It would be remiss of me to create a blog and not introduce our two Siberian Husky puppies. As I have mentioned previously, they are named Belle and Sebastian after the eighites TV show as opposed to the Scottish band.

Belle (two years old) , the black one, has a beautiful face that hides the mischievous puppy within. She loves to sniff new sniffs, to munch on chihuahuas and to run and run and run. Belle is also just a little bit inbred which is why she is unnaturally fluffy.

Sebastian (one) is our dopey and loveable boy. He loves everyone (including chihuahuas!) and just loves to be cuddled. He loves to dig holes and then to sleep in them.

They both love mince pies, walking in Newtown and to meet their friends at the Ingleburn/Minto Dog Park! The puppies have various names including: "One Twos", "PD's" and "Big Head and Long Nose".

It was wonderful to travel overseas last year however I did miss the usual relaxing trip down to "the South Coast". It's always beautiful and always refreshing whether camping or a a schmick day-spa. Here's just a glimpse...
I think Lib took most of these.

Tough Day at the Office

Greatest game in the world? Cricket... worst thing in the world? Losing the Ashes only 12 months after winning them. I've been a bit cricket mad over the past few weeks and here's one or two of my favourite shots (sorry AP and DC!)

Yeah it's a lot of photos... Well if Europe wasn't so damn pretty

Okay one or two (or three more)

Okay, you're getting the idea; We had a stack of fun practising our language skills; (Wo ist mein Frau?), Seeing the stunning scenery and striking architecture and sampling the local fare (gluhwein- warm spiced wines- was a favourite on a cold day). So many things to show and tell so here's a final (ish) sample...

Uber-snow

I'm hiding behind one of the many sculptures beside the Thames, whilst Lib's friend is a Viennese Elephant.


More from our random travels in Europe! In Grunau we experienced our first "Uber-snow"... We spent a couple of nights in a seedy Youth Hostel where dozens of locals got snowed in and decided to pass the time with an all night Austrian "Uber-bender" . Not much sleep that night...
