Observations of us
On Sunday Andrew, Ben, Phil and myself spent the day at Somerset Dam. Uncle Phil and Andrew took Ben had his first ride on a jetski. He loved sitting on the Jetski and playing with the handle bars. He wasn’t overly keen on the life jacket….. probably because it was way to big. He will have to grow into it. It was great to spend a day outside (and not swelter in the heat) and to catch up with Phil. Check out Ben on the jetski!
Andrew grew a Mo in November for Movember. Movember is fun way to raise money and awareness for men’s health issues. Andrew’s work got a group together to grow mos and raised over $600.00. Andrew looks ever so handsome with his mo……. not!!! He has never grown a mo before and probably for good reason. What do you think?
Benjamin has always loved Andrew’s motorbike. Andrew puts him on it and he fiddles with all the buttons and leavers. He more recently has discovered the gloves and helmet. Daddy has to distract Ben most days to get them away. Ben loves nothing more than to put the gloves and helmet on. If the spare bedroom door is not closed you occasionally hear a large bang and that is Ben dropping Andrew’s helmet in his attempt to put it on!!
Well I had a top weekend at Bathurst camping on Mt Panorama with a bunch of great guys (sorry no gals, it was a boys only event).
The group call themselves the “Linguine Drivers Club” and are basically just a collection of motorsport nuts that make the pilgrimage to Bathurst each year in pursuit of a fun weekend.
We travelled by bus (coach) from the Gold Coast via the coastal route, down to Sydney then west over the Blue Mountains and Lithgow to Bathurst. A long trip (14h), but made easier by the on board entertainment (aided by a bit of alcohol).
Once on site the camp was erected in very short time due to the use of four “quick-shades” rather than tents. Very bloody handy and worth looking into for your next camping trip.
Here are a few of the first batch from Friday I have uploaded into Flickr now moved into Picasaweb (slideshow below) cos I like it better ;).
I will post more over the next few days, keep checking back.
I am trying out a few different online photo sharing apps. This one is Picasaweb by Google. I think I like it.
Linguine Drivers Club Fun.

Ben loves to play outside. He particular loves Daddy’s motorbike. He has fiddly fingers and will play with all kinds of things – rocks, tools, pegs, sticks, bolts, locks ect. This weekend while outside with Dad Ben decided it would be fun to post a peg in Daddy’s motorbike exhaust…. Oh Dear! Ben had a great time with Dad while they pulled the bike apart to get it out.
This afternoon we had a ripper hail storm. The storm came generally from the south west but when it hit the hail appeared to be coming from every direction. Luckily our only casualty was the peg basket which was hanging from the clothes line. The largest hail was about 30mm in diameter. The noise on our tin roof was unbelievable.
