Friday the 13th

I'm not superstitious but boy, today was a truly shit day. Mind you, not as bad as the the kid in charge of North Korea. Talk about loosing face. Like to see how he explains this little mishap to his starving devotees. And finally, a nice pic to end with.

Ghost Rings

Last night was my last lesson with my first violin teacher here in Melbourne. After not touching a violin since i was 15 in the 19 months i had been recieving lessons i have managed to pass grade one with distinction and grade two with honours. This year i hope to take grade three. Now i'm learning with Whitehorse Music. Lets see where this leads to.

Weather bloody cold at night but sunny in the day.

Tonight we go see Nathan play with the school band.

Just another day on earth...

Well, we saw mom(grandma) off yesterday after spending a day darting here and there, to bunnings and mitre 10 and 2 parks. A nice day but too sad for it to be a good day. Enjoyed a pizza at the new place in St Andrews before heading off to the airport. A break from the sombre mood came when we remembered the panic of the taxi ride to the airport to catch our Townsville flight and the panix during the taxi flight coming back home. Saying goodbye is the hardest thing to bare. Poor Jade cried all the way back home.

A busy day at work which was prbarbly a good thing to keep my mind occupied. At home followed moms flight on a tracker and just recieved an sms from mom saying she had just landed. So weird to think yesterday she was here having a pizza and now shes back in the uk. Many many good memories, videos and photos.

Come back soon mom. Missing you heaps.

Oh Buster!

Got up this morning to discover no Buster on the end of his chain but peacefully asleep on his bed outside the front door. Relief. The crazy mut managed to free himself from his collar and then eat it. All that was left were the buckle and name tag.

Moms Coming Back

Heavenly blog, its been a while since my last posting. Infact not since leaving Townsville. On the journey back home a bush fire warning. Here we go again. Stressed going to the airport and now stress coming home from the airpirt. We told the driver to step on it as theres a fire in our aea. People were evacuating. He was a tad worried about driving into a potentially dangerous situation. Anyway the threat from Strathewan eventually passed but it was enough to remind us about the fear of bush fires abd spur us on to relocate.

Well, mom flew out to tassie a few days later to spend some time with aunty jan and today she arrives baxk to spend her final week with us, hoorah! So i'm just at eltham swimming pool waiting for jade to finish then its straight to the airport to get mom. Chicken wings tonight. Crap weather but thats ok.

Last Night In Townsville

Yesterday spent day in Charters Towers. Very nice old man gave us tour around the museum. Then of to maccas for luncnh the a drive to the lookout and stock exchange. Everywhere very green, love the drive, in the zone.

Today, packing, swim in campsite pool then a walk along the Strand and dinner at our face resturaunt, The Seaview Hotel. Awesome steaks though mom had hers reheated as it was cold. Then back to cabin and watched Graham Norton then Idiot Abroad with the bungees jumping and village tribe where every word began with 'N'. Cool evening.

Drinking last beer. Tomorrow home. Next day work.
