Been Fishing!!

On Tuesday 19th, my brothers rang and disturbed my sleep in - I am on holiday!! Anyway they picked me up at 8.30am and we headed for Bluff to go for a day's fishing with brothers wifes uncle... great day - it started off a bit choppy or sloppy as the fishermen call it... and we weren't catching anything. So headed off to another spot and started dragging them up like flies in this one very little spot.

Robert and Malcolm with their fish.... Robert kept catching 3 fish on his line each time.

A Molly Mawk that came really close to the boat.... and my Dog Fish.

Going home after catching some Oysters....

Had to give way to this big ship - don't know what it was carrying.

Lunch at the Park

Carol and I visited the Dannevirke park for lunch today. There weren't only ducks but also these delightful chooks, which looked liked road runner when that were running.

Holiday

Yes, I am getting a holiday so.... have just spent 6 days in Dunedin with a dear friend. Now I am back and catching up on a few tasks that I haven't done for a while.

Visit to Alexandra

As Reece and Louise are expecting their first child this month.

The weekend of the 16 January, I wasn't milking so headed up to Alex. That evening I was roped into driving the ute for 3 rabbit/hare shooters!! Or should I say wannerbe shooters.

Here are a few photos. Note the photo of the hare it was at least a metre from hip to the ground:

It is amazing where you can find awesome photo-shoot spots. Reece and Louise had their photo-shoot here but unfortunately I have promised not to publish the incriminating evidence.

My First Nephew

Over the weekend it was great catching up with my relatives and my nephew Alex. Alex and parents picked me up from the airport.

He takes after his grandma!!

May BIG Birthdays

It was Carol's 21st Birthday and Mum's 60th Birthday. Carol didn't know that I was to arrive in Dannevirke for the birthday celebration. Many of the relatives arrived on Friday night and Saturday morning to celebrate the birthdays at lunchtime Saturday. It was only Mum that didn't know we were all celebrating her birthday as well as Carol's. When Alan and Carol arrived it let the cat out of the bag. Saturday lunch many of the locals arrived.

We played many games from group games to table tennis.

Looking back the long years over!!
