Dog-bait

Geoff helped out the airforce during the week by giving their dogs some exercise - that is, he was BAIT!!    They use the dogs for security patrols of the helicopters.  Sounds like the dogs really enjoy their work.

Geoff says:

"The German Shepherd’s name was 'War' the other dog name no one seems to remember. The dogs are owned by the Air-force they have one owner for their entire time they are in the Defence Force. They say they usually live for about 13 years."

Photos from East Timor and news from our builder

Our builder says...

"We are making good progress on our current project and are hopeful to be able to make a start at your place in the not too distant future."

We are still wondering if Geoff will be home before the work is finished ;)

Some new photos from Geoff are below - he says: "I hope when they start the renovations the scaffolding is nothing like this. The other photos are of the presidential palace as well as the Australian Embassy and pictures of the patrol around the camp perimeter."
