Steves Birthday...

...on the 19th .... and the honey eaters return... and the apple tree is producing. What more can you want for a November in 2009?

Some Rain for November

You can hear the garden growing. Last night we got 35 mm rain and followed up with another 20mm thismorning. Thats a wacking 55 mm and is eqivalent to the expected total fro the month of November. Any rain at all these days is an unusual occurance.

Paparazzi Win Today

After 6 long days waiting outside the Hutchison Mansion, the Paparazzi were finally rewarded today when they captured the family taking baby Madeleine Grace for her first outing. It didn't all go well for the Paparazzi however, the proud parents refused to allow the eager photographers any glimpse of the the baby. It is understood from reliable sources within the family that young Madeleine Grace is so gorgeous that the family are refusing photographs so as to not upset other young couples, mothers and parents. Negotiations are proceeding with top managers at New Idea.

Saw Madeleine Today

I saw Madeleine for the first time today. Gaye has been up in Sydney these past couple of weeks during the lead up to Vic having her baby. I travelled up on the Friday afternoon Jetstar flight. It will be a big week end for Madeleine. Both Jeff and Jill (John's Dad and Mom) are here for the week end as too is Susan. All here to give Madeleine a cuddle. Here are a couple of the numerous pics taken of Madeleine in the hospital by Gaye. I will get some of my pics up when I get them off the camera.
