• My brother.

  December 26, 2013

  I called in to see my sister in law when I was in Melbourne. She was looking quite good, which I guess is the result of not having to look after my brother at their home. She had wanted to keep him at home for hopefully another year, but things came to a head a…

• West Australia and family matters.

  December 5, 2013

  Well what a nice surprise. I got in to OD with no problems. How long has it been working again?lol I must say I had resigned myself to the fact it would give up the ghost, but am glad it's still going. We had a wonderful week in West Australia with Melissa and Evan. Lovely…

• If you read this, I’m still here!

  November 1, 2013

  Finally managed to get in and write. I've enjoyed being on OD over the years, but wonder how long the site may last. I joined Prosebox just in case OD folds, and have the same diary name, but have done no entries there. In 3 weeks we're off to Perth in West Australia to visit…

• Scotland.

  September 28, 2013

  Finally got my photos of Scotland sorted and ready to post, if OD lets me. We did a 3 day round trip tour from Edinburgh, visiting Glencoe, Trossachs, Loch Lomond, Fort William and Skye. A great tour and no rain. Kilt Rock, Skye. Glencoe. Took the Jacobite train (also known as Harry Potter Train)...

  September 13, 2013

  I'm hoping that after I write this entry, I can post it. It's taken me ages to even get into the site. After my last entry, I had meant to post some Scotland photos, but things have been happening and I just didn't have time. Most of August we were both visiting doctors and specialists…

  July 23, 2013

  East Side Gallery, Berlin. It's a 1.3 km section of the Berlin Wall, with paintings by 105 artists from all over the world. Painted on the east side of the Berlin Wall in 1990 as a memorial for freedom. This one was my favourite although all were wonderful. Section of the wall and the original&he...

• Photos, and lots of them.

  July 18, 2013

  These are just some photos taken on our trip. I'll have to do a few entries as I have many still to go through. This is taken from where we stayed with my cousins in Fife, Scotland, looking over the Firth of Forth. Beach at St. Andrews. St. Andrews golf course. Royal Mile, Edinburgh. Looking…

• Back in the real world!

  July 7, 2013

  We arrived home last Monday, but it's been a jet lagged week for both of us. Yesterday (Sunday) was the first morning I woke up knowing we were home. But as I thought it was Monday, I'm still not quite there yet! Melissa and Evan picked us up from Melbourne airport and came home with…

• My holiday’s nearly over.

  June 16, 2013

  Just a quick note to say our holiday has been wonderful. Unfortunately I only have a USB net connection and couldn't post photos to photobucket, so couldn't do entries. When we were in various hotels that had wifi, it was even worse than my USB connection. We get home to Australia at the end of&h...
