Greetings patient blog readers.
After a few months without updating here is a big one. Where to start?
Back in February, we went to the Wooden Boat festival, had a look from the outside, then decided that the kids (and Joanne) would have more fun at the fun rides that had been setup not far away. We had Fairy Floss, Dagwood Dogs and Veronica and Joanne went on the Gee Whizzer.
A week later we were at the open day for Government House where we spent the morning. It is a magnificent building situated amongst a picturesque garden and was built in 1847. For more detail go here http://www.dpac.tas.gov.au/governor/. The kids enjoyed the Governor’s jumping castle out the back.
Then at the end of February it was time to go back to Melbourne for a week. It was a very busy time. We caught up with a lot of people. We visited our friends from Wattle Grove – Bobba and Milan; Mark, Nicky, Finn and Leila Rose; Sandy and Robin, and also Carolyn from the next street. We caught up with Veronica’s friend Natasa and her family. Joanne caught up Vicki, Jo and Sherilyn. I caught up with my old VU work colleagues for a kebab, and caught up with Steve, Paul, and also Cameron for a barbecue. And we of course caught up with family. After we had finished catching up and shopping we were quite exhausted and were in need of a holiday.
In March we went to A Taste of the Huon, queued in the sun, and ate chili mussels and abalone kebabs. Find out more here http://www.tasteofthehuon.com/about.html.
A week later we went down to Kingston Beach where I went kayaking for the first time in possibly a decade. It all came back, including the fact that you should not go sideways in to a wave. Veronica and her friend Paris had a go but found the waves a bit scary.
In other news I’ve managed to get some part time work at the University of Tasmania which is very handy. Especially as we will be selling our house in Wattle Grove very soon and are looking to buy down here.
See you with an update for April soon, I promise.
Cheers, John

Hi again John and family.
.
We are happy to know that you found a part time job which will help you to “pay the bills” as you used to tell us
Nice to see also your parents and friends.
The “Taste of the Huon” festival seems to be very engaging. Wish we could be there next time we visit Tasmania (in a few years maybe)
We wish you good luck while looking for your new house.
Lots of love from “up over” in Switzerland !
By the way, do you now have the cable connection and the time to visit our blog also ?
Benoit is asking from time to time about Veronika.
We’re planning to write next month on our blog an article about an attraction with little trains that will certainly please to Nathaniel.
