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'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

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

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!

.. 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.

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.

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.
