Poor old (or not) Arthur. We were rather rudely reminded that he was forgotten in the last letter. OOOPS!" Talk about spit the Dummy!"  Rolling on the floor kickin' about: you'd think he had 'is throat cut. Needless to say: after a bit of time-out and a talk he decided on a couple of pics to share.
The first is at Binalong bay, Tasmania. A beautiful day and and what a lovely spot. Oh, did we mention that Tim's surgery to his thumb was done in Launceston hospital? The infection took hold on the boat on our way to Tassie for our annual winter holiday for 2 weeks. Well that turned into 4 and a 'alf weeks. We did get a little bit of sight seeing done though (between Outpatient visits).Whilst staying at one of our usual haunts in St Helens we did a bit of sight seeing and thought Binalong bay was just gorgeous.

We also Had a look in at the Sea horse world at Beauty point. All those wee sea horses! Cool. And not just sea horses. They had a petting area aswell where the children could get to hold sea creatures. A real hit with the children. We found heaps of stuff in the souvenir shop to buy. Reasonable prices too. 

I know it may seem strange for some but as we mentioned; we have a winter holiday in Tassie each year now. Well this year was a doozy. Plenty of frosts up Launceston way. These pics were taken around 10.00 am. everything was still white.

We also love a bit of architecture. The water tower in Evandale for instance. A lovely job. Invokes the old saying "they don't make 'em like that any more". Then we accidently stepped into the wrong shop and found this gem. It's the old woolstore in Launceston. It's said to be the best example of high art neovou 

Spring came early this year. We've had a much dryer winter aswell. I think it was about 40% dryer than the average. The grass has started growing sooner than expected as a result. 
 The last 3 months have been quite slow for Tin
m. He had a run-in with his Table saw. His thumb was cut but it was just a flesh wound; no, seriously. Not like Monty Python's "it's just a flesh wound". It was nasty but no serious damage to bone or ligaments. It was what happened next that caused the mess. To keep it short after treatment at the hosp. an infection set in and 2 operations later he now has a thumb with lots of damage. He may need 2 more opp's to get better movement. Let's just say he and his thumb are not real good mates at the moment. No pic's to look at. They're a bit gory for here.
There's been a lot of quilts coming in for Pam to do. She has lots of challenges with some of the custom quilts she has had to do but always enjoys the work. they always look fantastic and the customers love what she does with their master pieces. Here's a few she's done. (We only post pic's from people who have given us permission)
