But I’m sure she’s a bit over being kicked in the guts by the bub!

Roof should be started this week with the aim to have the coloursteel going on about mid next week.

When on the Milford Track with some mates, I had a fish. Didn’t catch anything but there were plenty of decent sized fish chasing the lures!

Here’s a photo Simon Sharp took… Awesome photographer…

What’s in that sauce?

I think the picture says it all. Jack’s not too sure about the sauce… perhaps they spiked it for the birthday to liven things up?

Check out how much wood’s been dropped on the lawn! I wonder if the sprinklers will still work?
