New Norcia

Couple of weeks back we went to see our friends Bomber and Lisa. They live out south of New Norcia - it was lovely to see them - especially as Lisa is due with their baby next month....

Bomber took us for a little drive around the property which took about an hour an a half. The boys did typical farmer stuff, and talked typical farmer talk....

I took pictures and enjoyed the scenery.

After we left them for our long trip home we spotted these cool ruins. So instead of driving past them and saying "next time we should stop and have a look at those" like we usually do ..... WE STOPPED!!!I am so glad we did - the day was perfect and the ruins really stood out well against the backdrop of green paddock and blue skies!

Daves Birthday

Its October.... Its Birthday season!

I seem to know a lot of great people who are born in October... amongst the greats are My Mum, two of my best friends, and then

my lovely husband!

For the first time in our nearly six years together we finally had a party for him... Our guests sitting down to dinner
We had lots of friends come along, which made it a fantastic night. But we were also very lucky to have one of Daves good mates from Perth, Mitch, come along also. I think this is also the first time I have ever organised a cake for him... now thats not because I am a mean wife, its just that he gets a fruitcake from Mum every year and that is a much anticipated and appreciated gift... (he loves fruitcake - he made our wedding cake last til about a week before his Birthday)
Ooops 63?? What happened there??? heheh
The party pretty much went on til about 4.30pm (I didn't) I got out of bed then and started kicking them all out, so 5.00am the Birthday boy got to bed, then got up at 7.00am for a game of golf which he apparently did quite well in.

When I got up later, there were still 2 party guests sitting around the fire... guess who one of them was? cough *Mitch* cough He was keeping Marko company (allegedly).

But it was a great party and now a week later we have nearly recovered from it.


Nearly.
