Month: January 2006

Saw this sign in our local town today – It reminded me of Rachel Walmsley!

2006 has arrived and has taken off with a steady start for us. John is now working more normal hours and we have had a chance to go out a bit more. Last weekend we went to Lancelin for a suring lesson which was really good fun and a great way to burn off some Christmas Calories!! We hope to go again next weekend and also plan to catch up with a couple who John met when he was out here last time 2yrs ago. They are on a farm about 45mins drive away and have a couple of young kids.
Cyclone Clare created some excitement at the end of last week giving some areas half their annual rainful in 24hrs. Luckily by the time it reach us the wind had dropped but we still got the rain. It was a catagory 3 storm when it hit the coast up north.
The dogs are doing well although its predicted to get much hotter this coming week so I hope they cope ok. Keita is now as tall as Eddie but I think he will always remain the boss! I don’t think she is going to make much af a guard dog, she is very soggy!
Please view the new pics below.

John’s work Ute at the farm on Friday. This is the Farm’s quarry.

John on the tin roof of our house trying to fix the Aircon on a hot day!

This is the River Avon at Toodyay, further down river it becomes the River Swan which is the large river that runs through Perth. I took this pic on New Years day when we went out for a drive through Toodyay, Northam and York.

This sunset was a few nights ago and the clouds are due to Cyclone Clare of which we got the tail end.

Another sunset viewed from the back of our garden last week.
