a few photos of Jess on her way to meet up with Meg. A big adventure for Jessica - her first plane flight and she travelled alone because Meg had been working on Hayman Island and took a flight straight from Hayman.

You'll notice I'm a little overdressed for water activities, but no one would tell me what was planned for the day. I was just told to dress casual.

A great way to stay in shape.

Solomon has joined the movie team

Because many of you haven't visited his Kotara home, he thought he'd bring his home to you.

Sol has uploaded a short video of his own private residence, which as you will see, is a great teenagers 'pad'.

Thanks for the tour Sol. I noticed you didn't share your own private bathroom with us. Why is that? Didn't have time to do the cleaning in that little part of house, or you just don't want us peering into your private onsuite?

Well done Sol. Thanks for sharing your video. We'll look forward to the next production.

Cheers! Keep smiling!

William - launching a few garments from his wonderful wardrobe!

It's been such hard work showing off all my lovely new clothes

Thanks for the pics Aunty Meg. Good job!

Catching up with Mark, Teresa and the children

A couple of photos taken at Geoff and Julie's on Thursday afternoon.

Mark and Geoff have been friends since their early teens and they meet up regularly to eat, drink and be merry.

Mark is a lecturer at Newcastle University. His field is Epidemiology and he's a very interesting guy to spend time with. Teresa and the children, Beau, Bridie and Molly, have had a great few days at Aunty Julie and Uncle Geoff’s.

More photos to come later.

THE GREAT CHRISTMAS SACK RACE

If there was any doubt about the sanity of our family, these clips will demonstrate once, and for all, that the state of our mental health is of serious concern to many of our friends.

The truth is, we are all certifiable. You will see from the clips, that we are a danger to ourselves, and perhaps to others. Normal people just do not behave the way we do.

Saturday was a big day for Amy

She moved from her home in Darlinghurst.

She did all the packing herself, but she had a little help on the day. David, Meg and Chris were there to fetch, carry and stack. And of course I was the primary ute driver for the day.

Everytime one of my children moves house I thank my father for his wisdom. He insisted I learn to drive a truck before a car, and upsize my motor vehicle licence. He believed women should know how to drive a truck, a tractor, and back a trailer and/or caravan. Clever person, my dad. My LR licence has been a great asset to the family over the years.

Meg, Chris and Dave worked like turbo charged removalists, and the job was done in no time at all.

I'll miss Darlinghurst. It's a great place and packed with fond memories.

Here is the link to the memory lane movie.
