Flying Visit

Our friend Simon visited for the weekend. He was in Sydney with work and popped over for a few days. He is in great form and is probably the most jet-lagged man on the planet right now, having flown from Ireland-america-sydney-perth-sydney and right now is chairing a seminar on approx 1 hours sleep. See you soon Simon.

Irishmen for hire

So, I came home from work yesterday, just to pick up my fiddle on the way to another gig and found these two boyo's scooping away on the porch. Fair play lads!

haahahahahahahahaahahaha

Beers with the Finnman

I had a few beers with Finn last night watching movies, he is great fun!

The garden....

Margaret did an amazing job on the garden when she was here in April. But since then it kinda got out of control, i dont have any photos but picture 1 foot tall grass in patches. Well, Jane and Mick did a job on it last friday and the place looks great!

The hounds

Rielly was complaining of a lack of doggy input to the blog of late so here are the lads resting in the bar after yesterdays walk.

Finest pint in the land

Here is Mick after pouring the finest pair of pints in the land last night.....

Back to the shed....

The Shed is a bar in northbridge here in Perth where we got the Wellie Toss board for the stag/bucks fete before the wedding. We have had it now for about 6 months so it was time to return it. Here is Mick trying to squeeze it into the back of the car.

Looks kinda like the back of the DeLorean in back to the future doesnt it.....


Perfect fit!

Hot stuff

Another present from Jane from her trip to america, a mini emergency back-up tanasco sauce bottle. Hilarious!

Clash of the titans

Came across and old photo this morning whislt clearing out the inbox. Here is a classic from a few years back, John Hearn as the evil Sith lord and I as the gallant Jedi knight, with our light sabres we got from IWOOT a few years back.

Dogbeach activities

We were minding kirby again for the weekend, it was his birthday so we took him to the beach

Brewnight

I brewed up a storm last night, a wheat, and amber ale and a light beer, all low carb, all with a few tweaks, some galaxy hops and special yeasts etc.

And here we are kegging the last bunch

Paging Dr Finn

Finn got a hold of some online medical qualifications the other day and started his own practice....

A brand new globe....

They call lightbulbs globes over here for some reason. Last year the trusty projector started to give warning signs of its globe coming to the end of its functionality, so i went and bought one online for a bargain of $800!!! The warning lasted for almost an entire year until last weekend where it finally shuffled off its mortal coil and joined the choir invisible.

Here it is, still in one piece after a year sitting in the drawer

Five mins later and here we have it all reset and resealed. The quality is much improved and we have another 2000 hours of cinemascope entertainment anead of us.

Off to the swan valley

We went to Lancaster on saturday , folks here for the wedding will remember it as the tin shed in the middle of the valley. Twas a tad colder last weekend though

Here are the lads enjoying wine and cheese aplenty

Happy birthday Mick

We had a little party last friday. On account of Mick looking after me whilst i had the ol swine flu, Liam presented him with his first medical kit.

Here is Mick giving Liam a checkup...

And then back to the front room for the obligatory sessiun

ITS A TRAP!

A present from Jane from the states, its Admiral Akbar, the most understated charachter in the star wars universe. He only has about two lines, but they are epic!

Robot chicken did a skit on him as well
