Sailing lessons for Ollie paid off with some sailing sessions.

Alright, so what's been happening since April you ask? No idea. I can't remember what I did last weekend, let alone months ago. My brain is starting to age! It's good fun seeing the kids remember everything like little sponges.

And they're off! Tom and Ollie sail, last session of season

Here's some sailing photos from the last session of the year. The people down there are all volunteers. It is run on a shoe string. By drinking loads, buying beers, it helps fund the club. Does not help brain function.




Anyway, Ollie and Tom did very well. There was some shouting going on as they work out who's doing what and where they go, but they made a full recovery to enjoy most of the event.

Geoff, Alex, Julie & other sailing parents.

Dinner next to the river is a nice way to do it. The views down to the city are fantastic.

Meri, Stephane, Yves.

While we catch up, Stephane celebrated his first birthday at a local park in Stanmore. He is looking like a chipper young lad. Congrats to Yves and Meri.

Heading out somewhere, heading to the train station.

Here we heading out on the train. Don't know where. Don't know when. Maybe just to go into the city for a walk. The boys are kitted up with skate things to boost their range and speed it up.

Tom, Kathy, Melissa, and Vince. More grandchildren?

Tom and Melissa are engaged to get married. Not sure exactly when that will be. He is a great guy and they'll do well. Facebook posts are left leaning, on guns, distribution of the wealth, Bernie Sanders (US presidential candidate), race. And he loves whiskey which is an instant plus.

Lunch after watching Tess play AFL.

My boys have about 20 cousins. When they all get married, this family tree is going to be hard to track I'd say.

When we to watch Tess play AFL near Mosman with aunty Ceal, Fil and uncle Dave. Ollie always grabs my hat, which I don't mind - a healthy way to avoid skin cancer. I wonder if my kids will read my ravings in years to come?
