Zoom Zoom

After alot of years of Joy with my Commodore and the last trip to
Tassie, the old girl was starting to make some funny noises and play up a little, so I figured it was time to let the old girl go as I had been thinking about upgrading cars for awhile.

I had an idea of what I wanted and this caught my eye straight away, and I decided after driving it, I didn't need to look any further, so now I just need to get myself some roof racks, so I can put my Kayak on top again.

A windy day with the Triffitt's, Watsons and Kelly's

Since Wednesday night Jared and Becky and the kids have been up staying with me, as they came up to go to the temple. Today I decided I'd take the day off and spend the day with them and we went shopping for a couple of hours at Parramatta and then we went to the Taronga Zoo. At the zoo we met up With Becky's brother Stan and his wife Lisa and their daughter and also Lisa's mum, who had come up for a few days too.

One of the tigers was pacing up and down wanting some food

Since I was at the zoo last with the Kings, they have opened up a new exhibit and we had the chance to have a look at it, there were seals and a sea lion, they were pretty cool.

Lisa and Stan's daughter Hallie

Kels decided she wanted to be adopted out :)

A couple of the animals escaped and needed to be caught

Fare Thee Well Tasmania

This is it, I don't know when I'll blog again, these are a few of the many shots that I took or were taken of me while I spent the last month down in Tassie, but today is the last day before I catch the Spirit of Tasmania and head back to normal life home alone.

The swimming hold down at Pop's has been all cleaned up and a little jetty and flying fox now goes across the swimming hole

We made a flying visit to Eddystone point for the day, just so I could get my fill of fishing and being out with the boys, we got very few fish and the Crays we got were delicious So thanks guys

Where else but Tassie, I got sll the seasons, We went to the snow, wore shorts and tshirt, but suprisingly very little rain this trip round.
One of the many snaps I took of myself, the mighty lobster river down the back of Mum and Dad's placeAt the start of our family photo shoot, Steph had some balloons and she gave them to another person, who we shall not mention and they got away, a little like some of our dreams I think, if we dont hold on to them strong, they too will just drift away until we have forgotten all about them.

The reason I come back to Tassie still, One of the photos Fiona took of us, she did an incredible job of keeping everyones interest as long as she did. I will miss you guys, but I'm sure we'll see each other soon enough.

Just one of my favourite shots that I took, I just thought the scene was Beautiful.

So it's been fun, but alas I must leave, it was nice to catch up with family and to those who had me over for Tea, thankyou, it was awesome to see you. On a parting note, I came across a German pastry Chef and he's fantastic, absolutley loved the food.

Tea with the Horsmans

I have been abit slack getting this Blog up as the pics were on my phone instead of my camera, but I just have to Blog about going to the Horsmans for tea last week. Jared and Jacquie always have me over for tea when I'm down, I think it may have something to do with harrassing me about finding a wife and letting them know a date so they can come to Sydney. haha.

This time I needed to earn my keep, that morning the washing machine had broken down, so Jacquie had to wait for Jared to come home to see if he could fix it. We had a go before tea, but had to end up having another go afterwards.

President Horsman thought he'd had this problem before, so had a spare part for it already to go.

As with all good repair men, what good is fixing something if you don't have spare parts over? We had screwed it all back together and then found out we had two more parts left, at least next time the pres knows where they are from.

A water leak was an easy fix, but it still made us think we'd stuffed the job

After setting the washing machine back up, we ran the clothes through and the rinse cycle didnt seem to be working, so I sat on the couch while Jared watched what was happening as we were afraid it was filling up again and would overflow. After awhile it seemed to just rinse, and by this time Jacquie was back from basketball, so we called it off. Guess what though, the rinse cycle was supposed to be a deep one and so we had sat around looking for ages for no apparent reason. haha. Gave the pres a chance to chat with me though. Thanks for Tea guys, love seeing you

Tea with the Clan

On Saturday night Mum made a decision to invite everyone out for tea, we weren't all supposed to get together until next weekend when we have a photo shoot set up for all us to get photo's done, but last night everyone came out for a roast. Luckily Steph had a roast chicken as well or we might have been having peanut and jam sandwiches with the mob that showed up.

You dont realise how many people there are in this family now until, they are all around together causing mischief. You think you have most of the kids in a picture and then another one will pop up.

We found Jay a new job for when he's older, when he's done with being the family bell ringer, perhaps he could become the village bell ringer instead.

The adults table, notice most of the guys weren't there

Eden wasn't too impressed with two people taking photos all night, notice the face. haha

Aaron hanging out with the kids and helping with Crowd control

I wonder what mischief these two little chaps are into?

Light on Words, big on pictures

This is one of my favourite pics I've taken since being down here
