Important stuff

Louis tests out the plastic koala.

We got a car, so we headed up to the reptile park to clock up some kilometres on it, as we needed to get the service done before heading down to Melbourne. The old beast tends to scream like it's struggling on the uphills, but in general, it rolls like a dream.

Once again the kids had a great time. I realised I'd left my phone somewhere, so called it, and it was sitting in reception 5m away, as it'd been handed in already, bless them. The workers threatend to feed the kids to the snakes etc as per always, and the lazy croc got out of his pond to snap his lunch down. Still can't work out why they have a atuomated spider rapping out a tune at the spider display. A good place to visit!

Always snap happy

When we go to school, if we make it out the door early enough, we meet up with some of Ollie and Louis's buddies, Tom and Emily, their mum Alex, and her dad Wal. Usually we'll walk all 4 of them to school. It's a nice way to get there.



Looking back in the calenday, 19th of June we had Barka's birthday. I remember that. We popped over to King Tomislav's club in St John's Park, just near her retirement home. I should note, the home is excellent. There are loads of people she knows, all meals are cooked for them, and they have outings, plus some religious service every day. It is run by the Croatian Catholics. The community church is on site.

Holly and Charlie give Marie some puzzle support.

Since I'm in the shot, Louis must be taking it.
