big news from the capital

Hi all, by now most of you have heard that our beautiful, clever Lucy has been accepted on early offer into pharmacy at Charles Sturt Uni at Wagga. We are very proud and I even shed a few tears on learning the news! Kate I need to bring my seniors work and enter marks and work via the internet as they are due at the end of the week. I will find the time. I am trying to finish my juniors before Friday but have so much on I think I'm going to have to pull a late night!!
Bye for now, Annie

greetings not from the south coast

Hi all,
Yep that sounds like enough excitement for both of us!! Where were the crocs-cause you would have fed half a family Mart.
Im still hanging with the olds, learning new torture treatments for dad, everything we see the physio.
Dad,s tomatoes are looking good, next some lettuce and beetroot, and he will be a real garden farmer.
No time to write and rest, next lot of torture just minutes away.
Annie, dont bring too much work to do, because this carer gig is full time.
Off to dry his toes...
Love to you all, Zak

Swimming with the Gaiters

Well Zak if you want some excitment you could always come fishing with me. Chappie and I went out to the mouth of the Adelaide River yesterday (sunday) for a day of fishing. We weren't doing so well but some mates of ours in another boat had caught about eight barra and after keeping the first one had been throwing the others back. Anyway the next one they caught they gave to us. Whilst in the process of bleeding it over the side of the boat I managed to drop it and then in the process of trying to grab it before it sank I fell overboard. Lost my prescription sunglasses. Almost lost my $500 rod and reel. Then I had to ask Chappie to stop laughing so he could get me back in the boat. I think I need Claire back here to look after me.
Sorry Old Man...no photos

Cheers
Marty

greetings not from the south coast

Hi all,
Well Ive been up with the olds for the last week. A quiet Friday afternoon- scrabble to the back of me, and golf and races to the front. The Snake Gully cup is just about to start!!
Scrabble was invented by Alfred Mosher Butts in 1938.
There are 124 2 letter words in the english language.
The amazing facts that I never knew before.
A little bit of Banjo Patterson poetry at lunch.
Oh My god I think the favourite Morosi is going to win-yep No 7 has it!!
So can anyone beat that for an exciting Friday arvo?
Love to you all, Zak
