Easter 2007

Hi all,

Lots to tell since my last posting. I have returned to work 2 days a week at the Adelaide City Council which is great for the brain drain. I have Amelia on a waiting list down at a childcare in Aldgate but in the meantime, my retired friend Raice is looking after Amelia on a Friday and I work from home on a Tuesday.

Iain has continued travelling around the different states meeting his new colleagues and catching up with friends. On Thursday night we went out for dinner with Iain's management team and I picked the place. As a work funded dinner I picked Chloe's which is a beautiful posh restaurant, we ended up drinking 1965 Argmanac which just about blew my head off, but was fabulous.

Over Easter we have friends staying from Perth. They have come to watch the Rugby at Adelaide Oval.

On Friday we took them to the Meadows Country Fair and then to Hahndorf for lunch and a meander. Then we were invited to go to meet James' girlfriend, Zoe's family at her house for drinks. The whole family were there so we met Zoe's mum Eloise, her brother Dion and his wife Bree and their kids Elliot and Adeline.

We are having a quiet Easter weekend, enjoying time at home with Amelia in the beautiful Autumn sunshine and then on Monday we will take our guests, Ruth and Eleanor to the Barossa, it's the Barossa Vintage Festival at the moment and there's lots going on.

Below are photos from the last couple of weeks and this weekend so far.

Iain with his stein, a 1 litre dunkel beer in the German town of Hahndorf. As the Good Friday licensing laws dictate, to have a beer a meal has to be consumed so a Bratwurst was also enjoyed.
