All Good

Ticking along here.
Niamh is really loving her horsey experience, Peter is getting stuck into his guitar, Wendie is gyming it most days and the weather is starting to warm up.

With the penant.
The kids had their sports days over the last couple of weeks, Niamh finished second in the 1500 mtrs and has been selected to represent St Helena's in the schools area athletics carnival.Peter entered all events, plenty of running plus long jump, discus and shot put, and which contributed lots of points for McCormack (his house).
Go go go.

Couldn't Resist It!!!

Had to get a photo in the daylight.
The others are of the amount of stuff that actually gets removed.

Pretty grey looking sky for winter eh?

Well they Made Me Laugh!

Just some funny names of various companies that we have seen whilst driving around.
The Indians are coming!

Related to the strawberry people.

Would You?

Every 6 months the local Shires of Perth help residents have a clean up of their houses and gardens. Basically, area by area you are notified of when its your turn and it provides an opportunity to chuck out all your unwanted ietms and garden junk free gratis.
We all think its a great idea, as the amount you can dipose of is unlimited and I would think it prevents fly tipping.
What also happens is that you get 'cruisers', people who drive around the suburbs that are in the process of having this service, seeing if there is anything worth having! Honestly, and I'm not joking. Nothing illegal about it, but we saw a guy who was trying out a dining room table and six chairs!
We always have a good laugh about some of the stuff that is thrown out, as it looks like it should have been thrown out 20 years earlier.
The finest example is this sofa, I wouldn't of let Scruufy or Meg sit on it!! Would you?
