Adelaide Trip 2011

 While I was over in Adelaide to watch the Crows, I had a day to kill, so I caught a tram into the city and wandered around seeing what I could find to photograph.

There was plenty of entertainment in Rundle mall.

There were all these random pianos around the city you could sit down and play if you felt inclined to do so.

 I even ended up at the museum and had a browse around for awhile.

 Taking some time out just to catch a pic of myself.

 What a babe, she even sprinkled glitter onto my shoulder.

 Catching a fashion show.

 I stayed in Glenelg for the weekend.

 The kids were up nice and early to use the water slides.

Beach at Glenelg.

20 Year Love Affair

20 years ago there was a new team who came into the AFL, I remember thinking that thats my team after seeing them come into the competition and from game one against the Hawks, where the Crows touched them up by 86 points, I was hooked.

For someone who likes their team there's nothing quite like being in a home crowd and I had never been to Adelaide before, so seeing as though this was the anniversary of the Crows coming into the competition, I thought I better change that and headed over to Adelaide for the weekend.

The original players were shown to the crowd before the new crop of stars came on to play, earlier on in the day Andrew Mcleod, football superstar who retired the year before was on playing a game for the Northern Territory team, he was rolling along as per usual with ease.

The banner says it all!!

.Well worth the money and the experience of being in a crowd who wants a win as much as you

One of the two premierships we have won.

Two legends of the club.



A couple of more legends.





10 years

 Today one of the managers asked me to come into his office and I said to him, what have I done now.  I'm not used to going to the office unless something has happened, so I reluctantly went in and he goes to me, I'm sorry to have to do this to you, so I said ok, just tell me what I've done and he goes, I have to apologise, but work lost this and he then says to me I hear you have been with the company for ten years.  It was a bit of a relief to realise what I was getting and I wasn't in strife.

Who would have thought that ten years ago, I'd leave Tassie for Sydney, let alone work for the one company for ten years, it wasn't something I'd even thought about.  I'm on a pretty good wicket with StarTrack, they look after me pretty well, with how much time I've needed off since 02 and all the hospital visits,  guess thats why im still with the company.

My dream Job

You know when your asked what your dream job is??!!  Well I think I've found what would be mine.

Usually you just have to watch out for the cricket ball coming flying your way without needing to worry about the elements sending things flying at you.

Just about the perfect shot for the lense used, with the bails in the pic flying in the air with the ball cannoning into the stumps.

I find AFL easier to get shots of as you can pretty much tell where the balls about to go and can follow it easier as its alot bigger.

So can you guess what my dream job is??!!

Christmas 2010

 This year for Christmas I had my friends Dave and Ande come and stay with me as they had moved to Queensland and had decided they would come back and spend Christmas with their families, so we had a bit of Christmas spirit, with us as they have their two daughters.

Ande decided that we needed a tree and as it was only me usually, I hadn't bothered, so she bought a tree and  her and the girls decorated it.

Second stop for the day after we all left to go our seperate ways was at the Rances, who decided id been a stranger for to long and so rang me up to come over, so ended up their for lunch and a chat and a snooze on their couch :)

After the Rances I headed over to North Richmond and visited with the Hargreaves and the Sandelin-Mccanns and watched a movie and had tea.

Who knew that huggies nappies boxes would come in so handy for a piniata :)

 It was a nice day all up and was nice to spend it with lots of friends, who have meant so much in my life from early childhood friends to people who have taken me in and looked after me well the last few years.
