Lachlan's second birthday

We were invited to Lachlan's second birthday today. Not that he actually knows what that is but that's alright ;-) We bought him a nice book with named pictures in different shapes that you can remove and put back. In the picture are Stephen, Lachlan and Caroline.

It must've been a kids paradise. Lachlan surely had a great time climbing on all the equipment. I think he'll sleep very nice tonight.

We sat at a long table outside. There was another table inside.

Lachlan today learned how to blow out candles, which was funny.

Afterwards, on the way home we drove past the Volkswagen dealer. I wanted to see if they had any red cars on display. This is the black model that will take 3 to 5 months if we order it. They only had a red VW Golf and the red was OK. If they have a red Beetle with beige interior in the country then we may go for that. We'll see. First they have to accept our latest offer.

When we came home Mason took me for a walk.

We saw Caesar again who was told to stay away from the fence by his owner because the fence was being painted.

The cockies

In the morning a small flock of Cockatoos came by again to plunder our walnut tree. They can be quite noisy but they are very beautiful birds. Rather big too.

They pick the walnuts, try to open them and if they can't they drop them where ever. The first time they did this we scared ourselves shitless because they mostly drop them on a metal roof of the shed which is VERY loud...

We met Caroline, Stephen and Lachlan for lunch. It was a nice gig :-)

I continued working on my power supply today doing research mostly but I did want to mount the new transformer. Three times I walked passed a tap and die set at Bunnings and decided against buying it. I felt it would be handy at some point but just not at that time. Today was that time I needed them so we drove down when it started to get dark.

Not many people use these I think because they don't seem to sell at all while the quality ain't that bad at all...

I needed a few taps so I could screw my new transformer onto the casing.

It sits nice and tight now.
