We had a lovely day yesterday up at the Centennial Winery in Bowral, celebrating my Grandmother’s birthday. It was a lovely afternoon with nine of us from the family there. The food was good, the wine was good, and the company and fun together was even better.

On the ANZAC Day public holiday (Monday 26 April), about a dozen people from the Russian side of our family gathered at ‘Aunt’ Nina’s house in Figtree (near Wollongong). As usual, we had a great time all catching up over a long late lunch.
And naturally, Tegan having just come back from Hong Kong with new toys, had another chance to try out her new camera, so here are some photos: Link

Gee 1994 was a good year in music – so many of my favourite albums in this bunch as the SMH looks back:

I really find it a shame that there was so little from Jeff Buckley or Portishead, particualrly in the calibre of Dummy by Portishead or Grace by Jeff Buckley. So many good times and experiences in my life have had those albums as the soundtrack.
