I wish everyone a happy and safe Easter.

Well it is that time of year yet again. Everybody says time flies and I reccon it was only 9 months since it was easter last year. I hope you all have a happy easter wherever you are & whoever you are with and a safe time for all.
Once again a lot has happened since my last post. My father-in-law (Rolf) & his partner have been to Oman for a holiday and had a good time there (lucky buggers^^), and we had a party again. It is funny how often people say on the spur of the minute that they want a party & voilá...party at Bluey & Harrys. LOL. That is fine with us, however we will probably have withdrawal symptoms when we move back to Oz. Normally we figure out with the guests who brings what, but this time we simply said "Just bring something for the barbie & something to share with everyone else." and it worked out PERFECTLY. We didn't end up with 12 garlic breads, 5 packets of chips & 7 tubs of potato salad...no. They bought with them a number of varied salads, desert nibblies and drinks without anyone bring the same thing as another person. Well done to all involved. There were a few familiar faces that were missing from the party. We missed you & you know who you all are.
Bluey & a friend (Anke) have also been helping some students at uni who have failed tests in the past. They are there for the students to ask them questions they have about what they have been studying & trying to learn for the test that is coming up next week. The problem is that one even asked if it was really necessary to start learning so early (about 2 weeks ago). They failed the test a number of months ago & still didn't want to worry about starting to learn so late. They also seemed to think that Bluey & Anke were there to TEACH them the subjects that they were taught already, when they are there to help them UNDERSTAND. As Bluey said"How do they think we are going to teach them something in two-and-a-half weeks what they were taught in there course that went for months?" The number of students has dropped so much that there was only one there to learn yesterday & one other came a hour late. Pretty bad... however something makes their attitude as slack-arsed-students even worse is that they are studying to be teachers themselves :-O :-O.
That was not really what I was originally going to say. What I was going to say was that we have more baby chinchillas. I was at work and Bluey called me to tell me. We were not surprised because she had noticed for a while that one of the females had been spending a lot of time on the ground and been seemly fat. So our non-human family members grows. They are just soooooo sweet little things.
Well, I'm getting tired and I have to go to work tomorrow (BUGGER...poor little me). So, good night, all the best & a wonderful Easter to all from your mate Harry.
