Back on air at last.

You will be all pleased to know that we are back on air after 9 days of total isolation. I am able to get back to my farm and sought out the devastation. I now know how farmers must feel when their crops are ruined and all the money they must lose. I have replanted potatoes and couple of over vegetables and providing there are no other hiccups will be able to expand my farm when the crops are harvested.

Thank you Kerry- Ann who has been looking in on my farm and reporting the happening but unable to do anything about it. Also thank you David for letting me tend to your farm so I would not be completely lost.
Some things to tell you about David.......I know you just wanted a pig farm but in order to get this up and running I needed to plant some crops. At harvest I will then have some money to work with. Also I had to sell 1 horse and 2 of your goats to get enough money to buy the crops as I had spent the little money you had on fences etc. I will be able to sent these animals back to you as gifts. I hope you don't mind but I also adopted a couple of ugly ducklings that were found on other peoples property and needed a home...................doesn't this all seem real to you !!!!!!!

Sunday was the annual Buddy Walk and our family raised $1,110 towards this great cause. Unfortunately, David and Simone could not make this event as they were both still recovering
from flu like symptoms which they probably passed on to everyone on Saturday at Emily's 8th Birthday. Seriously, I hope you both are feeling better.


















The weather was kind to us and we all meet at Circular Quay and walked across the Harbour Bridge to Nelson Park for a picnic. Felise didn't walk as far as she did last year as she had a "stitch in her side" . She was feeling better later and joined in with all the dancing but got a bit shy when a photographer wanted to take a photo of her. Jake had a great time too with so much open space and enjoyed wandering off.







We were entertained by the Japanese hip hop sensation "Love Junx" (all of whom have down syndrome). The crowd was enthralled with their amazing moves. After the performance Love Junx invited the audience to the dance floor to teach them a bit of hip hop and soon most of the Buddy Walkers were dancing to the beat including Felise.

We were all tired little teddies at the end of the day.

Photo taken at Zacs on my Birthday on Friday with David and Amanda, Gina and Peter and Tony. We are going to make this a monthly event.

Saturday was October Birthday day at Craig and Danielle's place. Emily turned 8 and scored a Sportacus suit which she would not take off for 2 days. Picture shows Emily in her Sportacus suit. (He is one of the characters in Tiny Town). One of her presents from David and Simone was a Goonies video and she was over the moon with this and wanted to watch it straight away.

Alvira and Jason were also there with their daughter Jazmin who is 5 months old. Jason was Craig's Best Man.
NEWS FLASH: Tony has been invited back to Fairfield Hospital to work on a casual basis........ will keep you updated.
