Life in PMQ: Part 2



I hope to get the pics of the Bishop and Victor relaxing up this time - and only once. V is great fun to have around.

Life in PMQ






Some recent photos of life here - at Nobbys dog beach, with Emma and Victor, then entertaining the Bishop, who stayed with us for 8 days.Then a few to show how relaxed and settled Victor is. He lives with a couple from Church, but spends a lot of time here. Tonight he and Rach have gone to dinner at Sylvia's. We go on hols for 4 weeks on Wednesday, so my blog will be quiet till I return. Note "La Vieille", which you gave me for my birthday (well-some of you), in the photo of Victor at the piano.

Gardens, Worm Farms and Worms:






Just a few introductory shots of another part of my garden, so that the worm photos don't come as a shock. Note the tiny baby worm snuggling in the shadow of the mother worm. Also Emma in the garden, and my vegies.

Sydney, part 1





Ok, now I should be able to work this blog system. First photo: Merry and I, early morning (well, about 10am) in her Glebe home. Second, lunch in the wonderful restaurant in Parliament House. Just look at my dessert. Next, Outside Parliament House - also with Nancie and David. Nancie and I had just been to the NSW Art Gallery Self-Portrait Exhibition. Next: En route to the Sydney Theatre, in Walsh Bay, to see Alan Bennett's "The History Boys", which was excellent. These bears were part of a display at Circular Quay. There were bears from every country in the world. For obvious reasons, we chose to be photographed in front of UK and USA. I think there is also a photo here of me in Glebe, with the University of Sydney in the background, to make several of you feel nostalgic.
(Sorry, have lost last photo.)

Second Try




Will this work?

Second Attempt






Great Advance in My Computer Skills

If this appears, it means I've got these photos of our Sydney trip up myself. This is Mayumarri, where we stopped of en route for the opening of a new wing. First photo, Tony Abbott (Federal Health Minister) and Liz Mulliner, and the beautiful Cessnock scenery. Second photo, Dad handing out lunch.
