We had a very cute and super well behaved visitor in at work this week. His name is Mango, a 13ish week labradoodle! We are all in love 😍

O, O and more O
Orienteering is certainly hotting up in our house with both girls gaining selection into the ACT Schools O Team. The 2024 ASOC carnival is being held in Armidale, northern NSW as part of Australian Champs week.
The next three weekends are all double competitions. This weekend is the ACT Long and Middle distance champs. The following one is the last event of the Saturday series followed by the Bob Moautt tribute event on a new map in Googong. Then we head for a weekend away travelling to Clandulla for the NSW Long and Middle distance champs!!
The whole family made the podium in the ACT middle distance champs - Katy in first for W16 and Ella 3rd in W20; Andy won 50's and I was 3rd. In the ACT long distance champs Katy and Andy again made the podium in 2nd and 3rd respectively while Ella had a longer day out placing 6th.
It was a busy weekend for baking for the cake stall too!

Two Part Day
The group skied off the back of the Pleasant Valley chair and climbed the Paralyser. They then skied down into the beautiful Farm Creek bowl and negotiating the little climb up to Freedom before returning to the lodge! A great tour with everyone really enjoying themselves. Meanwhile others skied on the resort and others hung around in the lodge relaxing and doing jigsaws!
The short firework display began and the slope became bare! It was nice (but very chilly) to watch from the bottom as the fireworks erupted at the top of Front Valley and lit up the night sky! Great to be able to tick that off the bucket list. A memorable day and night for our gang!
