hey all...

Bit old news but thanks to Gary, Vikki and Hollie for coming to DD's party... DD had a ball, she was in bed before 6 and slept till after 9 the next morning. Little minx has figured out how to get out of her cot, sleeping bags and pjs since she turned 2! The bed is on order! I'm loving the huge increase in language that she has too, so nice to almost be having 'conversations' with her.

We met a friend from WA (an expat by coincidence!) to go to the fireworks at the show - DD loved them and the rides she went on. We are off to the Longford show this weekend and then Hobart on the 24th after the baby & kids market to meet a friend for dinner at Hogs Breath. We'll be going to Deloraine too so will keep an eye out for what the rest of you are up to for that.

Gary - did you get the chickens? What date is the teddy bears picnic?

We just bought a different motorbike too and the first weekend in Nov we are hoping to go see Jimmy Barnes at Aurora as part of the Harley rally. Then I guess it will be getting close to Christmas - although I have to admit that as years go I will be glad when this one is over.

Cath - I've come to the conclusion that the only way not to have family issues is to be an only child and the more siblings you have the more conflict there can be. The distance is helping me to focus on what I do have rather than what I am missing out on.

yes still playing in the band-we're playing at the Margate Tavern this Saturday 17 Oct.

Have fun, always looks very quiet there, perhaps you'll pull in a bigger crowd!

l went for a holdiay to Tasmania in the middle of summer and don't remember seeing a single fly, in Perth that time of year theres probably swarms of them , becasue of the cool cliamte l don't think flies of a problem like they are in the rest of OZ.

We get some flies in the house when the weather warms up but not a particular problem. Have also been bitten by midges/mozzies when out walking etc but again not a real problem, probably only the same as in the UK.

Tas is definitely the place to come if you hate the flies/sandflies/mozzies that are heavy duty in some parts of Oz, just don't expect the same weather as Perth!!

friends said Longford was good, sounds like the weather is picking up over there they said it was beaut day.

mm have to disagree re the flies where we are they were really pretty bad last summer, dont know if its cos we are next to the sea/river? I bought one of those sprays that activates itself every few mins seemed to make a difference.

Off to Hollywood tomorrow

Hollywood? You lucky thing! Have a great time x

Shane, we have a home in Tasmania and I havent noticed any flies at all, but believe me they were here to greet me when the doors opened in Karratha

Hi to you all,

Many thanks,

Sharon
