Larry & Bj would like to welcome young Quinlan Bryce into the world.

He weighed 6lb 12oz

All is well with mother and son (and father:)).

Praise be to our God and Father for this wonderful blessing.
More to come later...

Strange Autos on Montrose Track - Mt Wellington

Hey Guys.

Sean and I walked the dogs up Montrose Track which goes up from Glenorchy to Mt Wellington Park. We had a great time, and we were stunned when we fell upon the old vehicle shells in the valley. We couldn't reist some cool photos.

Hobart in Winter & Recollections of Sunny Days

G'day Folks.
Lately Things are rather the opposite of hotting up here in Hobart.
Snow is on the mountains again and it's Fareeezing.

In July I went to WA as a respite from all the preparations for the new arrival.
I played supergolf with the Huizinga clan (apart from Diana who was with Jess on a European tour).

I really need to add more to this blog, although it seems more shall be forthcoming in the next few months (read years).

Bj is staying at home most days now and every complaint she has gives me goose bumps as we don't really know whether or not it's the latent phase of giving birth (now if you have been to a ante/pre/post/ natal class you would know what that means).

Winter is very cold in Hobart despite what people say, and Gas Fitters are temperamental.
We got an outrageous quote from one guy who was really nice, for connecting all appliances etc,
and then we haven't heard back from another guy who was a little more grumpy, but still ok (judging by the dogs demeanour around him), who reckons his company could do it far cheaper than that...

Complex, I know, but meanwhile we sit in the cold. Cold, but still holding on to our cold hard cash.
However, do not fret (especially parental units reading this), as we have two perfectly functional electric heaters and blinds in the lounge now to hold heat in.

Well i'll sign off now and might add some photos later.

We went to Gerard and Elizabeths cool Birthday Party

Rachel & Ian's Kids turned three the other day, and we were invited to say Happy Birthday. The highLIGHT was the icecream cake in the shape of Antarctica. C0mplete with edible chocolate penguins and (not very good for you) blue jelly ocean.

They are doing fine, and we go over every now and again and compare notes on our vegie gardens...L

SPUD

Slobberingly faithful,
Pawing at our hearts,
Underneath our feet,
Dog.

Bj Larry Annual Hiatus aka (well, you figure it out)

Well, it's been a year almost to the day since I've posted something, so I thought i better say something...

Firstly I would like to congratulate everybody who recently had a birthday, Oma, Janneke, Bj, Gerry etc. (John, I can never remember your birthday... If someone is reading this, pls post a comment).

And I am sure Bj thanks ya all for wishes and cards etc.

We are getting on fine in Moonah, and the Lounge now has carpet and is painted. Ready to move back in from the front "lounge". The vegie garden needs some winter vegies put in, and has been slightly neglected lately.

Spud let himself in the house last night (because someone left the back door unlocked and he knows how to open it ... clever dog...) and thought he would lock himself in the laundry and then play with the 12 or so rolls of toilet paper... hmmm... interesting photos.

Bj is 28 weeks now, and is doing fine. Larry is still playing in band and working every so often. The weather has yet to become traditional freezing Hobart weather, so that is a nice touch. Maybe the weather is waiting for our Natural Gas installation to come through.

On that note, we thank God for his blessings, especially during Bj's pregnancy and that we are all healthy. We can't wait for August 26 (Not August 28!!).

Greetings to all. Larry & Bj & Algernon Alberquerque aka wiggleworm.

ps, the picture is just to keep you guys guessing (hint: it's a little old).

Anzac day

Benjafield park opposite our house.

At Dawn We Will Remember Them.

Lest We Forget.

It's dark because, well, if ya notice the time...

Yes, I rode (as I did last year) to the Anzac Day service at the Cenotaph in Hobart.

I met Tessa there (haha, she set her alarm for an hour too late, and just managed to catch the end of the service).

A good day for remembrance and prayer.

Mt Field

Belinda thought that she would like to see snow on her Birthday.

We stayed a night in a cottage in Mt Field Nat Park.

It was very, very, very cool.

In fact quite cool.

See tha piccies for more info.
