For about two months, I've been without my personal computer, and so information about what's been going on in my Comicoz World has been limited to Facebook postings (which I manage on my mobile phone). So, here I am, back again, sharing stories of where I have been and what I've been doing.... It's been simple really: we've been looking after Rosie. Not our youngest daughter Rosie (or Rosanna), but Rosie: a lovely little dog -- Jack Russell x West Highland terrier, at a guess -- while Rick and Eva (the owners) went overseas. And, surely, I'd be somewhat amiss if I didn't share a picture of her, wouldn't I??!
Rosie lives in Strathfieldsaye, which is just outside (almost a part) of Bendigo in Victoria. Which, coincidentally, is where four of our grandchildren live. So, it's been a pleasant experience (despite the cold!) taking young ones to and from school, watching the grandsons play in their respective football Grand Finals - which they both lost! - and doing the sorts of things grandparents do. However, our prime purpose was to take Rosie on an hour-long walk each morning at 6 in the morning, and look after her home. It also allowed Carlene and I to also catch up with some family friends from long ago. And, of course, being so close to Melbourne, it allowed me to catch up with many from the local comic field. You'd think that two months would be long enough to catch up with everyone, right? Well, no. There were so many people I would have liked to have caught up with, but sadly time just did not allow. Here are some lovelies I did find time to share some moments with...
 Back in Brisbane, showing Rob Feldman's lovely family the sights... So what's been happening in the world of Comicoz since our return? I must share a little later on, so stay tuned! |
