Welsh Greetings

Hi All,
Been back two weeks already. Don't know where the time goes. Nothing much been happening in that time. Jules picked up a cold on the return journey so he's been out of sorts since our return. Seems to be over the worst of it now so may get some work out of him soon.
I have returned to work. It's a bit of a shock to the system but it's nice to see some of my colleagues again.
Got back in time for the start of the summer season of darts. Two games in and two wins under our belts.
Weather has been pretty good since our return - quite cold but mostly dry. Clocks change soon so our days will be longer.
The six nations rugby finishes up this weekend. It's still anyone's chance so should be a good afternoon. Will be a long afternoon. Wales game at 1230 so it's an early start.
That's about it for now. Missing you all and sending loads of love and hugs. xxxxx

Joan (Mum)   .............   Moo
Jack               ..............   Annie
Fran               .............    Clare  K
Tom               .............   Jules
Liam              .............   Lucy
Connor           ............    Joan
Marty             .............   Fran

Kate               ............    Connor
Hasi               .............   Liam
Annie            .............    Kevin
Lucy              ............     Jack
Clare             ............     Marty
Moo              ............     Claire
Jules              ............     Hasi

It is always an exciting event drawing the names out  of the hat;  listening to the comments; checking to see how long since you last bought for this one.

What a great time the family had over the festive season; all together for a day at Penshurst; the Elvis Festival; Annie's 50th; the Illawarra Festival; Moo keeping house; the "girlies" weekend at Cunjurong; all the "comings and goings", emails, photos. 
Your love, care, concern, interest you have for each other is heart-warming and a great consolation to your aging parents. I thank God every day for such a great blessing.

Love to All
Dad/Tjilpi/Old Man/Kev.

greetings from the south coast

Hi all,
How lazy am I . Couldn't even get around to putting on a blog for February.
So Moo and Jules have departed from us, but  no doubt have been warmly welcomed home by all their mates, and of course the darts team.
Moo, Im just letting you know there is a house available in Austinmer from September to November.
I know its the wrong time, nevertheless.
Dad is supposed to be putting up the Christmas draw, but must be having problems getting in to publish. I will check it out when I am up there on Friday.
I just had another glorious weekend at Cunj with Annie, Clare, Michael, Tina and Jen. Don't we all love that place!!!
So we ordered our red cedar and glass doors for the sun room, and the builder will come tomorrow to take measurements for the deck, and should get started in the next week or so. Pretty exciting.
That's all the news really. We will spend the weekend preparing the area for the deck, lifting a few hundred pavers and digging out several plants. Sounds like hard labour to me.
Anyway love to you blog readers,
Zak.
