A rare day off work with my ranga today… so we went and watched Willow play in a school hockey tournament… her team made it the way to the grand final, but couldn't quite seal the deal… it was a great game to watch!

I can't remember the last time there were only two of us in the house for dinner… with my ranga overseas, Zoe in Queensland, Darci at work and Xan and Willow on holidays in Bendigo… it was just Jaimi and I left! … and because I don't remember how to cook for just two people, I let Jaimi choose whatever takeaways she wants… it was Maccas, of course!

This weekend we traveled to Bendigo to celebrate the 100th birthday of the Royal Australian Survey Corp… my grandfather, my father and myself all served with Survey so it was an amazing chance to catch up with many generations of old friends <3 

It all started (for me) with this civil reception at the Old Bendigo Town Hall, hosted by the Mayor of Bendigo, Peter Cox.
