Halloween

This year Nicole and Janelle got dressed up for different Halloween parties. Janelle's night was a dinner at Trinity...


Nicole dressed as Lady Gaga and after a few drinks at home they headed into town...

Weekending

Janelle came home this weekend and brought a new "instrument" which she tested out on Nicole...After a nice family dinner Peter, Nicole and I went to the Entertainment Centre to see The Village People...

It was a good night and we sat 9 rows from the front so we were very close to them. It was fun to sing along with "You Can't Stop the Music" and learn how to do the "YMCA" properly.

Peter and Janelle went to the official opening of the new athletics track on Saturday. Peter had his photo taken for the paper with the 4 other life members and Janelle caught up with some people and got asked to help coach the juniors when she finishes uni for the year.

Sarah decided we hadn't had a scrabble challenge for a while so thats what we did while Janelle kept studying. Peter won, Sarah 2nd and I came last thanks to the letter "i" which at one stage I had 4 of...

On Sunday Nicole and I together with Madison and her mum went to the Mangrove Cafe for "High Tea". The food was lovely and it was a nice relaxing (and filling) afternoon...

Janelle went back to Perth and took some roses to brighten up her room...

It has been very windy lately so the roses haven't been looking as nice. Peter had a cleanout around the yard for hardwaste pickup soon. After he had put this out the gate half of it had been taken by someone...

He also oiled the daybed he has making for months out of bits of recycled fence and our old patio table. Now we just need to get cushions made for it and sit back and enjoy...

Bath Day

Sarah took these photos of two very unhappy dogs having a bath yesterday...


Life is so much more pleasant when they are clean!

Photo Challenge

I entered this photo of Sarah studying into a competition where you had to take a shot from "looking down". It does give a different perspective of a subject. We didn't win but got in the top 13 and had the photo published on American blog for all to see...

Trinity ball

Last night attended another ball, this time it was Trinitys. All the students were taken down to Fremantle by bus. They had a few photos before they left Trinity...

Janelle and her room mates...Having a good time...

Spring Garden

The roses are about to burst into full bloom with all the bushes covered in buds. Its always nice to see the first ones open...



Not forgetting our annual Bird of Paradise...



We gave this plant (dont know what its called) to Mum J for her birthday, love the orange flowers...

And she gave us this orchid...

Twenty Two

Today Nicole turned 22. She had to have a self inflicked "quiet day" as she wasn't feeling the best after a night out. We went and gave her some pressies and she came over for tea...


Happy Birthday Nicole - love you lotsxxxxxxxxxx
