Monte’s 40th
I met Monte when he was 16. I was 15. We were rowing at our private schools (eyeroll, so stereotypical) and we met at a Head of the River after party. He didn’t want my phone number, he said we’d see each other at the Nationals in QLD the following weekend. He ended up chasing […]
Jade
I think I promised to write about the bunnies, but as I look through the camera roll on my phone, I can’t find any photos of them. Instead, I can see lots of photos of our new kitten, Jade. I had been thinking of getting another cat for quite a while. I’ve been missing Naigee, […]

I went out to dinner with some girlfriends last night. We drove into the city, ate a delicious meal and then drove home late […]
Monte montmont
Monte, working at the Brines’ property on National Tree Day I found this photo of Monte at our friends’ blog. I wanted to put it on my blog because it shows what a farmboy Monte has become, and I think he looks drop dead gorgeous. Unfortunately he has recently lost those long locks, however.
