Swag Camping

There has been a lot of swag camping going on - Alec, Jesse and Max camped in swags on their trip to 1770 and Clermont. 

Alec routinely swags it when he works up at Birdwood. 

Jesse, Max and I rolled out our swags at the Pine camp - it poured rain and Jesse got a little wet but I was dry in Louisa's swag - Max moved into the car.  

Roger, Peet and Louisa camped in swags at Birdwood while Max and I stayed in a motel in Toowoomba.  And in the morning the police came to check on the 'abandoned' car. (It was Lee's truck and luckily Peet had just stopped driving it around Birdwood.)

Though others may fail to see it - we feel very cool camping in swags!

Granted, it's probably the first of many - but really she just keeps getting more breathtakingly adorable.

Now that he's no longer Bishop...

...Roger has been doing a bit of this...

a bit of that (yep, Roger was driving the yellow tractor and Alec is coming to the rescue in the orange tractor)...

and a bit of this:

That first photo makes me very happy - there's not much I like to see more than four men working on my house.  This time they were building a roof - photos to follow.

iPhone photos

A hotch potch of iPhone photos follows - that should bring me up to date!

Fishing off the Shorncilffe Pier - Peet is probably taking photos and I have taken a break from reading to take the photo.

A trip to Noosa - Louisa brought a friend - Sam Wheeler - who is always welcome.

A new dog arrived - there's quite a story there - not one that Roger particularly loves, but even Roger admits he is glad to have 'Scott' in the family.

One of the first YW nights in our new ward was a Mad Hatters party - Jesse saved the day and made hats for Louisa and I.

A week at Sunshine - see the surfboards - that's Alec's new surfboard and Mitchie's from the unit.  It was all a bit gorgeous.

Scott came with us - Roger coped remarkably well - Max did the hula.

Jesse's graduation - one degree down. 

Scott loves Max.

Bali - Joan, Petie, Sam and I - this would be the view from the villa - last time we got together we were kicked out of the restaurant we were lunching at - this time we made it without making too much of a spectacle - mostly.

Alec, Jesse, Max and Samantha (Gilkes) and David Gray went on a camping trip to 1770 and Clermont - a wonderful time was had.

A bit fo screen time - there's far too much of that happening.

This is what happens when Peet gets hold of my phone - how does he do that?

Nerf gun modifying - the beginning of a craze.

Andrew Barham brought his replica cannon and gave us a demonstration - those battlefields must have been unbelievably loud.

Jesse and Max and I went on the Pine family camp - we slept in swags and loved the swimming dam.

Peet taking some photos of Birdwood for the website.

At the Op Shop in Toowoomba - Louisa and Max heading off to Narnia.

My new toy - a paella pan.

And so on and so forth.
