Sadly the holidays are almost at an end. I did manage to achieve quite a bit: the house is much tidier and I've done some work on my thesis... and had many a pleasant lunch with friends.
I also took Jason who has been staying with us from Hanzhong (See BB's article about him here) up to visit nana at Mansfield. We had a lovely day with her, and also visited my aunts and uncles at Merrijig. Poor old BB had to stay home as his eye hurts at altitude - but we had fun without him.
On the way back I stopped and took this pic of a ruined house. I've often seen it on the way up and back from Mansfield and wondered who used to live in it. There's something rather picturesque and sad about ruined houses isn't there- I always wonder who lived there, who loved, cried, had children, and died there.
