Xmas in Perth

Me and Rob spent Xmas with the folks in Perth this year.
Only 1 week here then back home. Has been nice. Xmas day was great lots to eat and eat and eat some more.
So far we have done lots of shopping and Rob has been lucky to escape the family stuff and go fishing with Dad.
Apologies to all that i have not caught up with as iv tried to dedicate some time to my Oma (dutch for Grandma) as she is in a nursing home now and well life is to short with living in NT i never know if this is the last time that i may see her. I took her to Myers today to go shopping for some blouses, i should have been wearing 'L' plates as my wheel chair driving skills are not the flashest, but she survived my driving.
Tomorrow im taking Rob sightseeing for the day, Sunday last day with family then back on plane first thing Mon morning.
Yes i know Blogs are far and few between lately but im hoping that this new year everything will be a lot more relaxed and less hectic and il be able to share more with whats happening.

Cyclone Season on its way

Thought id better get shopping and start the cyclone kit. We still have some of last years items in our cyclone cupboard so this is a top up on the food items, its good to be prepared. Last year when we went on cyclone watch the supermarket shelves were bare within a couple of hours- no batteries, no water, no canned food!!! ahhhhhhh nightmare!!
