Winter has arrived with a visit from Bob

With the start of Winter the weather has suddenly turned cold and wet. Up until the end of May we were still walking around in shirt and shorts most of the time.The recent rain has been very good and significantly filled our water tank. I still need to do some fine tuning to maximise our capture of the rain. I also had to drain about 8cm depth of water off the top of the pool which had become too full.

Lani's father Bob came up for a short 4 day visit this week. We enjoyed having him here particularly the kids. He always seems to have some useful advice and insight to pass on whatever the situation.

Lani has been putting in a few more work hours lately and will keep it up until the school holidays so she can spend the holidays with the kids.

My work has been a little insane for a few weeks now with the implementation of a major phase of the new police information system scheduled to go live on 18 June. I've been working additional daily hours 6 days a week. I haven't been sleeping well and have become a little run down healthwise. I'm looking forward to post 18 June when I will hopefully at least get my 2 day weekends back to spend more time with the family, fish, surf and get more jobs done around the house.
