Just like a new soft toy!
We have settled in here at Westward Ho. The girls have started school of the air, Mt Isa this week and have grasped the concept really well, not sure if the home tutor gets it all yet.
The weather is still sunny, dry and dusty with beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Speaking of sunrise, we are all up at daylight tomorrow to muster Dribbling Bore paddock. The girls are keen motorbike riders now and will be joining the muster tomorrow. They have been mustering in the plane and enjoy the dare devil ride of buzzing cattle out from under the trees, ducking up and down.

We had a trip to Mt Isa to meet the kids on air teachers and stock up on major essentials such as beer and wine.

I have started fitball and yogalates in town, my first classes were a success, and we are all a bit stiff today.
Just a short entry this time as it is friday night, drinks time.

cheers to everyone!
Chris.

Hi to the Utech's
Chris, great to talk to you the other night. Nothing much changed here in Sunny (not) old Bridgetown. Would love to pack up and come to join you but my oldest is giving me a nervous break down. The grass is a bit greener than in your photos - back to the spraying!!! Can we email you photos on this blog? Not sure how it works! Have a red for me and I'll have one for you.
