Hello again, all.
The time is near, now that we've been to Deva's part of Australia, (didn't spot you there, dear) to go over to New Zealand to see my Mum for her 99th birthday, which is next Wednesday, the 30th June.
Can spend only a few days with her, and am sure we & the Family will have a hoot!
So it's off on Thursday & back on Monday.... aaaawwww.
Didn't the New Zealand "All Whites" as opposed to the All Blacks, give the top team, Italy a bit of a scare in the World football?.... hope they last a few more games as also our own Australian Socceroos, who need a bit more luck than they have enjoyed so far.
My business partner is in South Africa to see 10 of the games with his son, who flew in from London where he lives & works.
Posted a new photo of my Wife & I celebrating her birthday, recently: it was in a rather up market Chinese Restaurant, the waiter providing the lit sparkler at our table.. Great stuff!
Cheers

Because we are contemplating going for a short break to Perth, on the West Coast of Australia, it occured to me that I really should visit my dear Mum in New Zealand...so... at the drop of a hat we flew there 2 Thursdays ago & spent a long weekend of quality time with mum, who will be 99....yes 99, with all her marbles & sharp as a tack!
She recently, all by herself, upgraded from living at home alone & watching the traffic go by her window, to a most comfortable retirement village with lots of people, a gym, theatre, coach excursion outings & all the comforts of home!
On the Sunday we borrowed my brother's car & we went off to a winery (Pegasys Bay) one hour away from her domicile.
Had lunch on the way back at a seaside pier & generally enjoyed each other.
Monday morning early flight dropped us right back in Sydney, to then go to work.
We will do it again when her birthday comes at the end of June.
I am sure Mum will receive a "telegram" from the Queen when she reaches "the ton".
I think I shall write to the Royal Family to remind them.
Happy New Year everyone! xxx

THUMPER, the water feature [behind me with the "Beemer"] is part of the 2000 Olympics held here in Sydney.
It stands at the far northern end of the Grand Boulevarde created to cater for the massive crowds that attended.
Nearby (you can just see it in the background), they also built a pointy gently sloping grassed mountain (sort of like a ziggurat), for people to meet up (as a reference point) with their friends.
The water feature is a fountain of a series of sloping sculptured tubes jettisoning water under pressure.
Hope you enjoy.

Deva, Iceberg & Oracle.
The 'bike is a 2003 BMW, an 1150cc RT "boxer" & seats 2 for wonderful cruising/holidays.
We have also an older one, a 1983 BMW 1000cc RS/T, also a cruiser, both of which we have taken on 4000k holidays around Victoria & New South Wales, taking "the long way" to get to Phillip Island for the motorcycle races twice a year. My wife is "The Pillion in a Million" who I thought would never get on the back! But she loves it & can't wait for the next getaway! Thanks for your interest. xx
