may 2012 be all that you dream for and more

new tv

most people when they get a new tv, would just take the old one off the shelf and put the new one up. ours required scaffolding !!!!

hanging out

the beach

the beach

a few days after christmas we spent at the beach with mum and dad. new bikes were used as well as many games of cricket. long summer days

rain

the skys opened as we got home tonight, the kids tired went to bed early... as i walked past the front door i looked out to see almost a river through our car port, i called to john and said, lets go and have a look.... i grabbed the kids out of bed and as we drove down the road there was an imprompture street party as many houses down on the flat were flooding. we kept going and drove down one of our friends road.... they were flooded, so the next 3 hours the kids danced in the rain and then collapsed into a warm bath while we bucketed out their downstairs. a christmas night we will remember for ever.
