Michael, Thommo and Clive decide to go fishing. All they get for their efforts is one big mud crab and a very sore finger for Clive as the crab bit him. He had the last laugh though as this one ended up in the pot - and very nice it was too. This was the last time he would take Veronica out as she was then sold and has gone to a new family.

Michael came over and helped Gai put the Christmas tree up. If he had drunk less beer it would have probably been done sooner, but never the less it all came together.

Off to Ipswich for Kiara's second birthday and we got her a slide to play on. She loved it and had a ball in between her jumping castle and the slide. As you can see our trained Forces were trying to assemble it = but this had to be completed later and corrected by non-military personnel.

The kids came around for Christmas dinner and stayed the night. A good time was had by all. With Clive now on holidays he needed something to do and with Veronica gone the side of the house is now wide open. A trip to Bunnings and a day later we have a smart looking fence and gate.
