Progress at our new place; paddock has been replaced with dirt and earth moving equipment.

Oh I just love what you've done with the place.

Still a bit dirty though.

A bit of work to be done in the garden perhaps? Or maybe Miss Daisy and Lola have been digging? :shock:

Breakfast at the Darwin Surf Lifesaving Club

Hard to beat an Adelaide Hills winery for lunch platters on a sunny Autumn day.

Halfway home and this is not the worst place to relax between flights.

Absolutely packed inside and out. Given it's at Woodside that is impressive.

A slightly chillier Autumnal wine-tour around Canberra. This is at Helm. Gorgeous spots, but a bit disappointed with the wines on offer this year (especially the reds).

Our dog Sally having her birthday cake/muffin. She will be turning 17 on Tuesday. All the family home for Mothers Day dinner, so great chance to celebrate her birthday - don't like her chances of making it to 18.
(carpet & rubber down on the tiles, so she does not slip)

I doubt very much that a certain AH 80 years ago would have envisaged his worker's holiday paradise turning into this.
Mind you after all it's been through and lot's of attempts to have it all demolished, it's good to see that some of it has been saved.

View from yesterday.



The glass straightens after a few of these...

That soil looks great! Are either of you gardeners? A vege patch to produce fresh produce for all of those AFF dinners ...... (or should that be, diners? )

Sounds like a story on which elaboration may be in order. Where is it? Is it a renovated prison? ... and what's with all the dead grass around the pool? Seems like their grounds staff have been enjoying too many of those bent ales!

Not quite the view I was hoping to see by now. My original flight VA304 was cancelled, auto rebooked on VA318

It'll lift soon. Here on the GC, the rain has given way to a perfect day, so BNE shouldn't be too far behind!

Also support the idea of a separate thread. An area we are looking at has lots with turn key packages. We are still considering the area but we like it and the idea of being able to build and have your own input into what makes a house functional is very appealing.

Only took about 75 years to finish the buildings!! Must be a great spot though.

Flying home this morning the glow of dawn began to appear:



A few Minutes later it began to peek over the cloud:



Then it was there:

A few office pics over the last fortnight. First a stop here to visit some people...


Then off to company HQ. Approaching SJC


One of the more productive staff members at HQ


I got a little excited seeing this at HQ. Turns out to be cold brew coffee, not beer. Still winning!
