Fly Fishing The Bushman’s River

Fly Fishing The Bushman’s River

Those of you who know me probably also know that of all aspects of fly fishing, small streams are perhaps my favourite. How can anyone not love the crisp mountain air, crystal clear water, looming, pastel mountains and brightly coloured trout? This season however I really didn’t get my fix, and instead spent more time at home …

Pregnancy Time-lapse

Pregnancy Time-lapse

Over the 9 month of Sharon’s pregnancy I took of photo of her every second or third day. It was a time consuming process that took a lot of patience on both of our parts. Sharon had to change every night – into the same outfit – and I seemed to continuously be lining up …

The End…Or Just The Beginning…

The End…Or Just The Beginning…

After 9 months of pregnancy and news that baby would most probably come late, we were certainly not expecting what hit us over the Easter weekend. On Saturday we made our usual pilgrimage to the squash club where I played in a social doubles tournament while Sharon watched from the stands. Once I was done …

The Final Week…Or So We Thought

The Final Week…Or So We Thought

Having missed my first scan at 38 weeks I was adamant I would not miss the final (or so we hoped) scan.

Thankfully it turned out to be on the other side of the freeway …

A Missed Scan

A Missed Scan

After attending all 10 scans leading up to this point I was hugely disappointed when a work commitment forced me to miss the 38 week scan. I guess there was the option of moving it, but after much deliberation and a phone call to Sharon we decided to go ahead with the appointment. Being 38 …

Post Rugby Fresh Air…AKA Fishing

Post Rugby Fresh Air…AKA Fishing

After a night out at the rugby (and a few too many beers) I decided that a quick trip down to the beach was in order. I was in desperate need of fresh air as well as a little exercise,  and a flicking a fly into the surf checked all the right boxes. Checking the tides …

37 Weeks…It’s Coming Near!

37 Weeks…It’s Coming Near!

Yes, for those of you who recognised it, it’s a Sega Bass Fishing reference…or what Nick say’s to me every morning on the way to work. Just two weeks after our last scan we were back in Dr Czarnocki’s rooms for our 37 week scan. Baby Girl Prior is doing well and has grown to …
