Hola! Que Tal ? Started Spanish lessons yesterday ready for SA. Was quite a scary experience. I expected a complete noddy lesson (you know, one, two, three, cat, dog - that sort of useless rubbish) - but have been thrown in at the deep end. I was a bit late for the lesson and walked into a class with a teacher jabbering away in Spanish - I was convinced I was in the wrong place and would have to just get up and walk out again. Soon realised that most others ...

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! Hope that everyone's celebrations went off with a bang ;-) We decided (along with countless other thousands) to spend NYE at Mrs Macquaries Point.

Posted pics of my last Xmas party on the site - As you know I am a lawn bowls master. I managed to weave my final bowl in and out of several tight spaces in order to beat the rest of the ...

Afternoon all - Hope this finds you all in good fettle. It's Friday afternoon and I'm gearing up for the weekend...It's all go here - Dean's not very well and I'm getting my hair done....(all weekend probably) So - what's the latest.....Last weekend was lots of fun. We went out for someones Birthday and played Lawn Bowls all day. It's apparently very fashionable over here. We're now members of Marrickville Bowling Club - and we're planning a return visit ver...
