Animania Festival

Peggy, John, James, Sanny, Nurusultan and of course...Vicky(lower centre) today at the Australian Technology Park.  (Simon, Terence, Tom and John Lu came too but they were somewhere in the crowd by this time)

my garden 2

these are herbs like rosemary, oregano, basil, sage, marjoram, parsley and taragon for when I cook pizzas (basil), roast meat (rosemary) or make pasta sauce with mushrooms, wine & cream (oregano).

my garden 1

I'm trying to get a mixture of colours in my flower garden but it's not that easy... only purple ones so far...

Nicola

One day this will be Mr Hamer dancing with Nicola and it will be her turn to be the bride... So much to look forward to!

David

David (far right) has only lived at home with us for 12 months during the last five years. He was born in Japan but is too busy studying and working to ring and talk about the tragedy that's unfolding. I wonder if he's happier living in a shared house with his two school friends? We just pay for his rent, otherwise he's independent from us. 2nd year Uni is so hard!
