... because we've been too busy to write, which as we've come to realise is the hardest part of maintaining a blog. But then again, sometimes life has to take priority over documenting it ;o)
We have been busy with 'winter' school holidays (he said laughing when every day is in the mid-20's - that's the mid-70's for my Fahrenheit friends stateside), plenty of study for me cramming for two post grad exams scheduled on the same day (thanks exam scheduler), a little bit of sawing, hammering and painting, plus the odd local excursion to the seaside and the outback, not to mention the usual social activities that everyday life throws up. So with the mantra of 'a picture is worth a thousand words' let the Sunday Slideshow begin...

The many places I study - Townsville Library - Study downstairs - Study upstairs.
Curse the library for moving architecture & home design books into my study nook at the library!! |

Snack dinner - a family favourite.
It wouldn't be the same without one of "Uncle Dave's" famous peach bellinis !! |

Just another day in paradise (in winter) and the girls are in the pool.
Tell me, does it get any better than this?! |

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Caroline - it got so cold recently (about 19c I think) that I had to go into the storage under the house and find one of the small portable oil heaters !! lol
