Monday

Big computer is working today.  They are so temperamental.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

When Joan and Nils were away last, a few weeks ago now, she took some photos just for you.  They were at a place called Tunagulla, which is 183 km northwest of Melbourne, and in the centre of the old gold fields.  This is Nils and George.

Some wildflowers.

A more distant a shot.

A different angle again.

Perhaps will give you some idea of the different landscapes we have.

I am sorry she didn't take a picture of the campsite.  They build a big campfire to sit around at night, as currently the nights are quite cold.  There is no power or facilities, so have their own toilets (Portapotties) and generators if they need power.  Mostly use gas bottles for cooking.


Didn't do much today, except get Jayden enrolled in a new group called PATS.  Which is "Paying Attention To Self" and if for 12-16 year olds who have parents with a mental illness.  Hope it helps him.  They meet once a week and have talks and games, then a dinner night at the end of the 8 weeks.  Then other activities during the years after they finish the course, like surfing and hot air ballooning.  Bowling etc,.  Apparently here in Australia one in four people suffer from some sort of mental illness during their lives. Rohan's psychologist was supposed to have organized it, but nothing had happened so I decided to make enquiries, and just as well, otherwise he may have missed out again this term.


Going on a picnic to Maroondah Dam,  one of our water storages, and only about 45 mins from here.  Taking my ex-next door neighbour and her husband that is in the nursing home.  Plus Jayden too :D

So hopefully, more pictures for you soon.

Hope all is well, be safe and happy.   Lots of love
