Visitors

So, what have we been up to... well, we've had some good fun with visitors from afar! My auntie has been in Oz staying with her son Dave and his family so we've been lucky to spend quite a lot of time with her catching up on everything. We managed to spend a couple of afternoons together in various parks etc. and took a trip to "The City" one day to check up on Isy at the office... Needless to say Dylan enjoyed being with her and I can still hear the loud cries of "Auntie Olwyn! Look at this!" and such from the little fella...

We've also had a great afternoon hooking up with Duane and his wife Michele and Connie (who has just moved to Oz). Duane, Connie and I used to hang out in Munich in 1993 and have recently found each other again through LinkedIn. What a laugh. Here we are taking up where we left off with a German Stein at the LowenBrau beer keller in Sydney after 14 years. You couldn't make it up...


Thinking about it, we've spent a fair bit of time down at the Rocks recently. Here's a few pictures of a certain someone tucking in to an ice cream (or two!)...



...a couple of the aquarium at Darling Harbour...







And just to finish off... some pics of Aussie wildlife at the local Koala park...
ahhhh...
baby kangaroos....

Mind The Gap.

In the blog that is...and it was all going so well!! Seem to have had a bit of a break there, I guess I got out of practice...

Anyway, needless to say, we're still out here in Oz and it's still loadsa fun :-) Isy has just taken a 6 month contract and I'm now working from home which, I have to say is a nice change. I even manage to get to the driving range during lunch hour. I am working hard though.

Honest.

No, really.

Anyway, we've got my Auntie over here staying with my cousin at the moment and we're meeting them for dinner tonight. It's been good to see her again after a couple of years. I think she's enjoyed it over here, especially up in Port Douglas snorkelling and stuff... nice.

Well, I gotta go get the little guy early from day-care so we can head off for dinner. I'll get some pics up soon of our latest antics... adios.
