Gramps has a new companion - Oscar. When he got him he had very long matted hair and it was a few weeks before he had his haircut. Here are some before and after shots.
The photo with the firey eyes was when Oscar got really upset with Matt - we're not sure why.

Three More Months Have Gone By!
Another school term has been and gone and another term break! As usual it's been busy around here and also away.
Ray and I had a two week break in August firstly visiting Sarh, Kareen and the kids in Sydney and staying at their wonderful new house with harbour and city views.
Then we flew down to Melbourne as I was attending the Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) Conference. Neither of us had been to Melbourne in a long time so we did lots of sightseeing and walking and one of the days I was at the conference Ray went on a wine tour that also included a ride on Puffing Billy. In the evenings we mostly relaxed and watched some of the Olympics.
The next six weeks were much the same as any term time with Matt and Amy working hard at school and Ray and I working.
The October school holidays saw us each going our own way. I went to China with a group of students from our school and a nearby school. You see photos and videos from the trip here.
Amy worked several days in the first week at Subway while Matt was studying for his Mock TEE exams. Amy attended a Navy Cadet camp from the middle weekend. On that weekend Matt attended his orientation weekend for his RYE year which will be spent in Lohja, Finland. Week 2 of the holidays was time for Matt's exams which went reasonably well. He now has only ten days before the TEE exams start!
