Well it's been a very busy couple of months - probably a thousand words not written and a million or so thoughts many best left forgotten - I have no idea at all where the time has gone - I seem to be both perpetually busy and tired, without a lot to show for it.
There's a few positive things to say at this pre-Xmas time.
The Baptist Church in Diamond Valley has been putting on free dinners on Monday evenings for those impacted by the fires. We've been to a couple and more recently attended a Xmas function there.
Out of the blue or perhaps more accurately the black, I had a visit from Shane who lives with his family in a van at the top of Bald Spur. He's been driving past for months and decided just as a gesture of goodwill and solidarity to drop in with half a dozen beers.
A couple Wednesday's ago when it was 30+ in the shade and I was fortunately sitting in the relative cool of the van on an international conference call, when a bloke who's name I think is either Jimmy or Robbie from the first house in Mitton's Bridge Road dropped in to see if I was OK and needed to be cooler. "Just drop in if you'd like", he said and noticing I was on the phone was gone!
Can't complain about these neighbours!
Finally at least for the moment - here's a link to the latest hous construction photo's. The boys have finished for the year. A bit behind schedule but we're pretty happy with progress.

Thanks for the lovely supper on the dam wall the other evening, along with champers and chambois, chums, good cheer and chucking( prawn shells into the dam that is). I reckon you two deserve a medal so I have done a little blog about the caravan of courage. I'll see you in the new year, enjoy your family christmas today.
