Richard's 65th Birthday weekend.

We had a lovely busy weekend for Richard's 65th birthday.  We started off on Friday evening with a meal at the Casino and a show.  We saw Echo's of Pink Floyd tribute band.  They were awesome.  Saturday morning at 6.00am we went swimming at the Gravelly Beach Swimming Pool, then out to lunch at the Riverside Hotel with some friends - sorry no photos of that occasion.  Then on Sunday we had a family bbq at home. Richard had a lovely weekend.

During the show, it was hard to get photos with people sitting in front.

We go swimming every weekend.

This video was taken before we went to 

Fiji and we were trying out our snorkel gear 

and underwater camera.

Twelve Days in Fiji

We had an amazing holiday in Fiji.  I took 100's of photos and this is just a small selection from our wonderful holiday.

Getting ready for Halloween

I love Halloween.  I love scary movies, I love decorating for Halloween and I love chocolate.  As we will be away for Halloween this year, I have got in early with putting up my decorations and eating chocolates.  No scary movies yet, but there's still time for that.

Sharni's birthday recovery day.

We called in to see Sharni for her birthday.  As they had been out the night before they were a little bit under the weather.  They were very quiet.
