Greetings from the south coast

Hi all, Well believe it or not, with 25 people in the FIFA world cup tipping competition, I am coming 2nd.Bloody amazing, because I am the only sibling who missed out on the sports gene. In fact I almost boycotted the whole thing after seeing Brazilians protesting in he streets for their rights to work and live in a decent safe manner. I know, you would end up boycotting the world, Australia included. Had a great day with jack and Fran at winter magic on the weekend. A lovely sunny balmy 14degree winter day and not a breath of wind. I was completely comfortable in my 4 layers of clothes. Fran danced a few kms before doing the big finale. She was great and was loving every minute of it. That woman has passion!! We celebrated the solstice. That means summer is on its way!! Love to you all Zak .

greetings from the sout coast

Hi all, Yes its early days for FIFA, world cup, but I am currently the leader in the tipping competition. Japan is currently playing Ivory coast. Japan has already scored 1 goal about 15 minutes into the game. I scored this game 2-1, with Ivory coast to win, so Japan cant score again this game. This weekend end has been cold, windy and raining. This is actually great for me has I have a bad back, so the weather is keeping me resting inside. I hope Im back on track for next weekend to go to the winter magic festival in Katoomba with jack, and watch Fran dance in the parade. Last week Hasi and I saw Djuki Mala, the chooky dancers from the tiwi islands. Im hoping Annie and I get to the tiwi islands this time we in Darwin. Last time Annie and I were there, there was no service, but now it is up and running again, so it would be great to get over there, even for a day. We finally bought a bed for the spare room. Im sure Moo and jules will be happy about this. They are probably our most frequent guests. Of course I couldn't just go to Ikea or Domayne. We ought an old iron and brass bed from the late 1800s. Takes up half the room, but its an amazing piece of furniture. Im going to get the steel wool onto it today to polish it up a bit. Ok, that's all for now. Love to all, Zak. P.S. Go Moo, we keep the fire burning.

Welsh Greetings

Hi All,
Greetings from sunny South Wales. Glorious day today! Unfortunately, I have to work this afternoon. Off tomorrow and the weekend though so can soak up some vitamin D then.
Jules and I went away last week. Our usual four nights in a caravan cheapy, but not to New Quay. This time we went to Borth, between Aberystwyth and Machynlleth. It was a great week. Did the rounds of the charity shops of course. Picked up a few bargains. Finally visited the Centre for Alternative Technology - well worth it. Saw some magnificent Welsh scenery and didn't have to work. Very enjoyable.
Good luck to all of you who have entered Hasi's World Cup tipping competition. We will be mostly avoiding any football if we can. Looking forward to Wimbledon though and hoping England go down to Sri Lanka in the cricket.
Been back in work this week. Looking forward to the weekend!
Maria will be gracing us with her presence in September, so looking forward to that as well.
Annie, hope you and Annie P had a fab weekend together to celebrate her 50th birthday.
Think that's about all for now.
Hope someone reads this!
Love and hugs xxxxxxxxx
