Around here

Ollie

 Brendan, Ollie and I did a quick race out to one of his clients farms and cut a ute load of wood. Ollie found the freedom highly exhilarating :-) and I enjoyed wandering around the paddocks until it was time to load the wood, thankfully we did manage to miss the worst of the rain that hit.

A couple of cute little toadstools nestled amongst the grass in the paddock

Waiting for Paddy's heat to start. 

Saturday morning we packed up early and headed down to Robe to watch Paddy in a body boarding comp. The original plan was to get back home and head out to the footy but with the weather so cold and wet and the kids all (but one) home we lit the fire and had a night in. 

Anatomy of a spin

Love this shot of Bren on the cliffs 

Family photo FitzGerald style.

 Mother's day family shot as only my boys can do it, ugly jumpers, ponchos and blankets. We were meant to head out to an op shop/mismatched bingo night at the footy club the night before so had a bit of stuff still lying around.  Jacko couldn't make it home so we used a painting Joe had done as a stand in. 

Homework time

Seamus is the only student still living at home, less than two years and secondary school will be all done and dusted and the older two boys will be finished at university. It will be strange after over 20 years of education.
