Web Cam......

I had totally forgottten about these funny pictures Che` took on our web cam.
We had the computer for about a year before we knew about the camera on it, and that was only due to Che` telling me we had it!.  I heard her & Finny giggling one day & came in to discover the source of their delight was Finny seeing himself on the computer screen, with things like fish eyes and smoke coming out his ears and beards, and his horror at seeing Che` morph into a werewolf!.  It was so funny..........

I picked up this childrens scrabble game from the op-shop the other day.  I think it is from the late 50's early 60's and I thought the words & pictures were pretty amazing...........

Can you imagine using those pictures for childrens education in this day & age???

But this is the reason why I wanted it .......

Camera woes..........

Today I am feeling a little bit down because I am still without a camera.  I haven't heard anything from Canon about the hopeful resurrection of my beloved digi and that makes me worry.  I walk by the phone about 50 times a day thinking I will just call and see what's happening, but manage to show some restraint, as I know they will contact me when they know the outcome.  I haven't told you the story of it's demise, as I'm quite embarrassed about it really.........I think it may well be due to the simple little fact that this beloved apparatus of mine lived for a year without a case.  WHY?????  I don't know, it's so silly really, I just never got around to purchasing one.  So it's not hard to imagine, with the amount of photos I take, and where the camera has actually been........that it was just a little dirty.  Something the camera shop pointed out straight away!.  So if it turns out that my beloved will not return, there shall be no one to blame but myself.  And that is exactly why I'm so upset.  I wish I could blame Canon or digital cameras in general but, no, it is my fault and my fault only!.  (ouch, that hurts!).  And to make matters worse, Che`s little camera that I had been using is also not working.........OK, just getting a little bit paranoid now.  So, no photos for a while..........(sigh..).

The new addition......

Here is the new little face about the farm.........


We have been waiting to see this dear little face for a while now, and boy, is it cute......he or she is still not out of the pouch, but we are seeing more of that dear little face everyday & sometimes just a limb or two!.


We think the fella in the background is her joey from last year.  Still hangs around his mumma!

Easter 2010

Well, another easter has come and gone and there is no shortage of chocolate in this household.  I left a little chocolate rabbit at the end of Finns bed, and while I thought he was having a sleep in, the kids soon discovered he had found the rabbit, ripped it open and started eating it without making a noise!!.  So he had chocoloate on his face frome the time he got up to the time he went to bed.  Thankgoodness it's only for a day!.  We were blessed with the great company of friends and family, especially Nits & Juan and the girls, thankyou for making the effort to come down from Brisvegas once again....and Troy & Bec coming out from Ballina, and of course the Dillons.  We love spending time with you guys, and thankyou wholeheartedly for always making the effort to visit when you can.  Nits and I had just a few Martinis while Ping Pong tournaments were taking place.......leaving a few bruised egos thanks to Logan, but that is another story(he's only just a little bit good at Ping Pong).  And we managed to put out an unwanted fire by ourselves!  Go the Girls!  Summer, Mia & Asha had a little paddle in the creek, although it is a bit overgrown at the moment, but flowing nicely after all the rain we have had. 
 Chocolate, Ping Pong, fires, Martinis......Ahhhhh can't wait till next year..........

Wooli Holiday......


We have just returned from our week away at Wooli, and while it is good to be home, I could have easily stayed on......the weather was just perfect and I can't believe I'm going to say this but......I am so glad that we did not camp and rented a house instead.  It took a bit of convincing, but it is just so much easier and less stressful than lugging all that camping gear around!.  Wooli is such a great place, a very friendly little town that I'm sure we will return to.......



Had to take this photo!



Summer caught her first fish, a flathead!



Finny was just floating around in the water, thanks for the Zoggs' Nits!

They really were having fun......!



Adam being persistent & Rach being patient!!
