12 of 12, March 2009

I love the idea of the ’12 of 12′ project: take 22 pictures on the 12th day of each month.  Why?  For several reasons. We often go out of our way to photograph special things or special days, however lose…

A Visit from Lye Yee, Clayton, and Liam!

I’ve been waiting for it to happen ever since I moved to Tasmania and it finally has: my friends Lye Yee and Clayton have come to visit Hobart!  It was a fairly short visit, plus Liam’s afternoon nap meant we…

Windy Outside the House as Well

Hobart can be windy.   Very windy.   All our geocaches start of with ‘S42°’; we are in the roaring 40’s.  But today’s wind was a bit strong even for Hobart, getting up to 120 kms per hour (75 miles…

The Moët et Chandon of Waters

Yes, that’s right, according to Lottie the sweet waters of Epernay actually spring up from our shower.  Snuva thought so too, and when 2 out of 2 Schnauzers think the same thing it must be fact!  What is this obsession…

Christmas Eve – the last day of work until 5 January 2009 – hooray!  And it’s not much of a work day; Lottie will be in the office and we’ll all goof off and eat food – double hooray! Scott’s…

Work Christmas Lunch

                           Our work Christmas lunch wasn’t all that great last year.  Nothing had been organised, so we wound up just going to the closest pub, the New Sydney.  The food wasn’t great, and it was too…

Another Monday Evening at Cornelian Bay

Well the summer solstice has come and gone, so although it’s only just feeling like summer – and the hottest days are ahead of us – our days will start being shorter.  Being a Monday, we went down to Cornelian…
