. Note Donna and Mike with appropriate headwear.
A top time was had by all and just like Australia, after a period of time the groups separated with the boys plus Barb staying in the kitchen to talk men's stuff and,
the girls moving to the sunroom to talk football or something similar.
At some stage during the evening a question was asked about Australia and with the only map to hand being a mouse pad, a geography lesson ensued and now everyone knows where Darwin is.
It was decided during the evening that we would enjoy the outdoors the next day with a skate or a walk in the snow. Kathy, Debbie and Bev all rugged up and kitted out with snowshoes ready to head off into the wilderness.
A top time was had by all and many forgotten muscles made their prescence known the following day.
We would like to finish this post with a great pic of our lovely next door neighbours Suzanne, James and young Evan.
Until next time stay safe and well.
Cheers Ross and Bev
Hi Bev & Ross,
ReplyDeleteI have just checked out your latest post. Australia Day passed in a blur for Kim & I. I spent the whole day catching up with household chores. working full time doing 10 hour plus days & extra on the weekends has to stop!
Still having huge La Nina weather with the passing of Cyclone Yasi and natural bush fires in WA. Here in Jerra we still are getting some effects from the northern weather patterns. It has been the strangest summer - quite monsoonal for this part of the world. Conversely North America getting huge snow dumps.
Plans for visiting Canada in late August & early September are in still in progress.
Other than this I am still awaiting laundry renovations.
