Well, how to start this entry....? At the beginning I guess. On Friday my good mate and long-time AWTA stalwart dropped a bombshell. Did it shock us? Safe to say Rob and I nearly fell of our chairs, or as close to it as "damn it" is to a swear word! Andrew is moving on to bigger and better things, but is leaving behind a void. Fortunately he will be less than 5 minutes away, and instead of the regional manager, he will now be our biggest client. I reckon he'll be a tough customer, haha! Anyway mate, jobs may change, but mate-ship remains.
How did I react? Friday night, no sleep. Saturday, complete revamp of the garden and installed new blinds for the bathroom window etc. Karin and I were totally smashed. And those bloody flies! In your nose, ears, eyes...crickey!...but we slept like babies. Sunday; very slowly got out of bed, stood up even slower and moaned-and-groaned about the aching muscles we'd forgotten we had. To relax we smoked some Salmon, Swordfish and cooked some Boerewors on the Weber (on one of them anyway :-)). Monday, who knows? Anyway, Rob's saying of "Something big always happens in December" certainly is true again this year.

| The back garden, with all the messy bush and crap removed. Some new palms, Kangaroo's Paw and Lavender plants have gone in. |

Our trusty "Down Under" gas BBQ and my three Weber's. The green one was a gift from Craig Baker, the red one from a verge collection some months back
and the black one from my dad in NZ. I now need the blue and gray ones, haha! |
