A new post

Hi everyone,

 On Saturday we all went down to Hobart city to watch the Christmas parade. One child was run over by a float (we did not see this) so it turned out to be quite an exciting parade. Veronica wanted to be in the parade, we told her next year if she learns the bagpipes.

On Sunday we caught up with Teresa B. at her daughter’s place who told us about the goings on at our old place of employment. She is very happy with life outside.

Today Joanne is home with a very stiff neck. She could not move her neck at all so we went to a physio and the doctors yesterday. She has a pinched nerve so she is now taking ant-spasm medication.

 Cheers, John

 

Homesick

Hi Folks, just a short note to let you all know how much I miss you all.  Yes, I’m feeling a little homesick!  I love Hobart, I love my family very much, I enjoy my job and the pay, but I miss Melbourne and miss seeing you all (friends and family) regularly.  We plan to visit Melbourne in February 2007 and promise to catch up with you all then, so be prepared for the posing of photos!  Until the next posting – bye for now… Joanne

Some more photos

Hi everyone.

 Last Thursday I took Vanessa and Nathaniel on a short trip to the top of Mt. Nelson where not only is there a great view of the city of Hobart but there is also a very nice cafe where icecream was enjoyed. We then went down to Sandy Bay which is considered to be the Toorak of Hobart, but not nearly as expensive. You can get 4 dollar souvlakis there but I still haven’t found a good kebab shop yet. I’ve been told there may be one in Glenorchy so I must investigate. We were planning to go to the Botanic Gardens on Sunday but unlike Melbourne it seems to rain here a lot. Yesterday we had snow on Mt. Wellington again.

  

Greetings Friends

We are enjoying Kingston Beach very much.  Besides the beach views, we are surrounded by trees, beautiful trees.  It really is amazing.  We certainly did not have scenic views like this in Point Cook.  Now remember Friends, if you ever visit Tasmania, make sure you contact John and I so we catch up and show or refer you to some of the wonderful sights down here.  PS:  My job is going fabulously well although I must admit I have never worked so hard in paid employment.  A bit of a shock to the system but I’m coping…
