Brunch at the Pearl Oyster...

Today I had Brunch with the kids in Northcote, it was nice.

Last Night At The Blue Tile....

Last night I went into town to see some live music.
Aimee's had a residency  at the Blue Tile Longue,
The theme was kind of country.

Looking in from the street.

Bella and Will, took the first set.

getting organised...

A bit of cousin harmony on the last song.

Music At My Place...

Last night the kids came over for a practice...they sound great together.

Back In The Day....

Max and  Alex with their Grandfather Henry,
(who passed away on Thursday night)
Tess the Blue-heeler peeping around the door,
 and Bluebella, ... in the drive way.

Look Who Came To Dinner...

I took a couple of pics of Max the other day, looks like he's growing up.

Back Home Safe And Sound...

He's back at last and this is a beautiful drawing that he gave me
drawn by a Russian artist Yulia who he met in Edinburg.

I Miss Max...

One's home and one's still away.

Welcome back Alex and Grant..
(caught in the 60's at Alices' 21'st...)

Thanks to Emma via Facebook, for the photo.

Finding Little Treasures...

In the process of cleaning up, I came upon this illustration...

It's ink on a padded envelope.
Alex drew it for Max...
and I have a strange feeling
 it had something to do with C.S Lewis.

When All You Want To Do Is Relax...

Max (who's just gone to the country) and Nardia...

Look What The Cat Dragged Home...

Fede and Max after a hard weeks work picking 'Gladiators',
 or was that Gladiolus. I've been begging them to bring some home and here they are.
They work hard and come home caked in mountain dirt, but every things OK when it's payday.

Max Came Home For The Weekend...

Nice that he's working hard and doing well....
doesn't mean I've seen much of him though!.

A Little Bit Of Alex...

My two sweeties in Edinburgh.

Visiting Max...

Some pics from the Swan Hill experience.

Looks like all that hard work agrees with him,
a relaxed Max at Spoons cafe.

The view from the back deck of the cafe.
Lots of activity on the river.

The actual deck, such a lovely spot to stop and have a chat.

Me in a faded mirror in Max's caravan,
so retro.

Fabulous pizza oven out the front of the property.

Even a built in veggie garden.

The bridge crossing over the Murry River,
and it's a fond farewell to Swan Hill.

I Miss Maxwell...

And his off the wall humour and perspective.

Don't know that I've really got permission to post this,
but any way I love the 'crazy boy' stencil.
All about jumping up and jumping off.

Happy Anniversary...

To the crazy couple, congratulations, have a happy day, and lots of love...mum.

Taken in Edinburgh, on the big trip...

Alex sent me these photos thismorning,

They were taken on a medium format camera by one of her bosses.
Love the black and white mood.
I'll see if I'm exceeding my space on blogger, as I can't seem to minimise the quality

Max is home in the morning..

I've missed him, and it's only a short turn over between his return and my departure.
I'm getting excited about seeing Alex and Grant...yea...


These pics are from skype.

Silly, Sad Muffin and Kunny..

Silly Happy, Muffin and Kunny.
(Maybe they're happy to get back to normal)

Skype...

This morning I'd just turned on the computer and there was that bubbly noise that means someone is trying to skype you...As you can see Max has arrived safely in UK, and is now in Scotland.

Complete with over tired silly face, oh well I wanted to see both of them on my computer screen.
