Bloody hell who woke Jen? How's Bel??
Bel's good👍
Hehe yes I've been in hybernation... trying to wake up still🤪
No internet access at work was a killer, and eyes too tired to log on when I got home 🤪
By the smilies I have used I think I may have been going crazy!!😵💫
I love the shed we built...it's so nice to know Bel, Macca d Trakka n DR L are snug of a night ... plus Eddies Yaris. All the tradies I have around occasionally always comment on the shed and are envious. We've put in lots of shelving for all the junk I COULDN'T part with😉
I hope there is enuff young dubbers to keep the australian vw sceen alive say 30 years down the track.
I'm sure there will be judging by the number of young dubbers on here and by what I see on the road... plus there are few young families on here and the kids are being trained up to be VW addicts 👍
The VeeDubb scene wil never die 🙅
Our two little boys are going to be veedub bubs.
Yep that's right Jen, we have two boys now. Fidel is 2yr 4mth and Ruben is 8mth. I am still trying to convince Fleur we need a total of six kids to fill the bus.
lol, no Pete you have to save a seat or two for their friends, so maybe just 1 more kid😏
I can remember packing my kids friends into our people mover for BBQ birthday parties, along with all their bikes ... and taking them all to see cult movies at the Valhalla cinema & massive ice-cream sunday's at the old Black Cat cafe!😵💫
Hmmm one of my eldest son's friends got married recently, the guys all looked like they were out of the Blues Brothers! I think their education paid off 🙂
Got photos Jen? Sounds fun!
Peter - waves again! I love seeing HELBUS on the road, I know from a distance who I'm waving to!

lol I could try get the wedding photo's from Simon's Facebook, where I spend my time stalking while he's living up in the NT, the boyz all looked pretty cool. And way back when the kids were young we didn't have digital 🥲
Have you had any kids quarantined with the flu yet? (still teaching?) It's starting to get a bit crazy...I have a niece living in Singapore who is bringing a couple of Americans over for a holiday before they head home; she is being locked in for 7 days when she gets back to Sing
Hi Jay,
Surprise when I realised it was you. Been so long. Are you still VWCV. We live only seconds from there, we were on our way to the pool to drop the baby and the monkey child into the water for some fun. They love it.

I will clarify the mention of monkey child.
Fidel has a bedtime suit with a monkey face on the front of it. He walks around saying "ooh ooh ooh" and "look at me I'm a monkey" while trying to swing off towel rails, drawers, whatever. He saw them at the zoo and they are his favourite animal. He likes banana's too.
Yes, I'm still VWCV, just don't go to meetings or much at all any more. I work in the city, so I make the most of my evenings at home (Jen, nope, not teaching, working for Richard in IT).
I live about 5 minutes from there, I was popping in to my best friend's place, so I'm often around that end of town. Surprising we don't see each other more often!
Fidel's monkey jammies sound great 🙂

.. I am SO out of touch ... I can see you in IT Jay 🙂
Sounds like everyone is well which is great to hear👍
I luv the terrible two's ... monkey child .. luv it, so cute 🙂
... I think Aaron was 2 or 3 when I called him possum or pet when driving, dad was next to me; this very serious little voice said 'I don't have a tail, I'm not an animal,I'm a human!'?? We were floored...I don't think he had seen the movie 'Elephant Man'?? 😵💫
Aaron still floors me with his depth at times
Terrible two's is the right description.
He was a little bit late, waiting until 2yr 2mth until the tantrums started. Walking away is the only cure. I have been told he will grow out of it by the time he is 20.
hehe ... not too sure about that but the teens are the most interesting 🤪
Wait until Ruben starts to get into Fidel's territory ... another good stage 😉
Jay are you using your design skills in IT?
Goodness my Mac has had it's first invasion of Spyware after 3 years of bliss... felt like I was back in my PC days.. just installed an antivirus program for the first time 🙄
No design skills, no use of any skills. Money is the word you are looking for.

It has started. Every time Ruben gets near Fidel or touches anything of his, it is all on. Ruben is 19 months younger, but he can easily wrestle Fidel to the ground if he gets pushed.

I am back on a date to Aust not too far away 🙂
Scarily enough, it turns out there are two AVDubbers here. Me and one other..................
I won't say who he is in case he forgot to tell anyone else, but it ain't Barls 😉
Will be back for Valla, and I was wondering who had teh spring adjuster tool. Mind you, in my garage/mess I wouldn't have realised it wasn't there till I got to Canberra next year.
'Ah, whatever................'
Heeeaaay

Whoo hoo. I took the Helbus for engineering today. I know it is a bit late seeing as the Subaru engine has been in for about 4 years. Passed with flying colours and the engineer was impressed with the high standard of workmanship and the detail.
While that was being done, I took the two little terrors for a walk on the beach at Mordialloc. They had fun picking up sea shells and looking at jellyfish off the pier.
