Last One

My last photo for the year with the camera set on timer. This Blog has run its course now, taking a photo a day has at times been a chore, when I felt like giving up as I was over it, yet other times has been fun and provided the motivation to get out and about to take photos. It's interesting to look back over a year at the record of photos and remember what I have done.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Jukebox

Updated the computer in a touchscreen jukebox I made my neighbour.

Remote

Spent most of the day connecting up a remote to the cars central locking.

Oven

10 yr old Oven Died - Found a newer one on EBay the same so swapped them over. Now just to clean it!

Assembled

Xmas Day parts now assembled into this Basketball system.

Boxing Day Ashes Test

Boxing Day and Ashes Cricket Test match between Australia & England at the MCG. Molly Meldrum painted his fence in support, the way the Aussies are playing they need all the support they can get!

Xmas Day

Thanks Santa! You didn't assemble this! Finally put together tonight.

Xmas Eve

Annie with homemade goodies for Xmas Eve nibbles at her work.

Santa Sack

This is where the Santa sack hangs for Xmas Eve.

Last Light

Gotta love daylight saving, last rays of sun thru our garden tonight at 8pm.

Steaming

A shower of rain from nowhere on this sun heated road produced a steam display. Photo unfortunately doesn't do it justice.

No Flies

Put on a couple of flyscreen doors to keep the flies out this summer.

Almost Finished

This tiled mural is just about finished on the local PreSchool

Painting

It was time the front doors had another coat of paint.

Coke Fridge

The old shed fridge.

Xmas Tree

Xmas Lights

House around the corner.

Fuschia

3 in a row.

Past It

This has had plenty of use - just as well Xmas is coming.

Stuffed

2 little boys worn out after a big night.

1st Time

1st time Asha Mae has been on a horse - I think she loved it! Took to it like a natural, bare back riding with just knees and no hands.

Xmas Decorations

Local Xmas decorations up in town. Get cheaper every year!

Hay Bales

Unusual place for a hay stack??

Storm Clouds

A few good storms went through Melbourne today.

Coldie

Humidity today reminds me of overseas holidays - and a nice cold Singha.

Archways

Lobby along the length of the old Melbourne Post Office.

Myer Christmas Window

Big Tradition in Melbourne - Myer's Christmas windows. One of the many windows with moving puppets etc telling the story.

Foul

Basketball is meant to be non contact!

Overfull

All the rain has certainly overfilled the spa.

U2 Concert - The Claw

Harry went to the U2 Concert last night, amazing stage setup with 360 deg video screens under "The Claw"

Flash Flooding

Yet more rain - heavy downpour tonight on the way home from work flooded the road.

Xmas Countdown

Put up the advent calendar for the Xmas countdown today.

Sensor

Why do people design cars such that the sensor that regularly fails is the one in the most inaccessible spot! More cut & bleeding hands tonight changing it.

Graveyard

Car graveyard - visited the wreckers for a few little bits & pieces.

Car No.5

No 1 daughter is now onto her 5th car, Subaru RX Impreza.

Flash Flood

Flash flooding tonight - this is the road to my work's Depot.

Puddle

Been a long time since puddles have formed in the back yard. Drought's over with the years average rainfall passed today, a first for 14 years.

Bang

Bang! It was like a gunshot in the ute - rock hit the windscreen.

Slab

Vacant block next door finally has some movement with the house slab poured.

Surfing

Beautiful day today so headed down to Torquay for Lucy to try out her board - Gotta love RDO's.

Blue

That's a better colour.

Goodbye

Goodbye old friend - my shed jukebox I built has gone. Listening to it today and a fella working next door popped in and had a look and made an offer I couldn't refuse. Now the hunt is on for parts to make another one.

Long Reach

A long reach to get the concrete into this job - too muddy around it to get the trucks in.

Green

Thinking it might be time to get the spa ready for summer since 30 deg days are forecast in the next week.

Fail

Well, I fixed the monitor and that is working OK, just now need to fix the computer - lucky it is just the backup one.

LCD Monitor

Fixing a dud capacitor in this monitor so a pic is always a good idea before anything is unplugged. (That way it goes back the correct way)

More Rain

Instant lake created by rain on the weekend. Contractor will never finish the wetlands at this rate.

Mini

Taken to the Airport in style to fly back home today.

Brisbane

Flying into Brisbane this morning.

Masters Golf

Son didn't get any pics at the Masters Golf today so this is the best I could do.
