Patty in New School Uniform

This is a sad photo in many ways. It marks the realisation that Patricks time are Oakwood Park Primary is coming to the end. The school we choose to him is on its last legs and will close for students tomorrow for the last time. Next year he will be going to the merged school, Yarraman Oaks. I think he will deal with a lot better then Lid and I will. It has heart breaking to see the principle leave, then a leak of Teachers and kids (including his Grade 1 teacher after first term).
Part of the reason for the merger was so that all schools in the area could share in the Government money, and I for one will be hot on their tail to make sure they come through with the funds that the virtually promissed for a rebuild of the new school that is in desperate need of it!

Hawks, Donuts and Patty at Waverly

This photo was from September at the final Hawks (Hawthorn Football club of the AFL) training session at Waverly Park before the Grand Final. Some one was nice enought to give Patty (who still had his face painted from our trip to the Royal Melbourne Show the day before) a donut that they were selling at the day that were specially sprinkled with Brown and Gold sprinkles. For those that don’t know, the Hawks went on to win it all 3 days later!
We have olives growing!

When we moved into our new house three years ago, one of our friends gave Patty an olive tree to plant because Patrick is well know among our friends for his love of olives. The tree grew well and is now very tall. We did wonder if it would ever flower up until about a month ago.
Then the flowers bloomed and started to go away and I did a bit of research as I was sure that just because it flowered, could it be that the plant was a male plant. Again, more research suggested that olive trees in general have male and female parts to the flowers in the one plant.
