Boys Update

 Jayden

Loves his football. His team, Madrid, are going great guns thanks to the dedication and training style of their coach, Chris (with beanie).

Casual sketch!

With the Ooshies collection, one to go. This has been a family project, the kids love it. Keep in mind you get one when you spend $30 and there is no guarantee as to what you get. I reckon you need to spend about $2.5k which allows for a double up rate of 50% and that's far from what it really was going by the number of double and triple ups that have gone on.

Cloud & Bubbles

New Music

 They've done it again! Yet another Stone's studio double album. Foreign Tongues.

Some shades of Hackney Diamonds and other great songs especially on side C (my opinion).

A great addition to my small Rolling Stones vinyl collection.

To me, these guys are inspirational. Right through my entire adult life they have been there, getting old like me, never giving up and staying loyal to the music.

Jay in Action

I love watching these guys play. These shot feature Jay.

Lewis at work. Trying his hand at painting.

His sketch. His current focus.

Downtown Tauranga. Things are on the move at last.

Us mid 70's

I liked exploring the Whakamarama bush.

My sister humble abode. She made it home.

Rob some years back.

I was walking up Mauao in the 70's, most days I was in town. So sad it's currently closed.

 

Beautiful Winter Sunrise

 

Schools Cross Country Season

Matua Primary School year 4. Lewis second from left.

He did well. Finished better than mid field.

The finish.

Otumoetai Intermediate Year 7. Jayden in blue.

Jay finished mid field. It was a challenging course for these lads.

Some kids had fun along the way.
