news from the capital

Hi all. Have just spent a great week in cunj! It's been great that ACT hols are a week later than NSW's Weather was glorious, mid 20's every day, and no-one on the beach but us. Yesterday I was the only person floating in the lake at 3pm. Spent four hours on the beach. The girls bought two of their friends with them. Lucy did a brilliant job driving down and back. she drove all the way. She went really well down the mountain, it's such a horrible road the king's highway. Luckily not much traffic on the way down. A lot coming in the other direction today, as the long weekend is this weekend. Back to school on tuesday and straight into musical preparation, as the musical is on next term in week 2. busy, busy! I also have two bands to prepare for the eisteddfodd (is that the correct spelling, Moo) in May. See you all in June at Dad's 80th. Kate if you need at hand with anything give me a yell. love Annie

Thank god someone's out there!!
Have just been looking at old photos of K&Js wedding etc. Found the one of the elephant and dad playing golf. What does everyone think of using it as an invitation-let me know, or any other ideas. Times ticking. The one from Masters games in Alice springs that was in the local paper is pretty good as well, but I m not keen on the optus on the tshirt.
Moo I cant bear it if you cant fly and we cant do our road trip. We need to book in a night stay in Maclean. Can you tell me your definite stay overs, so I can organize itinerary.
Mum just bet me at two games of scrabble!
I havent started the third book of Steig Larsson, as Ive now got the bloody 4th book of twilght-I wish I could speed read.
Nearly 2pm, time for lunch-such a time warp at the olds place sometimes.
Cheers Kate

Greetings! I'm here Kate, checking daily to see what everyone is up to.
Also keeping an eye on the Icelandic volcano to see if I will be able to fly in three weeks and three days. Watch this space!
We have been enjoying fabulous Spring weather. giving us the opportunity to cut Cynthia's lawn as well as ours.
I have read the whole Steig Larson triology in the last few weeks. It is lovely to sit in the front garden being warmed by the afternoon sun. What a fabulous series. It is a great shame he is no longer alive to write more.
Stuart, our pub landlord passed away last week. Gail is devastated but getting on with things. She is fortunate to have close relatives who are mucking in to keep the pub open. The funeral is next Monday.
We are doing well in our darts - played seven won four. We were third on the table before the last game (in which we beat the team on top of the table 6-5).
Heading to Builth Wells this weekend for a craft show at the showground. It's called Wonderwool Wales which is a great play on words. Check out the website. We will take the van and stay overnight probably. The weather is supposed to stay fine so should be a good weekend.
Not a great deal happening. Worked three days last week and only one so far this week. it's not so bad to have no work when the weather is good.
May get one more post from me before my departure.
Love to All, Moo xxxxxx

Is there anybody out there??
Too busy?
Are sunsets more amazing this time of year?? different/changing light. Amazing clouds. The last two mornings have had the most amazing sunrises. The tide has been low early morning so I make the most of it. Warm enough for just shorts and singlet, and the water has been so calm lately,(unlucky for the surfers) and still very warm. Most mornings now, i am the only one on the beach, it is awesome. Today I shared it with an old fisherman, with a broken front tooth. I hadnt seen him before. Only one bite in an hour, but he wasnt too perturbed.
The lucky mob from canberra are sure to be enjoying brilliant weather at Cunj this week.
Almost finished the third book in the Twilight series Lucy, then I can start on the third book in Steig Larsson's trilogy-The girl who kicked the hornets nest.
Hooray for the long weekend-three days in the garden!! Mr Yates would be proud.
Love Zak

Hi All,
Weather is looking divine for the weekend-water is still about 20degrees!! Hasi has pulled out more of the kitchen, and we finally have a new front door with a beautiful ocean godess handle-Mart and Claire will know the one. I love it when Hasi is on holidays as so many projects get done. And you can get the tradies in as well.
Next week the door I picked up off the cleanup, stripped and lacquered ,goes into the bathroom at long last.
I made a mould for my own handmade tiles for the kitchen last night, will start pumping out some tiles next thursday!!Thats the news. Love to you all, Zak

Hi All
Just wanted to say "hi" as it's been a while since I posted. Haven't really got any news to report. We had a bit of snow yesterday - didn't stick, but it was pretty watching it fall.
We have hung two bird boxes in our garden and I am waiting to see if they will have any residents.
Have been getting a bit of work - need to boost the coffers before I run away to Australia for five weeks!
Summer league has started in the darts. I am team captain this season. Currently we are won two lost two.Hopefully we will win more as we go on.
Really can't think of anything to tell you so won't bore you any longer.
Hope everyone is well and happy. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
Love Moo xxxxxx
