Greetings not from the south coast

Hi all
We'll Annie and I are chilling out in the top end with Marty and Claire. Oops and Buddy Guy. Markets , swimming, sipping champagne in the pool, which is one of our favourite pastimes. This morning we went for a lovely walk in the Jingili Water Gardens. This arvo we are reading and helping Mart put up the rails on the verandah. We have done the easy small ones at the end, but have to get the longer, and heavier ones up next.
It is truely amazing how much work they have done here since we last visited, and how much the garden has grown. Lovely lush and private.
our niece should have arrived this morning. She should have arrived last night but her flight was delayed, so she missed her connecting flight in Singapore. I'm waiting to her form Hasi if she landed.
Ok back to work
Love to all, zak

GREETINGS FROM HOME

After much difficulty this page has opened up. How long it will last and whether it will publish will be determined shortly.
Pacemaker revamped; Darwin finally landed; heavy cold limiting.
Per favour of Marty's mate Dave, teacher and horse trainer, have booked for Scone Cup next year.
Disappointing AFL Grand Final, but enjoyable company.
Trip to Corroboree Lagoon: beautiful, colourful country, even after a long Dry; crocs, water birds, soaring kites, hawkes, sitting sea eagles...but no fish.
A motor failure gave Marty and Joe a chance to hone their paddling skills before a tow to the boat ramp.
A visit to Claire's work place topped off a great few days with Marty and Claire.
I took very few photos but what I did take won't come up on my "insert" key.
(20 minutes of frustrating chasing around trying to get pictures I give up)
Love to all. Kate and Annie will no doubt be able to get pictures on their blog.
I wonder will they get Marty to come back on board.
Dad, Old Man, Kev, Tjilpi .

greetings from the south coast

Hi all, No I don't think she will get that message Moo. So presumably people who travel write blogs, so we should be expecting a beauty from the top end very soon. Im not sure if Im travelling, but I am away from home quite a bit lately. Well maybe I am as m in the time warp, does that count?? I went for a walk/run down to the boat ramp this morning. I was truly disgusted at how seedy the water looked. Basically green slim, and no way of seeing anywhere near the bottom. How do fish live in that?? It is however a great area to walk, run, see the birds, the mansions, the native bushland, the ducks and all the people with dogs. I read in the weekend paper that 40% of Wollongong households have dogs. The council is taking away the off the leash beaches, and there is a major outcry from the locals. My miserable dogless self, couldn't care less, in fact dogs can be a real pain in the arse on the beach,and dog owners can be complete wankers about their dogs behaviours. Nevertheless it was a lovely morning by the bay. Lovely that its Monday and Im not at work. What a lovely thought. You teachers get to say that every few months, lucky yous. OK that sit for now, looking forward to our very own tales from the tinny soon. Love to the blog loyals, Zak

Welsh Greetings

Hi All,
Kate the bed is beautiful and looks fantastic! The Welsh tapestry suits it perfectly. There are three photos. Beautiful.
Not much happening here. Work and play. The van is sick again. Jules is getting very peed off with it. Looks like the gear box now. Need to do an extra shift this weekend to pay for a new one.
All well otherwise. Great news from Brigid! Very pleased to see that facebook post from Gen.
Have a fabulous weekend in Canberra.
Take care all. xxxxx
