We're back!

Friends,

We're back in Sydney. In hindsight it was a pretty easy commute. My fourth round-trip, if memory serves. No jet lag to speak of, lots of toys, and very nearly 30 degrees more than what we left behind. That means outdoor fun.

Look at this cow. Did it with no outside help whatsoever. I swear. Is it good or what? Chuffed doesn't start to describe it.

Lots of love for Ella. A real cutie pie (and properly annoying me at least once a day).

It was so good to see Toby again. It's been too long. I mean, just look at that hair.

A good day, then. Good night everyone.

Swiss times, good times

Nearly five weeks, that's how long I've just spent in Switzerland. Real good fun. Just look at this.

Run down the hill on a big wheeled scooter

Do what Indy does

Pose for the family's fine humour

Stare down nature's fiercest

Experience sheer, undiluted jaw-dropping awesomeness (this one still makes me shiver)

Play in the snow

  Play tit for tat

Witness and partake in daring feats of motoring

For a while the weather was Europe's version of an Indian Summer. Stunning.

Style is important when in old Europe. Including one's choice of headgear...

... and eye wear.

 Thanks everyone for a very cosy time. See you in a few weeks.

Sneaky me

While grocery-shopping today, mum got a real fright. She had lost me.

She eventually found me at the news agent, happily browsing car magazines. 

Mum's relieved. Dad's bursting with pride. All is well.

Harsh winter down here

Chaps

It struck me that many up north think that they are the only ones roughing it in the wintertime. They should stand corrected.

Winters are pretty harsh down here. For starters, I have to wear long sleeved tops, and sometimes even a gilet. Seriously. Ella and I also have to play alone on Clovelly beach.

 Although Ella doesn't really mind. She's easily amused.

Or is she?

The sun also sets fairly early. Before bed time, in fact.

My bed time, at least.

But then, when all are nearly asleep, it's bikies time again.

It's that harsh. 

See ya
