Anther week at Des Conor juniors with both of us being part of the scanning team. Another hectic morning with 342 juniors taking part.

(Clicking on any picture will open it/them in an easy to navigate album but larger in size) As soon as we saw the name, this was simply a must do parkrun. In fact the only reason we were in Melbourne was to do this parkrun! We left our hotel at 06:40 and were first to…

Well it would have been wrong to be in Melbourne and not gone to a show or two. On Thursday 3rd April we went to a show by Oliver Coleman. He’s an Aussie and the headline said “was nominated for Most Outstanding Show at Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2024. Now he returns with his best…

Bats!! Well, actually, grey headed flying foxes.. (They give Hilary the creeps) They have set up camp in the gardens. The area they are in is partly closed off with a sign warning of hazard overhead.

To be fair the visit to Tasmania got of to a bad start as the powerchair wasn’t delivered to the plane door like it was supposed to be. Therefore there was a very anxious 30 – 40 minutes whilst we waited for it to arrive. Then the issues continued as the car hire place was…
